Abstract: A nerve stimulating device with an adjustable length is shown and described. The device includes a handle and an elongated shaft with a stimulating electrode. The stimulating electrode can be selectively positioned to a plurality of distances relative to the handle. The device allows nerves in nerve regions at multiple positions relative to the surface of the patient's body to be stimulated with a single device.

Abstract: A nerve identification device is shown and described. The device includes both a nerve stimulating electrode and a skin marking device. In certain applications, a user contacts the patient's skin with the nerve stimulating electrode to deliver nerve stimulation energy that evokes an electrical response from proximally located motor nerves. When nerves are detected, the user applies skin ink via the device to the user's skin to identify the location where nerves were found for subsequent use in a variety of therapeutic procedures such as surgical procedures, pain treatment procedures, degenerative nerve destruction procedures, and the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract: A user interface system for entry of Braille input to electronic devices comprises a module with a single set of six tactile keys arranged in a 6 dot Braille configuration. The user interface system is configured to recognize data entered therein by user contact with one or more of the tactile keys as Braille input and to transmit said Braille input to an electronic device for display or further transmission. The interface further includes function keys which allow the user to manipulate, modify, or otherwise control the data entered and how the data is transmitted.

Abstract: A tire low pressure audio warning device for monitoring a tire for low air pressure and sounding an alarm when a low tire pressure condition exists. The tire low pressure audio warning device has a body that attaches to a valve stem of an inner tube or tubeless tire, or to an opening through a rim of the tire. Contained within the body is at least a low air pressure switch, a battery and an audio alarm. The low pressure switch is in air communications with the pressurized air within the tire or the inner tube. The audio alarm is electrically connected to and activated by the low air pressure switch when a low tire pressure exits. A centrifugal switch is provided within the body to prevent the audio alarm from sounding during tire rotation. The centrifugal switch opens when the tire is rotating, and closes when tire rotation is stopped. The battery within the body provides electrical power for the alarm.

Abstract: A tire tread catcher consisting of canister that catches tread as they are thrown off tire(s) and a housing surrounding the tire(s) to funnel and direct tread and road debris to the canister. The canister is attached to a truck or trailer undercarriage adjacent to and right behind the tires. The canister is open towards the tire and may have a scope shaped bottom edge. The housing encloses the front and sides of the tire. The front plate of the housing can be tapered to reduce wind resistance. The side plates also reduces wind resistance and protects the tire(s) from sun exposure. The housing helps to ensure any tread thrown off the tire is directed towards the canister, where the tread and debris is captured and retained.
