Abstract: A portable grooming device is detachably coupled to a shower, sink, or bathtub and includes a shower head style, flow-through hair-comb and flexible hose, through which water will travel, making the act of washing, conditioning, and combing one's hair, easier, more enjoyable, more effective, and more convenient. The portable grooming device includes a flexible hose configured to be detachably coupled to an existing water-supply source, and a comb in fluid communication with the flexible hose wherein the comb is detachably mated to the hose. Advantageously, the comb is configured to discharge fluid outwardly and away therefrom.

Abstract: A sensor for monitoring the current flowing in a wire of a circuit is provided. The sensor includes a variable inductance contactless current detector to sense the current flowing in the wire, serially connected to an internal power source and a resistor to form a voltage divider circuit. The sensor also includes a voltage detector to monitor the voltage level across the resistor and generate an output signal. A system is also provided.

Abstract: A method and system of sparse table compaction is disclosed. A repeating data pattern may be detected in a large data structure, identifying the large data structure as a sparse table. The large data structure is stored in a virtual memory as a series of virtual data pages. Multiple repeating virtual data pages may be mapped to a single physical data page on a multiple-to-one basis. Unique virtual data page may be mapped to a unique physical data page on a one-to-one basis.

Abstract: A conveying system (43) is disclosed including a vertical auger (27) which receives material from a horizontal auger (25). The vertical auger is driven by a hydraulic motor (37) and the horizontal auger is driven by a hydraulic motor (35). A pressure response valve (89) responds to a pressure signal (93), representative of the load on the motor (37) driving the vertical auger to unload or bypass the motor (35) driving a horizontal auger. As the load on the vertical auger decreases, the valve (89) gradually communicates more flow to the motor (35) driving the horizontal auger, thus feeding more material (grain) to the vertical auger.
