Abstract: A privacy device for use with an individual chair or seating arrangement. The privacy device has a pivotal interior lid that will allow the individual to have a visual and audio barrier while being seated in the chair. The lid can be held in various positions without the use of extraneous locking members.

Abstract: A method and transmission system for amplifying and providing navigation signals. The system comprises a splitter circuit configured to receive a plurality of radio frequency (RF) signals oscillating at at least two different frequencies f1 and f2. The splitter circuit is further configured to split and forward the RF signals having the f1 frequency to a first bandpass filter and the RF signals having the f2 frequency to a second bandpass filter. The system further comprises a first tunable amplifier configured to receive the RF signals from the first bandpass filter. The system further comprises a second tunable amplifier configured to receive the RF signals from the second bandpass filter at substantially the same time as the first tunable amplifier's receipt of the RF signals from the first bandpass filter. The first tunable amplifier is further configured to amplify its RF signals across a first band centered around the frequency f1.

Abstract: A direct digital synthesis transmitter that uses a programmable digital circuit to generate a digital signal representing at least one radio frequency signal, the generated signal is filtered, amplified by an amplifier, and provided to a transmission antenna without upconversion. The transmitter generating the digital signal at a desired output frequency range such that a frequency upconverter is not needed to produce signals in the desired radio frequency range.

Abstract: A laundry article of manufacture is described that may be used to both wash and condition fabrics when used sequentially first in the washer and then carried along with the wet fabrics into the dryer. The laundry article preferably comprises at least one detergent and at least one softener composition each solidified into geographical zones onto a nonwoven substrate. The optimized article comprises a nonwoven substrate with sidedness, and although the softener composition is solidified within the fibers of the lofted side of the substrate, the softener is unexpectedly found to subsequently express out from the flat side of the substrate while in the heated clothes dryer.

Abstract: A vapor-dispersing device is described that comprises a pressurizable vessel with at least one opening equipped with a pressure-responsive valve that controllably releases vapor in bursts when the vessel is heated through a controlled heating means.

Abstract: A composition for pretreating stains and/or soils on fabric articles and other launderable textiles before laundering is provided. The composition includes a cleaning component and at least one foaming agent. In addition, the composition optionally includes water, at least one enzyme, and at least one antiredeposition agent.

Abstract: The invention consists of a device to retrofit existing mop/bucket/wringer combinations so that the mop remains stable and upright in the bucket when not in use. The device has a clip portion that is dimensioned and configured to attach to the lip of the wringer and a second portion designed to retain the mop handle, the second portion having springy or spring-loaded retainers. In use, the device attaches to the lip of the wringer and then the mop is put into the bucket (not the wringer) and the handle of the mop is inserted into the spring loaded retainers. The device may sit on the bucket lip instead of the wringer by different dimensions and configuration, or may be built into the bucket or wringer.
