Abstract: A base exercise device includes at least one modular connection. The base exercise device is operable without any modular units connected to one of the modular connections. A modular unit may be physically connected to the base exercise device. The modular unit includes at least one exercise feature that is not included in the base exercise device.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biomimetic sensory engagement system configured to promote oral, tactile, and visual development in infants and young children. The system includes a unitary body formed of food-grade silicone having a hollow interior that defines a compressible volume, a pacifier-shaped oral-engagement element, a prehensile extension adapted to wrap around a support, and textured exterior regions that stimulate fine-motor and sensory exploration. In certain embodiments, the body incorporates wall-thickness mapping to provide differentiated firmness zones, and a handle loop integrally formed with the body to support early grasping skills. The spatial arrangement of the oral and prehensile regions defines a recognizable biomimetic form, such as a seahorse, monkey, or dolphin, encouraging child recognition and voluntary interaction.

Abstract: The disclosed embodiments relate to implementation of a trading system, which may also be referred to as a trading system architecture, having improved performance which further assures transactional determinism under increasing processing transaction loads while providing improved trading opportunities, fault tolerance, low latency processing, high volume capacity, risk mitigation and market protections with minimal impact, as well as improved and equitable access to information and opportunities.

Abstract: Disclosed is a downhole tool and method of use. The tool has a sleeve assembly slideable within the body between a first position and a second position. A master hydraulic reservoir is defined between the sleeve assembly and the body to a first end of a control portion. A bleed conduit extends between the master hydraulic reservoir and a slave hydraulic system defined, at least in part, by the body. An electromechanical control valve across the bleed conduit is configured to regulate fluid flow along the bleed conduit. When the sleeve moves between the first and second positions, the volume of the master hydraulic reservoir and the slave hydraulic system each change; and the combined volumes of the master hydraulic reservoir and the slave hydraulic system is substantially constant. The volume change can be used to effect control over downhole tool functionality.

Abstract: A fishing lure that includes magnetizable, exchangeable plates on the dorsal and ventral surface of the lure. A magnet is provided within the lure body for releasable attraction of various plates to the top and bottom surface of the lure. The elongate body allows for placement of different plates within the single elongate body, thus changing the look of the lure.
