A height adjustable shower head assembly comprising a receptacle adapted for mounting to a ceiling, a reel member provided in the housing, a flexible hose having first end and second ends, the flexible hose is stored on the reel and is adapted to be vertically deployed from the reel and retracted onto the reel, the first end of the flexible hose is connected to a water supply, the second end of the flexible hose is connected to a shower head, whereby the distance of the shower head from the ceiling may be adjusted by selectively deploying or retracting the flexible hose.

RETRACTABLE LEASH WITH AUTOMATIC LOCKING AND UNLOCKING FUNCTION
20200205380 · 2020-07-02 ·

A retractable leash with automatic locking and unlocking function including a housing, a spool with a cord wound therearound, a braking means, a cord opening, a stopping means and a biasing means. A second portion of the stopping means abuts against the cord in such a way that tensioning of the cord by an external force actuates the stopping means to overcome biasing force of the biasing means to rotate to the locking position, and untensioning of the cord by the external force returns the stopping means from the locking position to the unlocking position. The present invention automatically locks the leash when the dog rushes, thus improving safety of the leash.

RETRACTOR RESTRAINT SYSTEM AND RELATED METHODS, SUCH AS FOR SECURING WHEELCHAIRS IN VEHICLES
20200197244 · 2020-06-25 ·

A retractor restraint system is provided for securing wheelchairs and/or people in vehicles. The system includes a housing, a retractor reel mounted to the housing rotatably in a positive and a negative direction of rotation for receiving a belt which can be coupled to a wheelchair, an arresting unit for arresting the reel to prevent rotation in the negative direction of rotation in an operating state of the retractor restraint system, a clamping unit arranged at the housing for releasably clamping fast the belt unwound from the reel, and a triggering mechanism for actuation of the clamping unit. The triggering mechanism is coupled to the arresting unit and the reel in such a way that the clamping unit is actuated when a torque acts on the reel in the negative direction of rotation and the reel is arrested by the arresting unit.

Adaptive training system, method and apparatus

A system and method for training a student employ a simulation station that displays output to the student and receives input. The computer system has a rules engine operating on it and computer accessible data storage storing (i) learning object data including learning objects configured to provide interaction with the student at the simulation system and (ii) rule data defining a plurality of rules accessed by the rules engine. The rules data includes, for each rule, respective (a) if-portion data defining a condition of data and (b) then-portion data defining an action to be performed at the simulation station. The rules engine causes the computer system to perform the action when the condition of data is present in the data storage. For at least some of the rules, the action comprises output of one of the learning objects so as to interact with the student. The system may be networked with middleware and adapters that map data received over the network to rules engine memory.
