Patent number: 9439399Abstract: An animal support harness and method of supporting and restraining movement of an animal is provided. The apparatus includes a sling that can be routed around the abdomen of the animal, and a plurality of primary support straps extend and are joined at a handle. A leash strap is integrated with the handle, and extends to connect to the collar of the animal. The integral leash strap along with the primary support straps enables an owner to control not only an upward supporting force for the animal, but also provides an inherent restraint to prevent an animal from walking too quickly or lunging, which might otherwise harm the animal.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2012Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: GINGERLEAD, LLCInventors: Elizabeth Dorothy Rubinstein, Barry Scott Rubinstein

Patent number: 7720325Abstract: A technique is provided for utilizing an optical fiber in a variety of sensing applications and environments by beneficially routing the optical fiber. A continuous optical fiber is created to provide optical continuity between two ends of the optical fiber. The optical continuity is created with the assistance of an optical turnaround constructed in a simple, dependable form able to control the bend of the optical fiber as it extends through the optical turnaround.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2008Date of Patent: May 18, 2010Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Harini Varadarajan, Scott A. Rubinstein, Rogerio T. Ramos
