Apparatus and methods facilitate analysis of events associated with a plurality of computer systems. Event occurrence items are compared with event rules of event rule sets associated with each computer system to determine whether the items are potentially significant as determined by matching with the event rule sets. A scorer associated with each computer system assigns a score to each event occurrence item to provide a relative indication of the potential significance of the event occurrence item. An interface is used to query the scored event occurrence items from each of the plurality of computer systems.

A device for a plug in vehicle includes a cord with a ball-like covering that allows it to be dropped. The cord bounces when dropped, and no damage is caused. There is also an electrical actuator that is based on when the vehicle is in a mode that allows it to be charged. When the vehicle is in the charge mode, the actuator either magnetically attracts the cord, or tightens against the cord to hold it more tightly If the vehicle is put in reverse, for example, the actuator is deenergized, and the cord is less tightly held, facilitating its disconnection.

A trimmer blade assembly comprising a blade within a housing is provided. The housing includes a wall for propelling cut vegetation away from the blade assembly. The blade assembly may also include a ridge on the housing for further propulsion of cut vegetation away from the trimmer blade. The present blade cuts vegetation more efficiently since cut vegetation will generally be propelled away from the blade by the perpendicular wall and ridge.

A method of selectively treating microbiological pathogens which are implicated in the advancement of periodontitis is disclosed. Preferably, the microbiological pathogens are phorphyromonas gingivalis (Pg) and prevotella intermedia (Pi) which are known to colonize in dental plaque, cementum, gingival sulcus epithelium and surrounding periodontal tissues. The microbiological pathogens can also include pigmented fungi such as Histoplasma and Aspirgillus Niger. The microbiological pathogens are selectively irradiated with high-energy antiseptic laser pulses which are strongly absorbed by the microbiological pathogens and which are substantially transparent to the periodontal tissues. Preferably, high-energy antiseptic laser pulses eradicate a portion of the microbiological pathogens within the periodontal tissues without requiring aggressive debridement procedures.

The present invention is an arthropod trap including a housing and containment chamber. The housing includes external openings, an overhang, and an internal tube and plate with entry ports. Attracted by bait in the containment chamber, arthropods fly in through the external openings, and then travel through the entry ports in the plate into the containment chamber. Alternatively, arthropods can directly enter the containment chamber through optional entry ports. The containment chamber can be a box or other rigid container, or a bag. This trap can be used to contain or monitor the populations of many different types of flying arthropods, including but not limited to flies, wasps, and yellow jackets.

A concrete block lifting device used to lift at least two blocks off a pallet for repositioning on a wall. The device includes a rigid, horizontal, support bar with a block gripping assembly attached thereto designed to selectively attach to blocks on a pallet and then securely engage the blocks when the device is lifted by the backhoe. The block gripping assembly includes a insert member perpendicularly aligned and extending downward from the support bar. Mounted pivotally on each insert member is an actuator arm. The upper end of the actuator arm is pivotally connected to a linking arm and a release handle. The upper ends of two linking arms converge and attach to a central plate. A cable connects the central plate to a bucket on a backhoe. When the central plate is lifted, the linking arms force the upper end of the actuator arms inward which forces the lower ends of the actuator arm outward to engage the inside wall of a central hole formed on the block.

A trimmer head for use with rotary vegetation cutting devices is disclosed. The head has a wear guide that indicates when the body of the trimmer head is worn down and needs replacement. In an embodiment of the invention, the body comprises two plates that are molded to fit together. The plates have bores for holding connecting pins. The connecting pins not only hold the plates together, but also pivotably support cutting blades, by fitting into openings in the blades.

A multiple block lifting device that includes two support arms pivotally connected at the opposite ends enabling the support arms to move from a closed, parallel configuration to an open, linear configuration. Attached to each arm is at least one block attachment unit that selectively connects to one block. In the preferred embodiment, the movement of the support arms and each block attachment unit is controlled by hydraulic cylinders and a main control valve. When paired blocks are aligned on a pallet, the device is in a closed, parallel configuration, and each block lifting unit engages a block. The device is then lifted and the support arms are aligned in the open, linear configuration. Each arm may include an optional extension arm that enables the device to lift additional blocks.

A cart has a collapsible frame which is foldable into a closed position for forming a narrow lateral profile and unfoldable into an unfolded open position. The frame has two support members. Each support member has a pair of legs extending downwardly from its opposite ends and a side arm extending between two of the legs on each opposite lateral side of the frame for securing the frame in the unfolded open position with the support members spaced apart. The side arms have hinges for folding the arms relative to a support member. A foldable tray interconnects the legs of the frame for forming a platform adjacent the bottom of the cart. Upon folding of the cart, the tray folds and the cart collapses into the closed position with the support members drawn together into close proximity to each other.

A device used to simultaneously lift three concrete blocks from a pallet using a backhoe or crane and reposition them for exact placement on a wall. The device comprises a lifting bar that is suspended in a horizontally aligned position from a cable or chain connected to the shovel or hook on a backhoe or crane, respectively. Extended downward from the lifting bar are three block lifting assemblies. Each block lifting assembly includes two connecting rods that fit into vertically aligned holes formed on the concrete blocks. Each connecting rod is pivotally connected at its upper end to a short segment of chain or cable which pivotally connects to a rigid transfer plate. Each assembly also includes two long segments that pivotally connect to the upper edge of the transfer plate. The upper ends of the two long segments are spaced apart and pivotally connected to the lifting bar so that the long segments converge and are aligned diagonally when the connecting rods are placed inside the holes. Each connecting rod is sufficient in diameter to slide vertically into the hole, yet includes a plurality of optional outer ribs that press against the hole and prevent their removal from the holes when the transfer plate is raised thereby placing lateral force on each connecting rod. When the blocks are properly positioned on the wall, the lift bar is lowered so that lateral pressure exerted by connecting rods on the sides of the holes is reduced thereby enabling the connecting rods to be easily removed manually therefrom.

A lifting device that simultaneously lifts a plurality of retaining wall blocks initially oriented in a triangular configuration on a pallet and allows them to be easily realigned in a linear configuration on a retaining wall. The lifting device comprises two pivoting lateral extending side arms with clamping units attached to their distal ends. Attached to the main planar frame is a central clamping unit. Each clamping unit includes an insert member that inserts into a large, vertically aligned hole formed in the block. When the clamping units are inserted into the hole and activated, three triangularly aligned sets of blocks on a pallet may be lifted. The side arms are designed to pivot rearward so that the front surfaces of the blocks are longitudinally aligned and the blocks are positioned in a side-by-side manner. Once properly realigned, the lifting device is lowered so that the three blocks are simultaneously placed over the top row of the retaining wall. The gripping members are then relaxed so that the blocks are released. The side arms then automatically align in their original positions so that they may be used to connect to another set of triangularly aligned blocks on the pallet.

Multiple building block lifting device

A movable cart having a collapsible frame with the frame being foldable into a collapsed or closed position for forming a narrow lateral profile and into an unfolded open position adapted to support a removable storage container. The frame comprises support members with each support member having a pair of legs extending downwardly from its opposite ends and a side arm extending between two of the legs on each opposite lateral side of the frame for securing the frame in the unfolded open position with the support members physically spaced apart to support the removable storage container. The side arms have hinges for folding the arms about a common plane lying in substantial parallel alignment with each support member. The frame also has a tray interconnecting the legs of the frame for forming a level platform adjacent the bottom end of the cart. The tray is foldable into substantially the same common plane into which the side arms fold so that upon folding the arms and tray, the cart collapses into the closed position with each of the support members drawn together into close proximity relative to one another.
