A “Spatial Navigator” provides a document navigation environment that leverages user spatial memory. Graphical thumbnail-type representations (“thumbnails”) provide scaled versions of entire documents. Changes to documents are immediately reflected in corresponding thumbnails. Similarly, document search results are highlighted in corresponding thumbnails. One or more dynamic document selection windows present arrangements of a plurality of these thumbnails for user selection and interaction. Each dynamic document selection window provides real-time inter-file navigation by allowing user selection and opening of documents, or any location or portion of a document, through user interaction with the corresponding thumbnail. Once a document is opened, intra-file navigation is enhanced by providing another scaled version of the entire document in a dynamic scrollbar adjacent to a primary document editing / viewing window. Selection of any point within this scrollbar-based thumbnail causes an immediate jump to the corresponding document location in the primary document editing / viewing window.

An battery end cap is disclosed for limiting current flow of a battery. The battery end cap includes a cap terminal, the cap terminal comprising an external conductive surface and an internal conductive surface. The battery end cap further includes a pressure sensitive switch, wherein when the battery end cap is installed on a battery, the pressure sensitive switch is configured to bias the internal conductive surface of the cap terminal from being in electrical communication with an electrical source of the battery. Electrical communication between the cap terminal and the electrical source is created or maintained when a sufficient external pressure is applied to the battery end cap and electrical contact between the cap terminal and the internal electrical source is broken without the sufficient external pressure.

A carbon foam article useful for, inter alia, composite tooling or other high temperature applications, which includes a carbon foam having a ratio of compressive strength to density of at least about 7000 psi / g / cc.

A vented toilet system for use in a residential or commercial building. The vented toilet system comprises a toilet bowl and a vent cavity arranged adjacent to a top surface of the bowl. The system also comprises a water cavity arranged adjacent to and directly below the vent cavity. The system comprises a seat arranged on a top surface of the bowl and a toilet tank connected to the bowl. The system also comprises a wireless motion detection unit arranged adjacent to the toilet bowl, such that the operation of the vacuum pump is automatic. The wireless motion sensor may allow the vacuum pump to turn on immediately and remain on during duration of use of the toilet by the user. The vented toilet system also comprises a pipe or tube connected to the vent cavity, the pipe passes through either an existing wall or other structure to a vacuum pump and then to the outside of the structure in which the toilet is located.

An energy independent dry corn fractionation ethanol production system which utilizes at least one product of a dry corn fractionation process as fuel to generate power for the production of ethanol. Specifically, power production devices and methods of generating power from dry corn fractionation products for the production of ethanol.

A magnetic transmission having an input shaft and an output shaft with two or more gear assemblies, each gear assembly having an input sprocket affixed to the input shaft, an output armature with peripheral electromagnets affixed to the output shaft, a transfer drum concentric with the output armature and having electromagnets inset from the inside surface of the transfer drum and a drum sprocket on the periphery of the transfer drum, and a transfer chain engaging the input sprocket and the drum sprocket. A gear assembly actuator is used to select and energize a desired gear assembly. A hysteresis clutch can also be used in lieu of the output armature and the transfer drum.

A universally shaped puzzle piece is provided that may mate with any side of a puzzle piece having the same universal shape. Instead of placing a portion of an overall puzzle image on the universally shaped puzzle piece, indicia related to a theme are placed on one side. The other side of the puzzle piece may be customizable to a user such that an infinite number of the universally shaped puzzle pieces may be customized and fit together to form a puzzle with a unique image. Thus, puzzle pieces may be distributed to individuals at a public event so that a puzzle is created that represents the overall theme of the event.

Disclosed is a sports themed pants belt and method of construction, comprising an elongated length of material, belt buckle, belt end, and belt keeper. The length of material comprises a first and second end, while the belt material is one derived from or covered by the outer covering of the athletic ball of the sports theme. The belt first end connects to the belt buckle, which includes an outward surface having a sports character, team logo or similar indicia thereon related to the overall theme. The belt keeper is further related to the overall theme, providing a view of the field of play or specific equipment of the sport, while the belt second end terminates at a representation of the related sports ball. Several embodiments are disclosed, the goal being to utilize the sports athletic gear and equipment for the given sport as a means to construct the belt.

A reinforced carbon foam material is formed from carbon fibers incorporated within a carbon foam's structure. First, carbon fiber bundles are combined with a liquid resol resin. The carbon fiber bundles separate into individual carbon fiber filaments and disperse throughout the liquid resol resin. Second, the carbon fiber resin mixture is foamed thus fixing the carbon fibers in a permanent spatial arrangement within the phenolic foam. The foam is then carbonized to create a carbon fiber reinforced foam with improved graphitic characteristics as well as increased strength. Optionally, various additives can be introduced simultaneously with the addition of the carbon fiber bundles into the liquid resol, which can improve the graphitic nature of the final carbon foam material and / or increase the foam's resistance to oxidation.

The embodiment of the invention discloses an express cabinet using method and device based on a blockchain, a server and a storage medium. The method comprises the steps of constructing a block chainnetwork based on multiple express cabinets; based on the blockchain network, operating a mining program by the plurality of express cabinets within a preset time; obtaining a first-generation cabinetcoin by each express cabinet according to an operation result of a mining program of the express cabinet; generating a second generation cabinet coin based on the first generation cabinet coin; determining the use frequency of the express cabinet by the user; allocating second-generation cabinet coins to the user based on the use times; and storing the number of the second-generation cabinet coinsallocated by the user to the blockchain network. According to the method of the invention, the naturally distributed express delivery cabinets are utilized to construct the block chain network for mining, so that the express delivery cabinets can be made in idle time, the development of normal services of the express delivery cabinets is not influenced, the waste of express delivery cabinet resources is avoided, and the utilization rate of the express delivery cabinets is improved; and the user is prompted to use the express cabinet more actively, and application and popularization of the express cabinet are facilitated.
