20140116196 | Flared Grip for Bicycle or Motorcycle Handlebar - A flared or bell shaped motorcycle/bicycle handgrip which improves the design of handgrips, more specifically handgrips for mountain bike type bicycles and motorcycles with clip-on handlebars. Clip-ons are comprised of two separate short handles which are attached directly to the fork tubes, are placed lower than conventional handlebars, and are angled downward creating a lot of pressure on the wrists while riding. In order to alleviate wrist strain, and improve throttle control and steering inputs, the body of the present invention has an external surface which is flared. This flare spreads out the pressure and provides a larger surface for the palm to rest upon, and a larger surface area to grab onto, providing a more secure grip for mountain bikers. The flare is achieved by the base area progressively increasing in diameter, radially, the last half of the grip adjacent the second end, which is flat. | 05-01-2014 |

20140034203 | DUAL WHEELS WITH INTERNAL AIR PASSAGEWAYS - This invention describes a system to maintain equal pressure in a pair of dual tires, and also incorporates a valve mechanism that will prevent one dual wheel tire from going flat in the event the other dual wheel tire experiences a rapid air loss. Dual wheels are typically mounted on the vehicle hub with both wheel disc faces in direct contact with each other. To ensure equal pressure in both tires, this invention has air passageways machined into the wheels such that the air passageways meet at the interface between the wheels where the wheel disc faces are in direct contact. These junctions are sealed by a rubber seal or gasket. Both tires can then be inflated or deflated simultaneously through a standard air valve located on either wheel. Where a dual wheel arrangement requires the use of an intermediate piece between the dual wheels, air passageways can connect the two-piece wheels via intermediate air passageways going through the common intermediate piece. A dual pressure equalizing valve is connected to the air passageways and embedded into the wheels or intermediate piece. | 02-06-2014 |
20150042148 | DUAL TIRE SHIELD AND RUNFLAT - The Dual Tire Shield of the invention mounts between dual tires and helps to prevent debris from getting into the gap between dual tires and/or damaging the tires when it does so. In some embodiments it can also serve as a runflat for dual tires. Debris can become wedged between the sidewalls of dual tires that face each other, or “inner sidewalls” of such tires. The dual tire shield prevents debris from getting stuck between the inner sidewalls of the dual tires and thereby prevents flats caused by sidewall puncture or bead de-seating due to such debris. The device accomplishes this by: Blocking debris from entering the gap between duals and/or prevent debris from being wedged in the gap; keeping such debris from contact with one or both of the tires even if wedged therebetween; and/or ejecting debris from between the tires. Further, the dual tire shield may be made rigid enough and/or include rigid portions so as to act as a runflat in case a tire goes flat regardless of the reason. | 02-12-2015 |

The processor may be further configured to cause a source to transfer energy to the energy application zone and determine an amount of delivered energy, based on an amount of energy returned from the energy application zone and an amount of energy supplied to the energy application zone. The processor may also be configured to cause the source to transfer energy to the energy application zone at least until the amount of delivered energy equals the corrected amount of energy. | 08-21-2014 |
20140318489 | EM ENERGY APPLICATION FOR COMBUSTION ENGINES - An apparatus for igniting a fuel mixture by applying EM energy is disclosed. The apparatus may include a radiating element configured to apply EM energy to the fuel mixture at a plurality of Modulation Space Elements (MSEs), and a processor configured to determine at least one target spatial distribution of EM energy to be achieved during application of EM energy to the fuel mixture for igniting the fuel mixture, select a subset of MSEs from among the plurality of MSEs the subset of MSEs being selected to provide the at least one target spatial distribution, and cause application of EM energy to the fuel mixture at the selected subset of MSEs, via the at least one radiating element, to provide the at least one target spatial distribution of EM energy application. | 10-30-2014 |

20130267964 | CANNULA MOUNTING FIXTURE - A cannula mounting fixture may include a base, a first arm with a first cannula mounting bracket and a second arm with a second cannula mounting bracket. The first arm may be coupled to the base so that a first cannula mounted at the first mounting bracket is positioned within an opening in a patient's body. The second arm may be coupled to the base and includes a joint that allows a second cannula mounted at the second mounting bracket to be inserted through the opening. A cannula stabilizing fixture may include a base and a repositionable arm. The base may be configured to be securely and removably coupled to a first cannula that extends into an opening in a patient's body. The repositionable arm may include a first cannula holder coupled to the base and is configured to support a second cannula that extends into the opening. | 10-10-2013 |

20140013621 | Convertible Footwear - Footwear that includes a base and an attachable high top. The base forms low-top footwear that includes an ankle opening to receive the ankle of the wearer, and laces or straps to secure the base to the wearer's foot. The base also includes one or more strap openings. The footwear also includes a high-top that is attachable to the base to form a high-top to better support the wearer's ankle. The high-top includes one or more connectors that include an enclosed channel with an inlet and an outlet. An attachment strap is inserted through the one or more openings in the base and one or more connectors in the high-top to secure the sections together. The strap is constructed of a semi-rigid material that is longitudinally supportive to be pushed through the openings and connectors. The longitudinally-supportive strap and the one or more connectors provides for a straightforward and quick manner of attaching and detaching the high-top from the base. | 01-16-2014 |

20140043412 | Printhead Having A Stepped Flow Path To Direct Purged Ink Into A Collecting Tray - An ink collecting system has been developed to direct ink purged from a printhead positioned above an ink collecting tray along a stepped flow path into the ink collecting tray. The stepped flow path enables the purged ink to flow from a faceplate on the jet stack, around a junction, onto a lower surface of the jet stack, and to a curved lower flange of a reservoir housing, which directs the ink away from the faceplate before the ink drops into the ink collecting tray for disposal or reuse. | 02-13-2014 |
