Abstract: A temperature sensitive valve includes a body having an interior area, a top end having an inlet and a lower end having an outlet. The top end is design and configured to be removably secured to an exterior faucet located for allowing water to flow when the temperatures are approaching extreme cold conditions, such as freezing, so as to prevent the pipes from freezing, and eventually bursting. Located within the body, between the inlet and outlet, is a resilient tube situated in a bent position. Affixed to the resilient tube an elongated rod fabricated from a temperature sensitive material. As temperatures approach freezing conditions, the rod will decrease in size and thus move away from the resilient tube, enabling it to move upward and thus, become slightly unbent. This will provide for an opening to exist within the bent region of the tube and enable fluid flow.

Abstract: A microphone is provided in which two circuit boards are held in spaced parallel position by each being connected at one end to a supporting member and by each resting at the other end in a pair of stabilizing grooves located within the microphone head. A battery holding assembly has attached at one end the supporting member, and at the other end an antenna mounting surface onto which a coiled antenna is placed. A battery holding compartment is located between the supporting member and the antenna so that a battery held in the compartment acts as an addition to the antenna itself. A power and battery level indicator flashes on and off to warn that the charge of the battery is reaching a predetermined low point. The electronic circuitry for the indicator is also provided.
