20130128261 | OPTICAL HAZARD AVOIDANCE AND METHOD - A source of light that could cause ocular damage within a given range from the source of light, such as a first laser, is accompanied by an optical hazard avoidance device, such as a second laser, that stimulates voluntary, involuntary, or both voluntary and involuntary responses, either physiological or behavioral or both physiological and behavioral, within one or more hazard zones, such as by inducing gaze aversion within the viewer. For example, a visible laser beam induces gaze aversion, pupil contraction or a combination of gaze aversion and pupil contraction, reducing the dose rate or exposure of the ocular tissue to damaging radiation from a primary source. In one example, the primary source is a UV Raman detector and the visible laser beam is selected to induce gaze aversion. | 05-23-2013 |

The stationary wall inlet nozzles are strategically located in the walls of the swimming pool. Each stationary wall inlet nozzle comprises several tangential openings for directing the forced water flows downwardly towards the pool floor. The pop-up nozzles are strategically located in the pool floor to work in conjunction with the stationary wall inlet nozzles to continue the water flow from the stationary wall inlet nozzles in a direction towards the main pool drain. The pop-up nozzles may be non-rotating or rotating only about 90 degrees. A water recirculation system can be operated to re-circulate and deliver the swimming pool water either sequentially or simultaneously to the stationary wall inlet nozzles and the floor pop-up nozzles. | 09-13-2012 |
