Abstract: An improved system for supporting (e.g., localization and/or positioning of) intravascular devices discussed herein provides for example a multi-element arrangement. A set of struts optionally projects from the intravascular device and contacts the vessel walls. The localization and positioning of the pump may be provided by the struts and/or by use of a tether opposing a propulsive force to ensure localization.

Abstract: A portably foldable condiment packet caddy is provided. The condiment packet caddy is foldable from a planar blank form to a triangular prism retainer having openings for slidably receiving and retainer condiment packets. The foldable retainer provides a foldable latch that ends in a hook for engaging an upper portion of a vehicle door so that the rear wall of the retainer coactively supports the engaged hook by way of the foldable latch having a series of spaced apart joints for selectively defining a curvature to facilitate the coactive support between the hook, the rear wall of the retainer and the vehicle door.

Abstract: A remote sensing device may include a mobile platform, and a LIDAR transceiver carried by the mobile platform. The LIDAR transceiver may further include an optical source, a detector, and a duplex optical element coupled downstream from the optical source and upstream from the detector. The duplex optical element may be configured to direct an output of the optical source to a target, and direct a return optical signal reflected from the target to the detector.

Abstract: This is a level designed to light-up when level. The drawings and specifications illustrate how each embodiment, nos. 1 thru 10, FIGS. 1 thru 10a, is designed to achieve this by its unique switching system. Each system is designed to complete the electrical circuitry as required for the level's lights to illuminate when the level is level. Each embodiment and switch system, also referred to as switch mechanism or contact switch, utilizes gravity and balance to direct the moving parts and complete the circuitry, whether by use of a pendulum, wheels, ball, balls, roller, rollers, liquid or leveling arm. The circuitry includes lights(s), battery(s), wiring, the switch system, and optionally a manual on/off override switch.

Abstract: Presently disclosed sliding joint kits, sliding joints, and systems including the same may be configured to join a first panel and a second panel together such that at least a portion of the first panel and second panel are in sliding contact with one another, thereby allowing movement of one panel with respect to the other. In this manner, panels may be joined together while still allowing thermal expansion and resulting movement of one panel relative to the other. For example, presently disclosed sliding joints may be used to join panels of an aircraft heat shield together, which may result in reduced buckling and/or reduced joint stress of the panels of the heat shield. Related methods of assembling a sliding joint kit to join a first panel and a second panel are also disclosed.

Abstract: A curb/walk forming bracket has two half brackets connected to form a spacer/bracket. Each half bracket has a main body with an outer fin and an inner fin for attachment to form boards. A top bend extends from the main body and has a guide hole for placement of a stake. A lower guide hole or formed surround extends from the main body and is vertically aligned with the top guide hole. Slots or slotted holes run the length of the top bend of the main body of each half bracket with the slots or slotted holes accommodating fasteners for connecting the two half brackets so as to form an inverted “U” shape when placed for forming in an upright position. Holes are provided in the main body of each half bracket for fastening stakes for ground anchorage. Holes along each inner fin of each half bracket allow fastening to the form boards.

Abstract: This tool is simple and versatile, easy to manufacture and use. It is capable in its application, of helping the user produce both simply designed or very complex pours of plasticized materials. It is a tool that enhances the options available to a do-it-yourselfer or handyman as well as to experienced craftsmen The description herein is not meant to limit the inventor herein as to the materials used, the methods of manufacture of components and their assembly or the application thereof.

Abstract: Optical scanning devices and systems are disclosed. In one aspect, an optical scanning device comprises a first rotatable optical component and a second rotatable optical component. The first and second optical components are configured to rotate about a common optical axis and further configured to deflect an optical path of light transmitted or received through the optical scanning device. The device further comprises a mounting bracket positioned between the first and second optical components and comprises first and second motor assemblies configured to rotate the corresponding first and second optical components about the optical axis independently of each other. An inner portion of each of the first and second optical components is mounted to an outer portion of the corresponding first and second motor assemblies such that the optical axis is configured to extend through the center of the first and second optical components and tubes.
