Abstract: A system for reapplication of termiticide substance to the fill dirt underlying the foundation slab of a building at potential termite entry points is installed prior to pouring the slab. The system has a single, endless unbranched emitter circuit of apertured, flexible tubing, disposed upon the fill dirt at the perimeter edges of the slab and around the openings in the slab where bundles of utility connections penetrate the slab. The emitter circuit is fed by a redundancy of open-ended unperforated trunk lines, connected to the emitter circuit at spaced apart intervals, to equalize distribution of termiticide to all soil areas adjacent the emitter circuit, the despite possible breaks or clogging in one or more trunk lines or in the emitter circuit. The trunk lines run from the emitter circuit under the slab, are bundled, and run through a single channel drilled horizontally through a foundation block, to the outside of an exterior wall of the building.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus for use in combination with a video game having a chair for a player mounted in a structural assembly which tilts back or forth in response to pushing or pulling, respectively, on a handlebar, and which rotates horizontally in two directions in response to pedaling backwards or forwards of a cycle mechanism. The position of the chair and assembly is measured by electrical devices for utilization by a computer with video screen controlled by a video game program. The resistance encountered by the operator in pedaling and in pushing or pulling on the handlebar is variable by mechanical friction devices so that the operator may adjust the level of his or her physical exertion required to play the video game.

Abstract: An automobile trunk tie-down is constructed of a flexible strand provided with a plurality of eyelets disposed at intervals throughout its length to receive hooks mounted inside the trunk compartment and lid, so that varying lengths of strand may be selected depending upon the size of the object being transported in the automobile trunk which prevents the lid from closing over it. Automatic storage of the tie-down is provided by means of a conventional retracting reel permanently mounted within the trunk.
