Abstract: A grooming tool for use on an animal includes a base arrangement sized for grasping by a human hand. A first section of grooming members is secured to the base arrangement and includes flexible members. A second section of grooming members is spaced from the first section and includes flexible members. A third section of rigid grooming members are positioned between the first section and second section of grooming members. The tool can include a grip assembly having a pivotable grip member.

Abstract: The telescopic crank handle drill bit attachment comprises a hook, an extendable rod, and a drill attachment. The telescopic crank handle drill bit attachment may couple to a crank coupler of an overhead retractable device. The telescopic crank handle drill bit attachment may rotate the crank coupler when the telescopic crank handle drill bit attachment is turned using a rotary tool. As non-limiting examples, the overhead retractable device may be an awning, a window blind, or a skylight. The telescopic crank handle drill bit attachment may rotate the crank coupler in a first rotational direction to move the overhead retractable device in a first operational direction. The telescopic crank handle drill bit attachment may rotate the crank coupler in a second rotational direction to move the overhead retractable device in a second operational direction.

Abstract: In the embodiments and methods described, a device is employed having a first multi-bar linkage in mechanical communication with a frame. At least one mechanical input component is in mechanical communication with the multi-bar linkage. The multi-bar linkage is selectively adaptable to provide at least three different motions for the mechanical input component.

Abstract: There is provided a method that includes receiving a request to provide a report; determining whether content of the report meets a threshold level of quality; and issuing a warning if the content does not meet the threshold level of quality.

Abstract: One embodiment of the apparatus for resisting motion comprises: a framework having spaced apart, first and second sides; a sun pulley fixedly mounted to the first side; a rotatably adjustable pulley mounted on the second side opposite the sun pulley; a load torque shaft fixed to the adjustable pulley; an input torque shaft positioned coaxial with the fixed sun pulley and with the load torque shaft and being rotatable relative to the fixed sun pulley; an arm having a first end fixed to the input torque shaft and a second end mounting a planetary shaft which extends transversely of the arm and parallel to an axis of the input torque shaft; a first planetary pulley fixedly mounted on the planetary shaft in alignment with the fixed sun pulley; a second planetary pulley fixedly mounted on the planetary shaft in alignment with the adjustable pulley; a first belt or chain trained over the sun pulley and the first planetary pulley; and a second belt or chain trained over the adjustable pulley and the second planetary
