Abstract: The present invention introduces a pool tile dual brush head and its method of assembly, designed for user convenience and ease of manufacturing. The brush head comprises a T-shaped pole assembly that includes a central pole and two connection poles, each having proximal and distal ends and designed to attach substantially perpendicularly to the central pole. The distal ends of the connection poles accommodate various cleaning elements, such as bristle brushes, scouring pads, sponge brushes, and others, which can be attached through a rigid base. A key feature of the brush head is its stability, achieved through a unified nut and bolt assembly that connects all the primary components. This nut and bolt assembly ensures stability and facilitates easy disassembly and the interchangeability of cleaning elements. Furthermore, certain embodiments of the invention incorporate coupling adapters for enhanced joint stability, along with an end cap on the central pole.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a pool dispenser lid that enhances both aesthetic and functional aspects of pool chlorine dispensers. The lid comprises a design element for visual appeal and an air retention element equipped with an adjustable coupling mechanism. This mechanism allows users to selectively vary the amount of air retained within the air retention element, thereby controlling the lid's buoyancy. As a result, the design element can be maintained at a desired level of visibility above the water surface. The adjustable coupling mechanism is versatile, compatible with various types of pool dispensers, and can be configured to utilize threaded, snap-fit, bayonet mount, clamp, band, magnetic, gasket sealing, latch, and pressure or friction fits. This innovation provides a practical solution for enhancing the visual appeal of pool dispensers while offering flexibility in buoyancy control, ensuring the design element is consistently displayed at an user-selected aesthetically pleasing level.

Abstract: A dust-proof covering element is provided to close a projection aperture located in the dashboard of a vehicle and through which the information-carrying source light beam projected by the projecting module of a head-up display device passes on its way to a partially reflective return element. The covering element comprises a transparent carrier and an optical coating placed on one of the faces of the carrier; wherein, the optical coating comprises a metal layer with plasmonic properties, said metal layer being endowed with an array of subwavelength nanoperforations, and being configured to allow the extraordinary transmission of one or more restricted bands of wavelengths of the visible spectrum that are centered on the one or more wavelengths of the light beam projected by the projecting module.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a lead includes forming an elongated multi-lumen conductor guide defining a central stylet lumen and a plurality of conductor lumens arranged around the stylet lumen. The multi-lumen conductor guide is twisted to form at least one helical section where the plurality of conductor lumens each forms a helical pathway around the stylet lumen. Each of the helical pathways of the at least one helical section has a pitch that is no less than 0.04 turns per centimeter.

Abstract: A control module for an electrical stimulation system includes a casing having an electrically-conductive portion; an electronic subassembly disposed in the casing; and a header portion coupled to the casing and including a connector for a lead or lead extension. The control module also includes a feedthrough assembly coupling the casing to the header portion. The feedthrough assembly includes a non-conductive ceramic block; conductive feedthrough pins passing through the ceramic block and electrically coupling the connector to the electronic subassembly disposed in the casing; a metal flange disposed around, and attached to, the ceramic block, and a non-conductive spacer attached to the metal flange and to the casing to raise the ceramic block above, and away from, the casing. Other control modules include a ceramic block that has a rim portion that raises the plate portion, through which the feedthrough pins pass, of the block away from the casing.
