Abstract: A system for screening and routing incoming phone calls or text messages that includes an interceptor device which is operatively engaged with the phone and is arranged to receive all incoming calls or texts to the phone. When an incoming call or text to the phone is received by the interceptor device, programming provided in the interceptor device compares a phone number associated with the incoming call or text with a list of stored contact phone numbers. The incoming phone call may be disconnected if the phone number associated with originating the incoming call or text fails to match any of the stored contact phone numbers. The incoming call or text is routed to a known or designated contact from the stored contact phone numbers for approval.

When an incoming call to the phone is received by the interceptor device, programming provided in the interceptor device compares a phone number associated with the incoming call with a list of stored contact phone numbers. The phone is caused to ring if the phone number associated with originating the incoming call matches one of the stored contact phone numbers. The incoming phone call is disconnected if the phone number associated with originating the incoming call fails to match any of the stored contact phone numbers. The incoming call is routed to a known or designated contact from the stored contact phone numbers.

Abstract: A packaging system for uncooked edible goods including a sheet of a baking substrate and a box for transporting the sheet and goods. The sheet has a first length and first width and the box has one or both of a second length and second width, where the second length is smaller than the first length and the second width is smaller than the first width. One or more folds in the sheet enable the sheet to be folded in order to fit into the smaller-dimensioned box. Uncooked edible goods are placed on a goods-receiving surface of the folded sheet. The box is delivered to a retailer. The folded sheet is removed from the box, is placed onto a baking pan, and is unfolded while the edible goods remain thereon. The goods are moved apart from each other, the pan is placed into an oven, and the goods are cooked.

Abstract: A system including methods and apparatus for measuring properties of a material, such as surface tension, surface energy, absorption, adsorption, permeability, porosity and printability and the like. A chemical marker containing test liquid is applied to the material and excess test liquid not retained by the material is removed. Thereafter, either the removed test liquid or the test liquid retained by the material is analyzed to determine the amount of chemical marker substance in the test liquid and, thus, the desired property of the material.

Abstract: A foodstuffs dispenser including a flexible and resilient microwavable plastic bottle having an internal cavity adapted to closely receive either a stick or block of butter, cheese or similar substantially solid or semisolid foodstuffs. To use the dispenser, a user first removes a cap from the bottle and inserts the desired foodstuffs into the cavity and replaces the cap. The dispenser is then placed in a microwave oven and heated for a time sufficient to soften or liquefy foodstuffs whereby the user may then squeeze the bottle to dispense the foodstuffs from the cap and over a food of choice.

Abstract: In a tub - shower environment comprising a tub enclosed on three sides by walls and open on the fourth side, where spray from the shower is intended to be retained within the tub - shower enclosure by a flexible shower curtain suspended from a curtain rod by hooks engaging grommet holes in the curtain and the rod, and extending across the open fourth side, between walls defining the ends of the tub - shower enclosure, there are provided mating pairs of hook-and-loop pads backed with waterproof pressure sensitive adhesive. The pads are positioned both on a vertical edge of the shower curtain and on the wall adjacent the shower curtain edge. A disposable rule is provided with means for attachment to a shower curtain hook.
