Abstract: A projector comprising a directional light source, a lens disposed opposite the light source, and an image medium support assembly disposed between the light source and the lens along a light path that extends from the light source through the lens; a housing enclosing the directional light source, the image medium support assembly, and the lens, wherein said housing is suitable for outdoor use; and a support member connected to the housing such that the angle of projection can be adjusted.

Abstract: A system and method for storing a product in a thermally stabilized state is disclosed. The system includes a thermally-conductive structure having at least an enclosed volume and an open section. The open section is configured to store at least one unit of the product as the product is exposed to ambient air. The system also includes a thermally-conductive fluid sealed within the enclosed volume and being in thermal contact with the enclosed volume. The system further includes at least one thermo-electric device and at least one thermally-conductive probe extending from the at least one thermo-electric device and into the fluid. The probe provides a thermally-conductive path between the fluid and the thermo-electric device.

Abstract: A projector having a polymeric housing containing an electrical light source, an image medium support assembly aligned in the light path of the light source, and a lens through which light emanating from the light source exits the housing after passing through an image medium disposed in the image support assembly. The projector is preferably adjustably mounted on a support member comprising a tubular section containing a transformer, The projector can be made with an electric motor inside the housing that causes a wheel comprising multiple fixed images to continuously or intermittently rotate the same or different images sequentially through the light path of the projector, A projector assembly is also disclosed in which a projector is mounted in a frame assembly in combination with a rotating mirror ball that simultaneously redirects the projected image in many different directions and continuously changes the image being projected onto a particular spot on surrounding viewing surfaces.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable household food cooker capable of receiving a food mixture and producing food items in a continuous fashion. The continuous food cooker generally includes a housing and a hopper. The hopper is disposed above the housing for receiving the food mixture and for dispensing the food mixture into the cooker. The continuous food cooker also includes a hot roller assembly for forming and cooking the food mixture, a hot roller drive assembly operatively attached to at least one roller, and a cutter for cutting the produced food item at a desired length. The hot roller assembly includes at least one rotatable roller and at least one heating element for heating the at least one roller. The at least one roller and the at least one heating element are disposed internally to the housing.

Abstract: A portable warming device for dry heating a towel. The portable warming device includes a heating arrangement that heats one or more surface of the portable warming device so as to heat a towel that is in contact with the one or more heated surfaces. The heating arrangement includes a controller to at least partially control the heating of the towel.

Abstract: Disclosed is a battery-powered grass and weed trimming device including a housing portion with a handle portion and a shield portion. A first switch is disposed on a top side of the housing and a second switch is disposed on the bottom side of the housing. The second switch acts as a safety interlock to avoid accidental actuation of the device. A hub is disposed adjacent to the shield and retentively maintains a filament. A motor forcefully rotates the filament for cutting grass and weeds. The trimming device is packaged for sale in a sealed package having a feature that permits a prospective purchaser to momentarily operate the tirmmer while it is still in the package. The trimmer includes an optional wheeled extension handle to which the trimmer can be mounted to allow a user to use the trimmer while standing.

Abstract: An electric grass shear has a safety button linked to a power switch for the shear, such that the safety button must be pressed before the power switch can be actuated to allow electric current to flow to a motor. In one embodiment, the grass shear is packaged for sale in a sealed package having a feature that permits a prospective purchaser to momentarily operate the shear while it is still in the package. In another embodiment, the grass shear is provided with a wheeled extension handle to which the shear can be mounted to allow a user to use the shear while standing.
