Abstract: A portable photo booth may be transported to various entertainment events after being disassembled into readily transportable component. The photo booth may comprise a tent-like enclosure into which 1 to 15 people may enter to be photographed. Upon arrival at an event site the enclosure may be erected and a collection of separable equipment boxes may be attached to the enclosure. The equipment boxes may contain pre-connected equipment such as a camera, a laptop computer, a monitor, a light source and a printer. After the event, the photo booth may be disassembled into readily transportable components and carried to another event.

Abstract: A beverage bottle identification system includes a set of identification tags, wherein each identification tag is formed in a hollow approximately conical shape configured to be secured along the neck of an associated beverage bottle, further wherein each of the identification tags in the set is visually distinguishable from the other identification tags in the set. In addition, the system may include a display stand including a plurality of identification tag holders adapted to store one or more sets of identification tags. At least one of the identification tag holders may include a portion shaped approximately like the neck of the associated beverage bottle.

Abstract: A wiper blade includes a first blade and a second blade surrounding the first blade, such that the first blade is not exposed for use, wherein the removal of the second blade exposes the first blade for use. In another embodiment, a wiper blade includes a body, an inner blade attached to the body, an outer blade bonded to the body or inner blade, a gripping mechanism attached to the outer blade and a removal mechanism located between the inner blade and outer blade, wherein the removal mechanism is attached to the gripping mechanism.

Abstract: A composite fastener, a belly nut, a tie system and/or a method reduce heat transfer through a building envelope. The composite fastener, the belly nut, the tie system and/or the method secure a wall to a backup structure. The composite fastener is constructed from a fiber reinforced polymer that has fibers embedded in a polymeric matrix. The composite fastener has a low thermal conductive value (k-value) and has non-corrosive properties. The belly nut has a fastening hole on a first side of the belly nut to attach the composite fastener to the belly nut. Further, the belly nut has a pathway to receive a leg of a pintle from a top surface of the belly nut to a bottom surface of the belly nut. The pathway is sized to allow for greater vertical adjustment eccentricity between the belly nut and the pintle without creating large horizontal deflections of the tie system.
