  • Patent number: 11109665
    Abstract: A structure which is designed such that its shape provides a surface where force may be applied to as little as a single point or surface of contact to establish control of the Point Of Applied Force Lift Structure (POAFLS) movement. This force combined with the gravity on and/or the inertia of the POAFLS provide comfortable control in 3 dimensions. The POAFLS primary use is achieved through its attachment to a secondary object. Through this, force applied to the POAFLS is translated through the POAFLS to the object to which the POAFLS is attached. Both the POAFLS and the secondary object have their movements controlled when the POAFLS is lifted, moved, or carried.

  • Patent number: 11109667
    Abstract: A cleaning brush is provided. A cleaning unit comprises cleaning beans fixed on a surface of the carrier in a bi-spiral arrangement. The cleaning beans are arranged in an unequally-spaced manner on center of the carrier along a baseline; and, thus, bi-spirals are formed on the center and coiled in two different outward directions. Two annular spiral curve paths are formed with the cleaning beans as coiling the carrier and extending along the two directions. When the carrier cleans an electronic device, a solution or cleaning agent is discharged along the curve paths in spiral tangential directions. Hence, the bi-spiral cleaning unit obtains positive and negative directions on rotating to create a plurality of flow fields. Dirt is discharged easily with water distribution enhanced as compared to unidirectional spiral cleaning devices while a large contact surface, a good cleaning efficiency, and a high decontamination ratio are achieved.

  • Patent number: 11109694
    Abstract: A smart makeup mirror device includes a main body, a display mirror unit rotatably mounted in the main body, and a speaker. The display mirror unit includes a display module, a makeup mirror, a support frame for fixing the makeup mirror, and a mood lamp mounted on a rear surface of the support frame. The support frame rotates with respect to the main body so that an angle with respect to the makeup mirror and the ground is changed, or rotate in a circumferential direction of the makeup mirror. The display module is oriented horizontally or vertically when the support frame is rotated in the circumferential direction of the makeup mirror. The mood lamp illuminates a mood light toward a floor surface when a rear surface of the display mirror unit is rotated at a specific angle with respect to the main body to face the floor surface.

  • Patent number: 11109695
    Abstract: A one piece inexpensive essentially universal compressive loading type hardware component that is quickly installed/uninstalled particularly designed for clamping a variety of common objects, e.g.; photos, canvas paintings, books, etc. directly onto the back of a common mat board comprising an appropriately sized aperture to provide a popular sized border within many common popular back-loading off-the-shelf picture frame assemblies with or without glaze. In particular, installing at least two said hardware components is required for complete installation eliminating need for other type fasteners to complete the assembly. More particular, adjusting art object location is easily performed by sliding said art object laterally under load of said hardware component due to the effective distribution of compressive loads to secure said assembly while mitigating risk of damage to said art object, mat and frame as well as employing a particular manufacturing process to mitigate risk of fatigue.

  • Patent number: 11109703
    Abstract: A mat includes a mat body defining an upper surface dimensioned for a user to stand on the upper surface. The upper surface is non-planar and includes at least one terrain feature defining the non-planarity. The terrain feature has a size that is on the order of magnitude of the size of the user's foot. Presenting this surface to the user may help remind him or her to move his or her feet to thereby adopt multiple poses, thereby preventing the user from maintaining any single pose for a fatigue-inducing duration.
