Abstract: A repellent assembly has a light socket connector, a heating receptacle that selectively connects to a replaceable repellent pod that is selectively heated to disperse repellent from the repellent pod, and a remote controlled switch interposing the light socket connector and the heating receptacle to power the heating receptacle on and off.

Abstract: A system includes a first power cord and at least one heated repellant dispersal unit electrically connected to the first power cord that increases an evaporation rate of a repellant within the heated repellant dispersal unit.

Abstract: At least one light socket is electrically connected to a power cord and at least one heated repellant dispersal unit is electrically connected to the power cord and increases an evaporation rate of a repellant drawn by a wick from a fluid pod affixed to the heated repellant dispersal unit.

Abstract: A case for securely transporting high-value consumer goods includes a case body having a main cavity within which the high-value consumer goods may be stored for transporting and a lid including a door. The case body has installed or formed thereon a first linking mechanism portion and the lid has installed or formed thereon a second linking mechanism portion that interacts with the first linking mechanism portion to link and unlink the lid to the case body. The door, when closed, covers the first linking mechanism portion and the second linking mechanism portion and, when open, exposes at least one of the first linking mechanism portion and the second linking mechanism portion such that linking and unlinking of the lid to the case body is possible only when the door is open.

Abstract: A hair styling apparatus includes a top arm and a bottom arm each having a handle end and a tip end opposite the handle end. The top arm and the bottom arm are rotatably connected at the handle ends for relative movement from an open position to a closed position. The apparatus also includes a top plate disposed on the top arm adjacent the top arm's tip end and having a top main surface, and a bottom plate disposed on the bottom arm adjacent the bottom arm's tip end and having a bottom main surface that, in the closed position, contacts the top main surface, the top main surface and the bottom main surface complementarily curve as they extend away from the handle end towards the tip end.
