Abstract: The present invention relates to a tattoo device having a single DC coil with a pulse width modulation (PWM) circuit to control when the single DC coil is energized. Such arrangement eliminates the need for a set screw as in traditional tattoo machines and allows for a lighter device having fewer vibrations, better balance, and improved precision when being used.

Abstract: The present invention includes a toothbrush having a handle attached to a head. The head may rotate positions relative to the handle to improve brushing of both teeth and tongue of a user.
Abstract: The invention is a beverage cup tote to be carried on the forearm or with the hand. The construct has an enlarged first end attached with bridge section to an enlarged second end. There is a first hole in the first enlarged end, and a second hole in a second enlarged end. The holes may be rectangular or round to receive typical food containers or beverage cups. The bridge section has either symmetrical or asymmetrical quarter circle trimmings. A pair of constructs maybe affixed with each other with a pin clip, glue, or staples to produce a generally X shaped combination construct. The beverage cup totes may be manufactured as a combination construct by the manufacturer to produce a strengthened unit, or manufactured as a generally X shaped combination construct unit with cup openings on each branch. The process of using the invention is described.
Abstract: The present invention is a device for cutting solid medications, whether in the form of capsules, tablets or pills. When cutting capsules, the capsules are retained to be divided by a first blade. Tablets and other forms of the medication are retained by pill stabilizers and cut by a second blade. The device also may have a pill crusher and a section to hold whole or divided medications.
Abstract: The present invention is a method for euthanizing animals humanely and painlessly by introducing a gas at a first flow rate to cause the animals to reach narcosis. Then, the gas is introduced at an elevated second flow rate to induce a death to the animal that substantially meets or exceeds national and international standards for euthanasia.
Abstract: The present invention includes a high voltage transformer and high voltage inductor having a high resistivity magnetic core and multiple secondary windings without needing insulation between the high resistivity core and multiple secondary windings.
Abstract: The present invention includes a transportable container for organizing various hand tool attachments. The transportable container has a handle, raised periphery edges, cavities for individually storing and retaining hand tool attachments, and one or more labels. The hand tool attachments are arranged in an order based on incremental shape, size, drive size, or a combination thereof. The one or more labels identifying the shape, size, drive size, or a combination thereof of an individualized hand tool attachment position within the container.
Abstract: The present invention involves a method of securing an exercise device having an elongated base member with a linear track on a topside of the elongated base member to conventional exercise machine in order to exercise multiple muscle groups at once. A slidable body moves within the one or more linear tracks of the exercise device. The slidable body is attached to a pole to be gripped while exercising.
Abstract: The present invention includes a front fork assembly for a cycle. The assembly includes a steering tube, front furcations fixed to the steering tube, and a drop-out bracket device fixed to a distal end of each front furcation. The drop-out bracket device has a tubular member having multiple drop-out brackets directed towards a front side of the cycle, a back side of the cycle, or both. Each drop-out bracket has a substantially planar fastening member and an opening.
Abstract: The present invention is a multi-disc spinning assembly for a bicycle having a narrow flange hub, a first disc, a second disc and a set of bearings. The narrow flange hub supports a wheel. The first disc comprises a series of brackets around the periphery of a backside of the first disc for mounting the first disc to a rim of the wheel; and one or more openings. The second disc is located between the first disc and a flange of the narrow flange hub. The set of bearings connects to the second disc and the narrow flange hub, such that the set of bearings allows the second disc to rotate in a single direction at a velocity independent of the wheel velocity after maximum velocity of the wheel has been attained.
Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for euthanizing animals humanely and painlessly by introducing a gas at a first flow rate to cause the animals to reach narcosis. Then, the gas is introduced at an elevated second flow rate to induce a death to the animal that substantially meets or exceeds national and international standards for euthanasia.
Abstract: A multipurpose cooler for storing and transporting items includes a cooler body having an insulated interior and an exterior; a lid connected to the cooler body to permit selective access to the interior; a basket having three walls and a bottom and being slidably connected to the cooler body to slide between a fully extended position forming, with the cooler body, a basket cavity for storing and transporting items and a fully retracted position wherein the basket cavity is substantially nonexistent.
Abstract: The present invention is a high voltage power converter having primary and secondary winding sets in a single planar layer stacked in increasing voltage and arranged without the use of a conductor. Substantially no AC stress exists between winding sets.
Abstract: The present invention describes a synthetic turf having super absorbent materials in order to keep the synthetic turf cooler than conventional synthetic turfs.
Abstract: Liquid phase liquid crystal polymers (LCPs) are disclosed having a composition and structure that can be varied to provide desirable properties. The liquid phase LCPs have polyiminoborane, polyaminoborane, and/or borozine polymer backbone molecules, with silicon and/or phosphorous side chain molecules linked to the backbone that provide a degree of alignment assigned an Order Parameter (S), defined as S=? [3 cos2 ??1], where ? is the angle between the axis of an LCP molecule and the vertical direction. The inventive liquid phase LCPs have an average Order Parameter in the range of about 0.2 to about 0.99 and are applicable to a number of rinse, coolant, lubricant, sterilization and other protectant processes.
Abstract: The present invention involves an exercise device having an elongated base member with a linear track on a topside of the elongated base member. A slidable body moves within the one or more linear tracks. The slidable body is attached to a pole to be gripped while exercising.
Abstract: The invention relates to a template for determining the shape and size construction materials should be cut to substantially match an irregularly shaped area to be covered by the construction materials. The template is a single layer material having lines that permit snapping off parts of the template without a cutting instrument. The template also has pegs on periphery edges of the template to assist in positioning the template. The invention also relates to a method of installing construction materials into an irregularly shaped area with the template.
