20100162504 | Marine Maintenance Tool - A single piece boat cleaning tool which has a plurality of cleaning surfaces are each cleaning surface designed to be used on a specific component of the boat. These components can be the hull surface, external lights and equipment which require removal of marine organisms, drive shafts, and/or propeller blades. The invention also provides a buoyant handle which floats the scraping/cleaning tool to the surface in the event that it is dropped in the water. A handle also includes a nonslip grip surface and an external protrusion which provides support for the user's thumb when cleaning. A chipping blade extends from the distal end of the handle. The multiservice cleaning blade extends from a proximal end of the handle. | 07-01-2010 |
20130087592 | Tool Set For Marine Applications - A toolset for marine applications that includes improved handle for buckets that provides an improved flexible gripping strap, and further provides a method of securely attaching the flexible gripping strap to specially formed spiked hooks that attach to a bucket. The spiked hook is inserted into a central channel of the flexible gripping strap. The hook has a distal end with angled spikes that allow the hook to be inserted into the central channel, but are angled such that they cannot be withdrawn. The hook further has a proximal end with an open hook that can be easily attached or detached from a bucket. The tool set further has specially formed wrenches that allow a user to adjust stopcocks that are located in hard to reach locations. The wrenches have open ends and slotted sides to allow them to adjust the stopcocks in multiple ways. That alternative use for the spiked hook is shown which allows it to be used to clean lobsters. | 04-11-2013 |

20100272433 | Method for Identifying the Optical Network Unit Power Off Reason - A passive optical network (PON) component comprising a power switch, a detector configured to monitor the power switch, and a processor configured to receive an interrupt from the detector and transmit a message comprising a first indicator that the PON component has powered down, and a second indicator giving a reason for the power down. A passive optical network (PON) component comprising a processor configured to implement a method comprising receiving an interrupt message from a detector, determining a reason for the interrupt, and transmitting a dying gasp message comprising an indicator of the reason for the interrupt. A method comprising transmitting an alarm message comprising an optical network terminal (ONT) manual power off indicator that indicates the ONT is shutting down because a subscriber has turned off its power switch. | 10-28-2010 |
20140233941 | Method for Identifying the Optical Network Unit Power Off Reason - A passive optical network (PON) component comprising a power switch, a detector configured to monitor the power switch, and a processor configured to receive an interrupt from the detector and transmit a message comprising a first indicator that the PON component has powered down, and a second indicator giving a reason for the power down. A passive optical network (PON) component comprising a processor configured to implement a method comprising receiving an interrupt message from a detector, determining a reason for the interrupt, and transmitting a dying gasp message comprising an indicator of the reason for the interrupt. A method comprising transmitting an alarm message comprising an optical network terminal (ONT) manual power off indicator that indicates the ONT is shutting down because a subscriber has turned off its power switch. | 08-21-2014 |

20100234194 | ABDOMINAL EXERCISING DEVICE - An abdominal exercising device is disclosed that includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion and the second portion are coupled to a first end and a second end, respectively, of an elongated member. The elongated member is configured to retain at least a first end of a resistive member. The first portion and the second portion each substantially contact a portion of a user's legs such that the user experiences a resistive force in a group of abdominal muscles when the user moves his/her legs causing the resistive member to stretch. The abdominal muscles remain engaged throughout the use of the abdominal exercising device. | 09-16-2010 |
20110105285 | ABDOMINAL EXERCISING DEVICE - An abdominal exercising device is disclosed that includes a base. At least one pivotable member is pivotably coupled to the base to provide at least a first position substantially parallel to the base and a second position substantially perpendicular to the base. At least one resistive member is coupled to a portion of the at least one pivotable member to provide a restorative force to urge the pivotable member from the first position to the second position. | 05-05-2011 |

20090320879 | APPARATUS FOR CLEARING TUBING AND RELATED METHOD - An apparatus for clearing tubing includes a grip assembly connected to the pair of rollers. The grip assembly is operable to move the rollers to engage the tubing therebetween. The movement of the grip assembly is limited such that a minimum tubing gap between the rollers is equal to approximately twice a wall thickness of the tubing. The rollers are moved along the tubing to clear obstructions. The apparatus can also include a clamp assembly having one or more plates that limits movement of the grip assembly to bring the rollers no closer than the minimum tubing gap. Alternately, the grip assembly can include first and second shell halves movable between open and closed positions with a channel defined therebetween, and the rollers are mounted in the grip assembly. | 12-31-2009 |
