Abstract: A suspended exercise device comprising an inelastic elongated member that passes through and is supported by a pulley with stoppers on the inelastic elongated member where the placement of the stoppers on the inelastic elongated member determines how much, if any, of the elongated member can pass through the pulley.

Abstract: A method and system for producing, marking, and packaging ingots for use in fabricating dental prosthetics.

Abstract: An animal harness for use together with a stand by veterinarians and groomers and the like in which elongated members form an adjustable size loop that encircles the animal's head and extends to cam buckles supported by the stand.

Abstract: A concrete lid for an in-ground utilities box includes a plastic reinforcement structure filled with concrete. The plastic reinforcement structure includes one or more plastic sidewalls that protect the edges of the lid from damage. The upper and lower surfaces of the lid are exposed concrete (with the exception of the upper and lower edges of the one or more plastic sidewalls). The one or more plastic sidewalls laterally surround a plastic reinforcement grid, which is centrally located between the upper and lower edges of the one or more plastic sidewalls. The one or more plastic sidewalls can be integrally formed with the plastic reinforcement grid. The plastic reinforcement grid reinforces the concrete lid, eliminating the need for separate reinforcement material. Support struts can be used to support the plastic reinforcement grid while wet concrete is being poured into the plastic reinforcing structure.

Abstract: An animal restraint in which a multipurpose appliance having a cam buckle, a carabiner and a large loop is disposed between a groomer's stand and a slip lead strap, with the slip lead strap secured in the cam buckle and the carabiner attaching the appliance to the groomer's stand.

Abstract: A grip suitable for use with exercise equipment including a foot cradle, a handle and a connection element, wherein the ends of the foot cradle and the ends of the connection element are secured together and disposed within the handle.

Abstract: A preconditioned air connector (PCA) may be provided with a hollow body configured to pass a fluid flow, and a first mount assembly coupled to the hollow body. The first mount assembly may include a first cam joint with a first arcuate path of motion in a first plane generally tangential to the hollow body, a first mount coupled to the first cam joint, and a first lever coupled to the first cam joint. The first lever may be configured to actuate the first mount via a first transfer of motion through the first cam joint to draw the first mount inwardly toward the hollow body. In addition, the first mount may be configured to draw the hollow body and a mating component inwardly toward one another to pass the fluid flow between the hollow body and the mating component.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a PCA connector has a polyethylene body, wherein the polyethylene is durable, corrosion resistant, and exhibits excellent strength over a large range of temperature and moisture conditions. The polyethylene body may be described as a single structure with integral features, such as a bearing portion, a latch housing portion, a latch guide portion, and so forth. Thus, the number of parts is significantly reduced by the one-piece design of the body. In addition, the PCA connector may include a latching mechanism configured to secure the PCA connector to an aircraft. For example, the latching mechanism may include a pair of levers, which engage a pair of latches on opposite sides of the polyethylene body. In some embodiments, the levers may be rotated in opposite directions relative to one another to impart movement of the latches in the same direction, e.g., an axial direction.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a preconditioned air connector has a hollow body configured to route a fluid therethrough and a hook member configured to mate with a cooperating element to draw the hollow body into fluid communication with a mating component. The preconditioned air connector also has a pivotable member actuatable along an arc tangential to the hollow body to direct axial translation of the hook member from a first position to a second position to draw the hollow body into fluid communication with the mating component. The pivotable member has an arcuate camming surface having a locking portion that secures the connector in a fully engaged position with respect to the mating component.
