Abstract: Changes in trading trends are indicated. An indicator, such as a bar, is displayed adjacent to the trend line. The indicator persists the trend to a greater extent than the trend line. As the trend line changes, the indicator more gradually changes or does not change. The difference in values, such as slope of the indicator relative to the trend line, indicates the change in trend.

Abstract: A grout sealer applicator increases efficiency in applying sealer to grout. A strip or patch of material for releasably holding sealer is adapted to be held on a finger. For example, the material is bonded to a rubber or plastic sleeve. As another example, the material forms a band around a finger.

Abstract: A framework removal tool is provided. A lever arm connects to a rounded extension. The lever arm is rotated to remove a stake or pry away framework. The rounded extension has a width wider than the bar. The rounded extension provides broad support for rotating the lever arm without damaging any concrete. A notch is provided in the rounded extension. The notch comprises an aperture along the width of the hollow cylinder shaped extension. The notch contacts framework or stakes for removal from set concrete. The framework is placed within the notch for removal.

Abstract: A framework removal tool method is provided. The tool comprises a first side of a stake contact element including first and second notches with first and second dimensions, respectively. A lever arm connects to the stake contact element. One of the first or second notches is selected based on a dimension of a stake. The selected notch is placed adjacent the stake. The lever arm is rotated to remove the stake. In another embodiment, a second tool for removing stakes is provided. The tool includes a bar with a nail removal notch on a first end, and a stake contact element connected to the bar near the first end. The stake contact element includes at least a first stake notch on a first side. A rounded extension rigidly connects to the bar near the first end.

Abstract: A compactor comprises a body having a connector side and a compacting side. A lip extends from the compacting side. The lip forms and at least partially surrounds a cavity on the compacting side. Finally, a connector is provided on the connector side. A handle connects to the connector, and the cavity has a v-shape surface structure. The user grasps the handle and repeatedly lowers the compactor to compact the debris.

Abstract: An apparatus for cleanly and easily removing nails from drywall has a shaft portion with a narrowing portion having a first end attached to the shaft portion and a second end having a width narrower than the width of the narrowing portion first end. The narrowing portion and the shaft portion, in combination, are substantially flat. A prong is placed at an angle to the narrowing portion on the narrowing portion second end, and the prong has a width similar to the narrowing portion second end. Further, a radius portion near the shaft portion first end extends from the shaft portion or narrowing portion. The radius portion has a width similar to the narrowing portion first end and is rounded. The radius portion and the shaft portion form a gap area between the prong and the radius portion. A drywall installation and nail remover has a shaft portion and a prong placed on the shaft portion at an angle to the shaft first end.
