    摘要: An energy storage system and method that enables gravity-based energy storage to have a significantly larger capacity in a single shaft for given capital cost and thus an improved cost per unit energy for large scale energy storage as well as enabling continuity of power input and output at an external connection point across the extent of the system's energy capacity comprises a multi-weight storage system having at least two weights, two transporters each with a transporter linkage that can be coupled to and decoupled from the respective weight and for transporting the weight along a pre-defined path defining a vertical displacement and defining a respective path volume, a second linkage path volume defined by the area of the second linkage decoupled from a weight and developed or swept along a respective pre-defined vertically displaced path, wherein the second linkage path volume does not overlap with the first path volume.

    摘要: A machine washable and dryable yoga mat with an upper layer comprising a towel material, a central layer comprising a layer of fusible foam material fused to the upper layer, and a lower layer comprising a polymer-coated fabric. The upper, central, and lower layers are stitched together to form a rectangular yoga mat body. The upper layer has a width greater than the widths of the central and lower layers such that border strips of the upper layer can be wrapped around the lateral edges of the central and lower layers and fastened. The layers are joined by side stitching that traverses longitudinally adjacent to the lateral edges of the yoga mat body, by end stitching that traverses laterally across the yoga mat body adjacent to the first and second ends thereof, and by a plurality of spaced lines of lateral stitching that traverse laterally across the yoga mat body.

    摘要: A convertible, all-terrain gear cart convertible between modes of manual propulsion, trailering, and support by a motor vehicle. A control arm with a trailer hitch connector permits trailering or manual propulsion and is pivotally coupled to a first end of a cargo bin, and a vehicle engaging member to permit support and transport by a motor vehicle projects from the second end of the cargo bin. Detachable, all-terrain wheels with lateral axes of rotation are retained at a mid-portion of the cargo bin. Cargo retention and roll bars are removably coupled to the cargo bin, and a retractable support leg can cooperate with the wheels to stabilize the gear cart. The vehicle engaging member can comprise a receiver with a mitered end forming a shelf that can be rested on a rigid tongue of a trailer hitch adapter to permit levering of the gear cart relative to a vehicle.

    摘要: A long, thin, flexible medical apparatus, a kit including such an apparatus, and a method for employing the apparatus to assist in placing a distal portion of a lumen of a gastric tube in a stomach of a mammal. The apparatus comprises an elongate body portion, a handle portion fixed to a proximal end of the body portion, and a distal tip portion fixed to a distal end of the body portion. An ability to insert the body and distal tip portions into the gastric tube over the length of the long, thin, flexible structure provides a positive indication that the lumen is not blocked, obstructed, or otherwise compromised over that length. pH indicator sensors may be retained by the distal tip portion to exhibit a verifiable color change in response to contact with a predetermined subject fluid, such as gastric fluid, lung fluid, or another bodily fluid.
