Abstract: A tattoo aftercare assembly comprises an air-permeable transparent film such that the tattoo is visible through the film when applied thereto. The assembly further includes a carrier layer configured to be removable from the film. An adhesive is applied between the film and the carrier layer. A backing cover is positioned on an opposite side of the film than the carrier layer. The film and carrier layers are slightly narrower and shorter than the backing cover such that the backing cover is easily removable from the film. The film is configured for application over a newly-created tattoo for at least 12 hours, preferably up to 3 days.

Abstract: One aspect is a method of tattoo aftercare including preparing a cover assembly for application over a newly-created tattoo. A film is applied over the tattoo and the film is left in place over the tattoo for at least 12 hours.

Abstract: A muffler for attenuating noise produced by a pneumatic device. The muffler includes a housing, a base and a acoustic absorption insert. The housing defines an upstream and a downstream end, with the down stream end being closed. Further the housing defines a pathway that forces the air thru a maximum pathway thru the acoustic material. This pathway thru a directing conduit forces airflow and sound waves into the acoustic absorption material. Finally, the absorption insert material is disposed within the housing and includes a web of micro-fibers configured to absorb sound waves. This muffler can be utilized with any pneumatic devices to reduce the overall sound level of the device. with Has a reduced over all size compared to existing mufflers, and Uses a distinct design to maximize the absorption pathway. A pneumatic muffler that uses a distinct pathway to direct sound wave thru a sound absorption material.

Abstract: A spray gun 101 has a spray head 150 connected to a body 102 of the spray gun 101 and a reservoir 156 connected to the spray head 150 for supplying liquid to a spray nozzle 153 of the spray head 150. The spray head 150 is arranged so that liquid from the reservoir 156 is delivered to the spray nozzle 153 without passing through the spray gun body 102 in response to actuation of the spray gun 101 via a trigger 105. The spray head 150 is releasably secured and can be detached from the spray gun body 102 and thrown away after use. The reservoir 156 is mounted on the spray head 150 and can be removed and thrown away with the spray head 150 after use.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for animal environmental and health monitoring have been disclosed. In one embodiment of the invention the monitoring provides on-site and/or off-site real-time information on such things as heart rate, water usage, respiration, temperature, movement, tracking of location, and who is handling the animal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid spray gun with several improved features, including (1) non-cylindrical air passageways on air horns included in an air cap portion of a body assembly that provide improved shape and uniformity for the wide elongate stream of liquid formed by the spray gun; (2) the air cap portion of the body assembly being mounted for manual rotation on a nozzle portion of the body assembly between positions defined by stops and retained at those positions by friction; and (3) the body assembly through which passes liquid sprayed by the spray gun being molded of polymeric material and being manually releasable from a metal platform portion of the spray gun through which air is fed to passageways through the body assembly to spray the liquid.

Abstract: The present invention provides a liquid spray gun with several improved features, including (1) a molded polymeric possibly disposable body assembly through which passes liquid sprayed by the spray gun that is manually releasable from a metal platform portion of the spray gun through which air is fed to passageways through the body assembly to spray the liquid; (2) non-cylindrical air passageways on air horns that provide improved shape and uniformity for the wide elongate stream of liquid formed by the spray gun, and (3) an air cap portion of the body assembly mounted for manual rotation on a nozzle portion of the body assembly between positions defined by stops and retained at those positions by friction.

Abstract: A splice system for linear connection of fishing lines includes a female connector and a male connector. Each connector has first and second opposite ends, a longitudinal axis, and a shaped exterior surface. The first end of the female connector is connected to a first fishing line section; the second end has a first opening; and the connector has a raised interior feature. The second end of the male connector is connected to a second fishing line section; the first end is configured for coaxial insertion into the first opening of the female connector, and the first end has a raised exterior feature. The connectors have a first relative position representing a disengaged state and a second relative position representing an engaged state. The first relative position and the second relative position are rotationally displaced about the axis.

Abstract: A splice system and method for linear connection of fishing lines include a female connector and a male connector. The female connector has an outer surface, first and second opposite ends, and a longitudinal axis. The first end is connected to a first fishing line section and the second end has an opening therein. The connector has a co-axial interior feature with a radial extent. The male connector has first and second opposite ends and a longitudinal axis. The second end is connected to a second fishing line section and the first end is configured for coaxial insertion into the opening of the female connector. The second end has a radial extent greater than the radial extent of the interior feature of the female connector. At least one of the connectors is resilient to allow passage of the second end of the male connector axially past the interior feature.

Abstract: A fishing line splice tool includes a card and a lever. The card has a first slot with a first terminus. The lever has a second slot with a second terminus. The second terminus and the first terminus can be aligned along an axis, the axis being substantially perpendicular to both the first slot and the second slot. One method for linear connection of fishing lines includes providing a female connector, providing a male connector, providing the card, inserting an end of the female connector into the first terminus to thereby hold the female connector; and inserting the male connector into the first opening of the female connector. One method further includes providing the lever and inserting an end of the male connector into the second terminus to thereby hold the male connector. One method further includes providing manual force on the lever.

Abstract: A splice system and method for linear connection of fishing lines include a female connector and a male connector. Each connector has first and second opposite ends and a longitudinal axis, about which the connector is symmetric. The first end of the female connector is connected to a first fishing line section and the second end has a first opening; the connector has an interior feature with a radial extent. The second end of the male connector is connected to a second fishing line section and the first end has a projection configured for coaxial insertion into the first opening of the female connector. The projection has a radial extent greater than the radial extent of the interior feature of the female connector. At least one of the connectors is resilient so that the projection compresses or the interior feature expands.
