Abstract: Managing information related to an entity. The method includes storing a cache of data particular to an entity. The cache of data is related to the entity and controlled by the entity. The data in the cache of data is organized into a number of distinct subject matters. Access is provided to a portion of the data to a third party. Access is provided based on the third party being a service provider providing services related to the one of the distinct subject matters. Access is provided while restricting access to other portions of the data to the third party. Additional data is received from the third party. The additional data is added from the third party to the cache of data and the additional data is organized into the one of the distinct subject matters such that the additional data is also related to and controlled by the entity.

Abstract: The present invention provides for various embodiments of a hand covering and garment combination. The hand covering and garment combination includes at least one glove and a garment having at least one sleeve. A compartment can be located within an inner liner of the sleeve. The compartment can be configured to selectively receive and store the glove. An attachment element can be configured to selectively secure the glove to the sleeve. The attachment element can have a first end attached to the sleeve and a second end attached to a fastener. The fastener can selectively fasten and unfasten the glove to the attachment element. Finally, a retractable dial can be coupled to the sleeve, wherein a portion of the attachment element travels through the retractable dial. The retractable dial can be configured to selectively retract at least a portion of the first end of the attachment element.

Abstract: Audio systems are disclosed and include audio docking stations, adapters for connecting to audio docking stations, electronic devices equipped with audio components, and non-electronic articles enabled for use with audio components. An audio docking station may include one or more earphones and an audio input. The earphones and/or audio input may be wireless or include retractable wires. An adapter may act as a sound pouch to connect to the audio docking station. The adapter may be located in clothing, furniture, electronic devices, protective covers or cases, or in other locations. An electronic device may also act as a docking station and include earphones and/or an audio input. Cavities may be pre-formed in the housing of the electronic device for storage of earphones and/or an audio input.

Abstract: A planter is fabricated to be suspended from a wall, window, or other partition. The planter generally includes a planter element for holding a flower or plant, a planter casing which supports the planter element, and a suspension member for mounting the planter to the partition. The planter casing is open on top to allow planter elements to be placed therein, and has perforated sides which allow visual inspection of the contents within the sides. The planter may also have two or more recessed portions in which the planters can be positioned. The recessed portions can be parallel may have a saddlebag appearance. The suspension member may partially separate the recessed portions, and allow some overlap between the recessed portions. Dual-function elements may also be added to provide structural and ornamental features to the planter casing, and may further be selectively added to complement decorative features of the partition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems for music display and collaboration. In one exemplary embodiment of the invention, a tablet computer includes a first display unit with a front surface, a display device mounted in the front surface, and a first back surface. The tablet computer also includes a second display unit with a front surface, a display device mounted in the front surface, and a back surface. Finally, the tablet computer also includes a hinging assembly coupling the first display unit to the second display unit. The hinging assembly defining an axis of rotation that allows each display unit to rotate about 360° around the axis of rotation with respect to the other display unit.

Abstract: The present invention provides for various embodiments of a combined garment and earphones. The combined garment and earphones includes a garment having a series of elongate internal passageways. Partially enclosed within the series of elongate internal passageways is a conductive wire assembly. The conductive wire assembly includes a first length of wire leading to at least one earpiece having a transducer for emitting audio into a user's ear, and a second length of wire leading to a connector configured to be communicatively coupled to an audio device. Finally, a retractable dial is coupled to the garment, wherein a portion of the conductive wire assembly travels through the retractable dial. The retractable dial is configured to selectively retract at least a portion of the first end of the conductive wire assembly.
