Abstract: This invention relates to racks for securely holding a variety of objects. The racks are easily mounted in the horizontal, vertical and/or diagonal positions. Moreover, the racks will rigidly hold objects of varying thickness without complicated adjustments of the contact surface area.
Abstract: An improved induction lighting system is presented where the electronic power supply device powering the induction lamp is insulated and an extensive set of heat sink fins is provided to control the temperature of the power supply. Reduction of power supply device temperature in this manner greatly extends the operational life of these devices. The improved induction lighting system is designed to be retrofitted into existing induction lighting systems, in all indoor and outdoor lighting applications.
Abstract: An improved plastic trash bag holder is presented. The invention will hold a standard t-shirt shopping bag firmly and permit the bag to be held in the hand by means of an attached handle or placed on a vertical flat surface by means of screw or other attachments mechanisms.
Abstract: What is presented is an innovative design of a chemical reactor for catalytic breakdown of halogenated hydrocarbons, the body of which acts as a specialized electromagnet capable of immobilizing and retaining very large quantities of non-magnetized ferro- dia- or para-magnetic material-containing nano, micro-, or milli-particles within it's reactor volume despite high-velocity flow of any liquid through said reactor. This is accomplished without any pre-treatment to the nanoparticles, without the use of adhesive of any sort, electroplating, electrolytic action, nano-structured nanocages, membrane or other impregnation, or any other mechanical or chemical means.
Abstract: A hanging storage system is presented with ceiling attachment strips that can be cut to fit a variety of storage spaces, that possesses attachment brackets long enough to span two or more roof support trusses, and with a C-shaped beam on its long axis designed to permit the system to carry increased weight of stored items.
Abstract: An improved exercise machine is revealed, consisting of an air spring added to standard weight training incline benches. The air spring provides positive resistance to the muscles used to push the weight up the incline. The positive resistance to movement supplied by this device has been shown to increase the strength of fast-twitch muscles when exercising.
Abstract: An improved method of attaching paper and cloth pennants and flags to automobile antennae, ropes, and the like is presented. The attachment system consists of a three-part strip of transparent adhesive material and a plastic or metal clip that are inexpensive to produce and simple to use.
