| 1st Invent: | Paul A. Inglese (Naples, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | An apparatus comprises a solar panel or solar tile; and a pultrusion fiber reinforced polymer (PFRP) bracket connected to the solar panel or solar tile. The PFRP bracket mounts the solar panel or solar tile on a roof, and is configured to elevate the solar panel or solar tile a sufficient amount above the roof to enable airflow to occur under the solar panel or solar tile. The PFRP material comprises fibers embedded in a resin matrix. Exemplary fibers are glass, carbon, and synthetic fibers. PFRP products can be formed using a pultrusion method that eliminates outgassing. An intumescent fire barrier can be applied to the PFRP to meet National Fire Protection Association fire endurance codes and standards. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | A reusable snake trap assembly is an apparatus that can be used to effectively trap snakes and other unwanted critters for removal. The apparatus is designed to be continuously used to trap snakes and other critters in a safe and efficient manner. The apparatus includes a trap housing and an adhesive tray. The trap housing is a durable structure designed to attract snakes and critters by providing shelter from the weather. The trap housing is also designed to safely retain the adhesive tray to trap the snakes and critters that enter the trap housing. The adhesive tray is a disposable structure designed to trap the snakes and critters that enter the trap housing. This enables the apparatus to be used repeatedly by replacing the adhesive tray. The adhesive tray is also designed to be safely handled by the user while holding the trapped snakes and critters. |

| 1st Invent: | Christopher Sharp (Fort Myers, FL) |
| Inventors: | Genders: F=3, M=11 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | An embodiment includes a method to increase the efficiency of security checkpoint operations. A security checkpoint kiosk serves as a Relying Party System (RPS). The RPS establishes a secure local connection between the RPS and a User Mobile-Identification-Credential Device (UMD). The RPS sends a user information request to the UMD, via the secure local connection, seeking release of user information associated with a Mobile Identification Credential (MIC). The RPS obtains authentication of the user information received in response to the user information request. The RPS retrieves user travel information based on the user information. The RPS determines that the user travel information matches the user information. When the user travel information matches the user information, the RPS approves the user to proceed past the security checkpoint kiosk. |
