  • Publication number: 20240324551
    Abstract: A pet bed that is configured to be operably coupled to a HVAC register located on a floor of a structure wherein the pet bed provides a suitable surface for a pet and further provides air flow from the register into the room. The present invention includes a support platform having an upper and lower surface wherein the support platform includes a register opening formed therein. A register mounting member extends downwards from the lower surface of the support platform into a HVAC register. The support platform has a multitude of air apertures formed therein. Angular support members are integrally formed around the entire perimeter of the support platform and includes a plurality of air apertures. Leg members are mounted to the lower surface of the support platform proximate the perimeter edge. A cushion member is superposed the upper surface of the support platform.

  • Patent number: 10775600
    Abstract: An inverse microscope as a smart media device platform is provided. The smart media device platform includes a lower surface, sample stage, and a light source mount. The apparatus includes a lower, middle, and upper portion. The lower portion is a base that supports the smart media device, the middle portion is for the sample stage and the upper portion is the light source mount. The lower base is coupled to the middle sample stage by multiple support pillars. The inverse microscope further includes the magnifying loop as the objective, disposed proximal to the middle portion. And a light source disposed proximal to middle portion. The magnifying loop arm may be removed and replaced with a magnifying loop arm to achieve varied loop magnification power.

  • Patent number: 10100962
    Abstract: A fluid swivel including a stationary inner housing assembly and a rotatable outer housing operatively connected to the inner housing assembly. The outer housing includes an annular passage with upper and lower surfaces. Upper and lower seals are positioned between the inner housing assembly and the outer housing in seal recesses. A passage in the inner housing assembly provides fluid of pressure to the annular passage. The fluid exerts a first force axially inward on outer housing outer surfaces, and a larger second force axially outward on the annular passage's upper and lower surfaces. The second force is greater than the first force so upper and lower ring portions deflect outward such that the elastic axial deflections of the inner housing assembly match the axial deflections of the outer housing, thereby causing the axial clearances between the components at the upper and lower seals to remain almost the same.

  • Patent number: 10059402
    Abstract: A high pressure swivel is disclosed which includes swivel modules each having a stationary inner structure and a rotatable outer structure that can rotate about the inner structure. The inner structure of each module has the same number of vertical passages as the others. The inner structure of each module has a circumferential flange on the top and on a bottom lip so that each swivel unit can be secured to another swivel in its top or bottom with clamps around the flanges. The inner structures are rotatably positioned with respect to each other when assembled so that a vertical passage from a stationary base manifold to an outlet on the rotatable outer structure is formed. Various combinations of standard swivel modules can be assembled to accommodate specific swivel stack requirements for flow capacity and separate or comingled flow paths.

  • Patent number: 9605786
    Abstract: A fluid swivel that includes a stationary annular structure defining upper and lower annular seal recesses, and a rotatable outer housing operatively connected to the stationary annular structure, the outer housing defining an annular passage that has upper and lower surfaces. Upper and lower seals are positioned between the stationary annular structure and the rotatable outer housing and disposed in the upper and lower seal recesses. An inner housing bore is disposed in the stationary annular structure and arranged to provide fluid of pressure P to the annular passage, the fluid exerting a first force (Fv1) longitudinally inwardly on the outer surface of the outer housing, and a second force (Fv2) longitudinally outwardly on the upper and lower surfaces of the annular passage, the second force (Fv2) having a greater magnitude than the first force (Fv1) so the outer housing deflects outwardly, pushing the upper and lower seals into the upper and lower seal recesses.
