Abstract: An hand held implement which includes an integral preprogrammed electronic calculator. The implement is preset to perform one or more calculations which utilize known scientific formulas and mathematical relationships and which rely upon specific variables for which values are input by the user through the use of the various input command control devices and may be reused for further serial calculations. By preprogramming the implement with the related formulas for a given field of technology, the user may perform one or even a series of related and useful calculations without the need for any additional calculators, charts, tables or other printed materials. The surfaces on the implement may also be used for the imprinting of graphical or advertising material for the purpose of advertising or promotion.

Abstract: A device housing with a generally semicircular clip assembly for attaching the device housing to a cylindrical object, for example tubing, is disclosed. The clip assembly includes a helical coil spring for biasing the generally semicircular clip against the device housing. In the preferred embodiment, a timekeeping device is incorporated within the device housing. The device housing with timekeeping device may be securely clipped to stethoscope tubing. Also disclosed in the present invention is an inexpensive method of placing multicolor advertising upon a device housing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a mirrored document holder including a supporting arm, whereby the invention functions as a document holder, a mounted mirror, and an advertising vehicle. The document holder includes a copyholder with spring biased plates and a mirror included on at least one of the plates. A plate may be sized to allow placement of advertising indicia in addition to supporting the document in place in a breezy environment. The present invention further includes a flexible supporting arm with joints that are, while flexible, capable of firmly supporting heavy documents. The document holder of the present invention may, for example, be mounted on a computer monitor or a dashboard.

Abstract: A portable hand-held device for producing output values, such as body mass index calculations, has a hand-holdable housing that includes a memory unit storing a pre-defined non-linear algorithm. A processing unit located in the housing applies the algorithm to input values selected by an input means on the housing, and produces output values via an output means on the housing. The range of selectable input values is pre-defined and is assignable to variables for applying the algorithm. Advertising indicia may be imprinted on the housing, and the housing may be attached to external devices. Optionally, a timing unit, such as a countdown timer, may be included.

Abstract: A compact multifunction pedometer and advertising means includes a computerized calculating function to accurately determine the calorie consumption, distance and the time for exercise duration. Utilizing input data of the user's height, weight, average stride and desired time period for exercise of walking or running, the pedometer calculates, and if desired displays, the consumed calories as well as the distance traveled and lapsed time of striding or alternatively, the time remaining for a scheduled walking or running session. The calories burned during exercise are accurately determined through calculations based on the individual's stride and weight data input by the user. The pedometer is extremely compact, has easy to operate function controls and may include a belt clip for ease of use during exercise. The pedometer including surfaces suitable for displaying advertising.
