Disclosed is a pontoon boat. The pontoon boat includes a deck, a pair of pontoons, an elongated channel member and a boat. The pair of pontoons is disposed on a water side portion of the deck for supporting the deck above a water level. The elongated channel member is disposed on the water side portion of the deck between the pair of pontoons. The elongated channel member is configured to have longitudinal sliding movement with respect to the water side portion of the deck. The boat includes a body portion and a pair of lip portions. The pair of lip portions is configured to be slidingly received in the elongated channel member for removably securing the boat to the water side portion of the deck.

Disclosed are systems and methods for identifying a user of a smart object inside a moving vehicle and as well as automatic detection and calculation of a time and a location when and where the vehicle has been parked. The systems and methods are capable to enable the identification of the user of an object inside a moving entity based on the orientation of the object to be localized as well as the movement direction of the moving entity.

The system disclosed is for optical coherence tomography (OCT). The system includes an improved interferometric system for metrology, detection, ranging as well as imaging system based on optical coherence tomography (OCT). Further, the method provides advancements in detection, imaging of samples in biological, medical, ophthalmic, corneal and retinal diagnosis.

The present invention is a closure for a container that includes a cover plate and a sip hole configured within the cover plate and adapted on a dispensing opening configured in the top end portion of the container. The closure further includes a reclosable lid that is hinged to the cover plate for enabling a pivotal motion of the reclosable lid. A second embodiment of the invention includes a closure with a back surface that accommodates a variety of container top and container top edge dimensions that are utilized to hold a variety of beverages, with a raised perimeter, a releasable tab, a top surface, a pair of raised notches and a pair of two receiving notches. The second embodiment also includes a dispersing aperture and an aperture filling protrusion disposed on the top surface.

Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) system and apparatus of this instant application is very useful for diagnosis and management of ophthalmic diseases such as retinal diseases and glaucoma etc. Instant innovative OCT diagnostic system leverages advancements in cross technological platforms. The Michelson interferometric system presented in this application could be used for the OCT imaging, which includes biological OCT imaging, medical OCT imaging, ophthalmic OCT imaging, corneal OCT imaging, retinal OCT imaging, and the like. A tunable filter is placed in front of the detector to make the interferometer more sensitive and accurate for examining various samples for diagnosis.

A closure for a container includes a cover plate adapted to be removably secured to a top end portion of the container and a sip hole configured within the cover plate and adapted to be positioned on a dispensing opening configured in the top end portion of the container. The closure further includes a reclosable lid comprising a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion of the reclosable lid is hinged to the cover plate for enabling a pivotal motion of the reclosable lid. The pivotal motion enables the reclosable lid to assume at least one of an open position and a closed position. The closure also includes a rubber seal configured on the second end portion of the reclosable lid, the rubber seal adapted to be received in the sip hole for sealing the sip hole in the closed position of the reclosable lid.

A projectile launching apparatus includes a bolt (for chambering a projectile) and a bolt valve with a gas passageway for communicating the gas from a chamber housing to a breech assembly. Gas received within the gas chamber is compressed by a piston and communicated through the breech assembly to a projectile. The compressed gas expands in the barrel, thereby propelling the projectile out of the barrel in a single stroke of the piston. The bolt may be returned to an initial position by a magnet and / or spring that is coupled to the valve, and the piston may be returned to an initial position by way of vacuum pressure. The bolt valve may also include a mechanical retention element such as a sear and a release pin. The sear may the bolt in a first position until the piston from the compressor has moved sufficiently to push the release pin.

A control device for controlling drainage of waste from a surgical stoma of a human body. The control device comprises a first cylindrical hollow body member, a drain tube extending from the first cylindrical hollow body member, a second cylindrical hollow body member rotatably coupled to the first cylindrical hollow body member and a knob configured on the second cylindrical hollow body member. The first cylindrical hollow body member comprises a skirt portion extending radially outward for being removably attached to a surface surrounding the surgical stoma of the human body. The second cylindrical hollow body member comprises an aperture configured on the second sidewall. A rotation of the knob is capable of aligning the aperture of the second cylindrical hollow body member with the drain tube of the first cylindrical hollow body member thereby forming a passage for draining the waste.

Disclosed is an auto racing board game comprising a foldable planar member, a plurality of toy cars, and at least one die. The foldable planar member comprises a race track imprinted thereon. The race track comprises a plurality of lanes, each of the plurality of lanes divided into a plurality of move spaces. One or more of the plurality of move spaces in each of the plurality of lanes is colored in a color of a plurality of distinct colors. The foldable planar member further comprises at least one speaker operatively coupled to a plurality of distinct colored buttons, the at least one speaker adapted to produce a distinct sound upon pressing each of the plurality of distinct colored buttons. Moreover, the foldable planar member comprises a microcontroller operatively coupled to the at least one speaker and to each of the plurality of distinct colored buttons.

A toy mailbox for children includes a storage unit and a media processing mechanism. The storage unit includes a door member for closeably opening the storage unit and an ejection slot configured on a portion of the storage unit. The media processing mechanism is coupled to the storage unit, such that the media processing mechanism is capable of dispensing a media sheet having data content printed thereon, into the storage unit through the ejection slot. Opening the storage unit enables children to access the media sheet from within the storage unit. The media processing mechanism is also capable of printing the data content on the media sheet prior to dispensing the media sheet into the storage unit.
