Abstract: An air handling unit (AHU) for a heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration (HVACR) system includes a housing and a combustion heater disposed within the housing. The housing includes a combustion section with a first channel and a second channel. The combustion heater includes heat exchanger tubes and a tube support that supports heat exchanger tubes within the combustion section. The tube support slidably disposed in the first channel and the second channel. The combustion heater configured to be slidably removable from the AHU. An AHU for an HVACR system includes a housing with a fan section and a fan assembly disposed within the housing. The fan assembly including a pair of grooves slidably disposed on a pair of rails of the housing. The fan assembly configured to be both slidably removable from the AHU and liftably removable from the AHU.

Abstract: A bed that includes a base with first and second sections each with a face and sidewalls that extend around the perimeter of and outward from one side of the face. The bed also includes a mattress and a support. The bed is selectively positionable between a first configuration and a second configuration. The first configuration includes the support positioned in the base and with the mattress supported on the base. The second configuration includes the mattress and the support positioned in the base for storage or shipping.

Abstract: A wastebasket that includes a body with a unitary, one-piece construction. The body has a bottom and sidewalls that extend from the bottom with the sidewalls having a top edge that is exposed and positioned opposite from the bottom. The top edge has an undulating shape that prevents the wastebasket from being used as a stool.

Abstract: A sensing device to monitor a person. The sensing device includes a sensing strip and control unit that are attached to an article. The sensing strip has one or more electrical properties that change when the shape of the sensing strip changes. The control unit receives data from the sensing strip and transmits one or more of the data and processed data to a remote node.

Abstract: A sheet assembly for use with a mattress in a correctional institution. The sheet assembly includes a mattress section with a pair of overlapping sheets that are connected together along at least two sides and that form an interior space sized to contain the mattress and a cover section that includes a single sheet. A seam extends along a common side of each of the mattress section and the cover section with the seam connecting together the mattress section and the cover section. The cover section is movable relative to the mattress section between an open orientation away from the mattress section and a closed orientation that overlaps with the mattress section.

Abstract: A two-panel bag constructed from first and second panels that each has the same shape and size. The panels are connected together and a top edge is open for accessing the interior space. The top edge of the panels form handles that can be tied together to close the interior space. The two panels have a laterally inverted shape relative to a centerline. The top edge of each panel further includes two identical sections that each has a vertically-and-rotationally inverted shape. The shape of the panels facilitates manufacturing as the panels can be cut from a flat sheet with limited or no wasted material.

Abstract: The present application is directed to an identification system that is configured to be attached to an object. The identification system includes one or more tags that can be manipulated to uniquely identify the object. The manipulation can include removing one or more of the tags and/or marking one or more of the tags.

Abstract: A protective hood that can be securely positioned on a user's head. The protective hood includes a section that aligns with the user's eyes and provides for them to see through. Another section aligns with the user's mouth and restricts fluids from the user's mouth from passing beyond the section. The protective hood is design to be placed onto the top of the user's head and be pulled over their eyes and mouth.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for a turbine for generating electrical power from water or air flow comprising at least one rotor disk having a plurality of hydrofoil blades, guide vanes, a cylindrical housing, and a generator means. A rim generator comprising a magnet race rotor rim and fixed stator coils in the housing is used. The apparatus is fitted with a screen to stop the ingress of debris and marine life, and a skirt augmenter device to reduce the Betz effect. The apparatus is preferably for sub-sea deployment and driven by tidal currents, but may be powered by river current or wave driven air or by wind. The apparatus may be deployed on at least one telescoping pole, tethered to the sea-bed and kept buoyant by buoyant concrete in the housing, or inserted in a dam, under a barge or in a tidal power array.

Abstract: A method and apparatus produce a bill for usage of a telecommunications network. The system obtains from the telecommunications network a set of events on the network; provides a set of schema applicable to a set of products available to the user, the schema for processing events retrieved from the network, selects from the set of schemas, schemas applicable to the products used by the user; and applies the selected schemas to the set of events to process the events into a form ready for bill production.
