A multi-function carrier carries a pet and holds litter. The multi-function carrier includes a primary enclosure and a waste collection assembly. The primary enclosure carries the pet. The waste collection assembly is operatively connected to the primary enclosure and holds the litter.

A mold assembly for manufacturing ophthalmic lenses which comprises an anti-tilt feature that prevent relative movement of one half of the mold assembly relative to the other half of the mold assembly. The anti-tilt feature ensures that the edges of the ophthalmic lenses are symmetric around their periphery.

Reduced-tilt back plastic feature for a contact lens mold

The present invention provides molds useful in contact lens production, which molds incorporate a centering and spacing feature in the form of tabs on one of the mold halves. The spacing feature both centers the mold halves in relationship to each other and permits free flow of excess monomer from the mold. Additionally, the spacing feature aids in height control of the one mold half in relation to the other mold half.

Molds for use in contact lens production

A model for testing contact lens designs is used in applications such as methods for designing contact lenses in which one subjects a lens design to the model, determines whether the lens meets its design objectives by application of the model, keeps the lens design if it does, and modifies the lens design if it does not.

A prefabricated shearwall including a central diaphragm having a height generally defined by top and bottom edges, and a width generally defined by a pair of end sections. The diaphragm further includes at least one corrugation extending in the height direction at least partially between the top and bottom edges. The corrugation increases the ductility and ability of the shearwall to withstand lateral forces such as those generated in earthquakes, high winds, floods and snow loads.

Corrugated shearwall

The invention provides methods for designing contact lenses in which method the lens flexure is taken into account. The method of the invention is insensitive to the lens' back surface design and does not require complex back surface designs. Additionally, the lens design can be optimized virtually, eliminating the need for iterative design-test on-eye-re-design cycles.

Contact lenses and methods for their design

A method for designing contact lenses is provided in which direct correlation is made between an individual's subjective assessment of the lens' performance with the objective measurement of one or both of on-eye lens position and eyelid movement. The method permits generation of lens designs that have enhanced on-eye stability in less time than conventional design methods.

Method for evaluating eyelid movement and contact lens position

An ophthalmic lens design and modeling system comprises a user interface providing functionality for generating a template associated with a desired lens design to be manufactured, the template comprising design information sufficient for generating three-dimensional (3D) models of lens, and 3D models of associated components required for lens manufacture in an ophthalmic lens manufacturing system. The system further includes functionality for generating and/or specifying linking information, via the user interface, that governs the physical behavior of lens design features included in said template in accordance with one or more process parameters affecting lens manufacture and manufacture of associated components in an ophthalmic lens manufacturing system. The use of the template and design and linking information therein thus facilitates rapid lens modeling and lens manufacturing operations with greater accuracy, thereby reducing lens design build and test (DBT) cycle time.

A hanging plant apparatus has a conical mesh sleeve with a rigid ring in the upper margin. Suspending elements are attached to the ring and extend upward for hanging the apparatus. The lower margin has a drawstring element in the hem. The lower margin of the sleeve is slipped over the upper rim of a conventional rigid plant pot and the drawstring element pulled tight to attach the pot to the bottom of the sleeve. The drawstring element is comprised of one or more plastic cable ties. When the sleeve and pot are filled with plant growth media, holes are cut into the mesh through which various plants can be inserted to-provide a unique hanging plant container with multiple plants growing out of the cone at various levels.

A leg exercise device that is replaceably attachable to an open door that includes a first generally L-shaped assembly abuttable against a first side of the open door and a free vertical edge of the open door, a second generally L-shaped assembly, abuttable against a second opposing side of the open door and overlapping a part of the first generally L-shaped assembly, width maintaining apparatus to maintain the first generally L-shaped assembly abuttable against the first side of the open door and the second generally L-shaped assembly abuttable against the second opposing side of the open door, a first flat, vertically-oriented, forwardly-facing, and inverted J-shaped height adjusting arm hookable on, and suspendable from, a doorknob on the first side of the open door, first height maintaining apparatus to maintain the first generally L-shaped assembly a predetermined distance below the doorknob on the first side of the open door, a second flat, vertically-oriented, forwardly-facing, and inverted J-shaped height adjusting arm hookable on, and suspendable from, a doorknob on the second opposing side of the open door, second height maintaining apparatus to maintain the second generally L-shaped assembly a predetermined distance below the doorknob on the second opposing side of the open door, and a pedal assembly rotatively attached to the second generally L-shaped assembly.

Exercise leg device

A tape storage cabinet which can be detachably mounted under the dash of a vehicle and which has a pair of cover members that can be opened so that tapes can be removed or stored. An insert member adapts the cabinet to cassettes and can be removed completely or partially to adapt the cabinet to cartridges.

Tape storage cabinet

Disclosed is a manual, disposable sandpaper device. Cut and formed from a single blank of cardboard, a rectangular member is creased to be folded upon itself to form a rigid member with two free surfaces. Adhered to one surface is a sheet of sandpaper. Cut into the upper member is an integrally formed pair of tabs joined at a common, centrally disposed crease line.
