Abstract: An inner liner for an elastomeric articles is provided. The inner liner contains platy mineral particles having a mean aspect ratio of less than three, where at least about 30% or more of the platy mineral particles have an aspect ratio of 2 or greater. Furthermore, an inflatable article, such as a tire, that includes an inner liner containing the platy mineral particles, is also provided.

Abstract: Force measurement systems and methods are disclosed for accurate real-time measurement of forces. The system is configured to measure force as a function of time. The system may comprise a handheld device capable of measuring a force externally applied to opposing surface regions thereof for the purpose of monitoring or directing isometric exercises for personal wellness. Additionally, the system may be configured to communicate force measurement data to a remote device or server.

Abstract: A camper mounting assembly includes mounting rails, C-channels, a front bracket, and a rear bracket. The front bracket and rear bracket are attached to the camper, and the mounting rails are attached to the bed of a truck. The C-channels are secured to the mounting rails and facilitate installing and securing the camper to the truck bed. The C-channels can be easily removed to allow access to and use of the truck bed.

Abstract: Described is a biointerface using near-infrared quantum dots for surface plasmon resonance imaging biosensors.

Abstract: A suspension system for a measuring instrument maintains contact with an object to be imaged or measured under circumstances that include a high degree of vibration by providing damping in only one direction. The system includes a rotating shaft with a friction damper that engages the outer surface of the shaft, but relative rotation with respect to the shaft occurs only for rotational motion in one direction.

Abstract: The stethoscope holder is a clip that grips a belt or cincture of an article of clothing and holds a stethoscope. The holder has a first arm biased against a second arm by a spring, such as a flat or leaf spring formed in a V-shape. A hinge or pivot pin holds the two arms together in a pivoting manner. The first arm has a front surface and a rear surface with a finger grip extending from the front surface at an angle. A gripping surface is formed on the post, the front surface, and the rear surface of the first arm. The second arm may be J-shaped. The second arm has a front surface and a rear surface. A gripping surface is formed on the front surface of the rear arm. The gripping surfaces may be formed by ribs, ridges, or flutes.

Abstract: Highly textured tissue sheets, particularly suitable for use as bath tissue, are produced by throughdrying and have a low number and/or low amount of pinholes. The low number or amount of pinholes is provided by using a throughdrying fabric having parallel wide ridges with a height suited to the particular tissue sheet being produced.

Abstract: A thermal inkjet printer with firing nozzles perpendicular to the carriage motion has two motors: paper and carriage. These motors, alone or in concert, provide the power to the service station. The service station has separate wiping and pen cleaning functions. The wipers need to move across the pens in a direction that is perpendicular the carriage direction. Through the use of gears, the wipers can be made to clean the pens at the same time that the paper is being advanced and using the same motor source. For capping, the caps are moved into place as the pens come to rest. The motion of the pens themselves could easily push a lever that pushes the caps into place.

Abstract: A differential GPS landing system having at least three GPS receivers at known locations in spatial proximity to each other, wherein each GPS receiver independently receives GPS signals from the plurality of GPS satellites and at least three reference stations, wherein each reference station receives a signal from a different two of the at least three GPS receivers and calculates two separate differential corrections for each satellite, wherein each differential correction is independently calculated using the signals received from a different one of the two GPS receivers. The reference stations preferably average the two calculated differential corrections for each satellite to produce an averaged differential correction for each satellite.
