Abstract: A cap for modifying the contents of a container with a modifying composition. The cap system permits a user to agitate the contents of the container without spillage. A collar assembly is removably mounted to the neck of a container and an elongated plunger shank is partially housed therein with a compartment for storing the composition. Upon the application of force on the plunger shank, the foil sheet covering the bottom hits the puncturing protrusion of the activator assembly, releasing the modification composition while maintaining the container in watertight condition preventing any spillage if shaken. The seal previously achieved by the shank is not being achieved by the valve seat of the spout assembly.

Abstract: Composite Alpaca yarn and a process for making same. The composite Alpaca yarn comprises special and unique characteristics created by blending long natural irregular Camelid fibers, such as Alpaca, with short synthetic fibers, or other natural fibers, in a combination determined by homogenization of fibers. The homogenization of fibers takes into account fiber lengths for twisting them with the use of high-pressure air blown nozzles, wherein Alpaca fiber is wrapped around an internal core. The face and surface of the composite Alpaca yarn, exhibit the fine characteristics of the Camelid fibers, including thermal isolation and impermeability, along with exceptional softness, wherein the Camelid fibers can be as fine as 18 microns.

Abstract: A removable protective cover for a vehicle, comprising a plurality of separate flexible magnetic sheets. Each is specifically cut to fit over a particular magnetic body panel of a particular make and model of vehicle. The plurality of separate flexible magnetic sheets is constructed of flexible magnetically impregnated materials incorporating a flexible waterproof outer coating and a flexible solid magnetic base. The plurality of separate flexible magnetic sheets are designed in a manner that when more than one magnetic sheet is needed to cover a single body panel, they are shaped to fit in an overlapping manner whereby a first magnetic sheet is positioned closest to a front of the vehicle and overlaps a second magnetic sheet adjoining it rearward thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is a multifunction carrying case that is capable of carrying a laptop computer and converting into a laptop stand. The height of the laptop stand is telescoping, allowing for use in different situations. The case-stand combination comprises a housing similar to a hard-sided briefcase. The bottom compartment of the housing comprises a platform with a stand assembly beneath it. The stand assembly comprises a top base, telescoping risers and a bottom base. Until deployed, the bottom base is contiguous with the exterior surface of the bottom compartment. When deployed, the stand assembly is a “Z”-type shape to counterbalance the weight of the housing and a laptop computer.

Abstract: A method for sanitizing a vehicle and/or structures to proactively combat Sick Car and Sick Building Syndrome, in addition to bacteria, fungal microorganisms, viruses, mildew and mold, and any variety of organisms including Escherichia coli, urine, feces, HIV-1, blood, and many pathogenic and environmental microbial organisms from vehicles and/or structures.

Abstract: A vertical carousel for lumber that provides storage for various lengths, sizes, and grades of wood. It comprises a housing structure, a carousel assembly, a motor assembly, and first and second gear assemblies. The carousel assembly is housed within the housing structure and comprises first and second drive chains that engagingly travel upon respective pulleys. The first and second drive chains have at least one cradle that is perpendicularly disposed and fixedly secured between them. The cradle has a first end and a second end. Extending from the first end to the second end is a concave base having first and second longitudinal edges. The first and second longitudinal edges have peripheral notches to receive forks of a forklift vehicle so that lumber may be placed onto the concave base. The cradle also has spindles with means to rock while it moves with the drive chains around the carousel assembly.

Abstract: A bookmark and stand, comprising first and second flaps and a bridge assembly. The first and second flaps each comprise a wall section, a base section, and a hook section. The bridge assembly comprises a top edge, a bottom edge, and a bridge. The bridge assembly connects to rear edges. The first and second flaps have a sheet configuration and are made of a substantially rigid material to support a book when in a bookstand configuration, and also may lay flat within the book when in a bookmark configuration, whereby the first and second flaps and the bridge assembly conform to a shape of the book and are thin enough so as to not damage the book.

Abstract: An electro-magnetic internal combustion engine having means to operate in an electro-magnetic configuration, in an internal combustion configuration, and in an electro-magnetic internal combustion combination configuration.

Abstract: A fluid dispensing device, particularly suited to medicine but also having many other applications. The device selectively dispenses any of one or more fluids contained within the device. Adapters on the dispensing end of the unit permit the device to be effectively used for intra-venous, intra-dermal or intramuscular injections, gasses, colloids, gels, liquids or other fluids. Adapters on the head of the unit permit the device to be used with or without electrical power and to varying degrees of automatic control for timing, sequence, volume of fluid dispensed and other features. A preferred embodiment utilizes a pre-formatted, disposable or re-useable cartridge of several drugs suited for a particular medical purpose.

Abstract: Three-dimensional neckties have an outer layer with decorative ensembles attached to the outer layer, the decorative ensembles including additional decorative fabric pieces and other articles or trim pieces, and border stitching or embroidery stitching. The decorative fabric pieces of the decorative ensemble are attached to the outer layer only at certain points or areas so that at least a portion of the additional pieces are loosely positioned over the outer layer to accentuate the three-dimensional appearance of the necktie. In some embodiments, the decorative fabric pieces are attached to the outer layer by border stitching around an entire perimeter of the decorative fabric pieces, leaving the remainder loosely positioned over the outer layer. Trim pieces may include lace, string, hardware or other non-fabric items which are attached to the outer layer and which can be positioned over the decorative fabric pieces on the outer layer.

Abstract: An apparatus to protect a body and facial piercing and its affected area during a healing period, has a body assembly. The body assembly has top and bottom faces, an exterior wall, and an interior wall. The body assembly further defines a cavity that extends inwardly from the interior wall. A permeable cover covers the top face and the cavity to allow ambient-air to enter and circulate therethrough. This allows healing of a body or facial piercing, and specifically the opening created by the piercing, and the surrounding area around the piercing. A removable cover covers the bottom face and the cavity. The bottom face has an adhesive, and the removable cover is removably attached to the bottom face.

Abstract: An ergonomic backpack that comprises a main compartment, an elongated longitudinal curved-shaped back support, padding, and a strap assembly. The main compartment defines a substantially hollow first cavity. The elongated longitudinal curved-shaped back support has curvature areas. One curvature area complements and supports a thoracic vertebrae of a human vertebral column, and the other curvature area complements and supports a lumbar vertebrae. The padding comprises dorsal padding and lumbar padding. The dorsal padding and the lumbar padding are of a sufficient predetermined thickness to dispense pressure upon the human vertebral column. The pressure results from a force established by a weight of matter housed within the first cavity, or otherwise secured upon the main compartment. The strap assembly is fixedly secured to the main compartment and comprises shoulder straps, chest straps, and waist straps. The strap assembly also dispenses the pressure resulting from the force described above.
