Abstract: An improved trimmer is structured to be held in the palm of a user's hand. The trimmer has a grinding drum that is advantageously structured to be situated in a palmar region of the user's hand that can be said to extend from the palm and to be generally bounded by the fingertips. When the trimmer is held in the palmar region, the thumb and certain fingers can support the trimmer, and other fingers that are not necessarily employed in supporting the trimmer are usable to operate a control switch of the trimmer. The control switch controls operation of a drive motor that is connected with a grinding drum which provides abrasive surfaces that are engageable with the animal nail or claw.

Abstract: The present invention is an improved medicinal herb or tobacco smoking device making use of thermoelectric technology to increase performance over thermally passive systems, provides built-in self-cleaning properties, and utilizes easy to use electrical arrangement.

Abstract: A thermoelectric unit for a thermoelectric insulated container. The thermoelectric unit is configured to be inserted in a small opening in the insulated container. A cold side heat sink is mounted on the portion of the thermoelectric unit that extends inside of the insulated container, and a hot side heat sink is mounted on a portion of the thermoelectric unit that extends outside. The thermoelectric unit is arranged so that a thermoelectric module for the thermoelectric unit, the cold side heat sink, and the hot side heat sink are aligned linearly. A hot side fan and motor unit is mounted on the outside of the hot side heat sink and a cold side fan and motor unit is mounted on the outside of the cold side heat sink. The hot and cold side fan and motor units may also be mounted linearly with the hot and cold side heat sinks.

Abstract: Structural support apparatus with active or passive heat transfer system with a flexible insulated container, a rigid heat-conductive metallic element, a heat exchange system, where the metallic element structurally supports the container. The metallic element and container form a waterproof bond, and the metallic element and heat exchange system form a thermal bond. A preferred embodiment includes a flexible insulated container forming a closed volume with a plurality of flexible walls.
