20100038899UMBILICAL FIELD CONNECT - The present disclosure is directed to an umbilical field connect assembly. The umbilical field connect assembly comprises: a first umbilical portion comprising two or more first bundled members chosen from electrical cables, fluid conduits, and optical fibers; a second umbilical portion comprising two or more second bundled members chosen from electrical cables, fluid conduits, and optical fibers; a first housing assembly having a first end coupled to the first umbilical portion and a second end comprising a first coupling plate having a plurality of first couplings chosen from male and female couplings positioned therein, one of the plurality of first couplings being positioned at an end of each of the first bundled members; a second housing assembly having a third end coupled to the second umbilical portion and a fourth end comprising a second coupling plate having a plurality of second couplings chosen from male and female couplings positioned therein, one of the second couplings being positioned at an end of each of the second bundled members. The first housing and the second housing can be positioned so that each of the first couplings join with one of the second couplings to form mated coupling pairs, whereby the first bundled members of the first umbilical portion and the second bundled members of the second umbilical portion can be joined in a manner that effectively provides for a single functioning umbilical assembly.02-18-2010

20090006026System, Apparatus and Method for Monitoring Accumulation of Fluids in a Containment Tank - A system and method for monitoring accumulation of fluids in a containment tank is provided. The system may be operable to and method may function to prevent (i) fluids destined for an underground storage tank (“UST”) from entering into, diffusing into and/or contaminating the ground soil due to, for example, spillage or overflow of a fill pipe of the UST when filing or otherwise servicing the UST, and/or (ii) fluids present in the ground soil from entering into and/or contaminating fluids stored in the underground storage tank. The system may include a first containment chamber that defines a given volume; a second containment chamber that may be positioned substantially within the given volume; an accumulation zone defined by a volume between the first and second containment chambers; and a monitoring device for detecting accumulation of fluids in the accumulation zone.01-01-2009

20110304113Laundry Buddy - The present invention, hereinafter referred as the Laundry Buddy, is a specially designed laundry basket, comprising heavy duty wheeled castors which facilitate three hundred sixty degrees of rotation and an easily attached handle that enables the user to effortlessly transport the basket about the home. The Laundry Buddy boasts a mesh-like grate on the sidewalls, facilitating the free flow of air about laundry contained within. Positioned at each end of the unit are integrated handles for use in easily lifting the basket off the ground. Further, a recessed niche is centrally positioned on one end of the unit, inside of which, a sturdy handle is easily attached via an interlocking hinged fastener. As an added design feature, this handle is comprised of retractable, telescoping components and thus rests flush against the side of the basket when not in use, extending several feet in length when fully extended to accommodate the stature of an adult user. A nonskid, oval shaped handgrip is perpendicularly attached to the top of the handle, facilitating easy maneuvering of the Laundry Buddy.12-15-2011

20090028536APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MEASURING AN ACCELERATION TO DETERMINE A CAMERA DOME'S REQUIRED MOTOR HOLDING CURRENT - A system and method for reducing vibration in a dome camera security system is provided in which the heat produced by the motors is reduced as well. The dome camera system is equipped with an acceleration detecting circuit disposed in close proximity to the camera. The acceleration detecting circuit has an accelerometer for detecting accelerations in any of three directions (i.e., X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis). As a vibration is induced on the camera by external forces, such as wind or traffic, the acceleration detection circuit detects accelerations indicative of the vibrations and in proportion to the magnitude of the vibration on the camera. A controlling circuit adjusts the holding current of the motors in response to the detected accelerations, thereby increasing the ability of the motors to maintain a particular camera position. When vibrations are detected to be minimal or not present, the holding current can be reduced thus reducing heat production by the motors.01-29-2009

20110303703APPARATUS FOR DISPENSING A CONTROLLED DOSE - An apparatus for dispensing a controlled dose of a substance wherein the apparatus includes a compressible tube portion, a tip portion extending from the tube portion sized to receive a substance to be dosed, and a breakaway portion being removably coupled to the tip portion. The breakaway portion reveals an aperture in the tip portion upon removal of the breakaway portion. Finally, a valve member is slidably disposed in the tip portion such that the valve member can be movable in response to fluid pressure and/or manual force application to urge the substance within the tip portion out of the aperture as a controlled dose.12-15-2011

20080269911PNEUMATIC CONNECTIONS FOR PROSTHETIC SOCKET - A connector for fluidly connecting the sealed interior of an artificial limb socket with a pressure source when the connector is mounted to the socket at a hole and an artificial limb including same. The connector includes a flexible elongated tubular section having a lumen, a flange coupled to one end of the elongated tubular section, the flange having a seal surface for sealingly abutting one of the socket wall surfaces around the hole, and a tubular portion adjacent to the flange and extending the lumen from the seal surface of the flange. Tubular portion has at least one section oversized relative to hole which provides a reasonable air-tight seal between the at least one section and an inner surface of the hole or the other of said socket wall surfaces around the hole and distant from the flange, when the tubular portion is received within the hole.10-30-2008
