Abstract: Small form-factor apparatus and methods for holding, securing, and accessing personal items normally carried on a keychain or in a wallet including, for example, keys, universal serial bus (USB) drive, driver license, credit cards, radio-frequency identification (RFID) cards and paper currency are disclosed. Clips, organizers, combination clip and organizers, and radio frequency blocking cards are disclosed that have a substantially planar profile.

Abstract: Liquid dispensing applicators adapted to be mounted to a container of lubricating oil or degreaser and used to lubricate or apply degreaser to a drive chain of a bicycle or motorcycle are disclosed. The applicator housing has an open slot to receive the chain. A wear-resistant and absorbent pad is positioned within the housing to engage the chain. A conduit between the absorbent pad and the container transmits liquid to the absorbent pad such that the chain can be cleaned or lubricated.

Abstract: Infrared radiation emitted from tissue surface of body cavity is measured by an infrared sensor located within a probe which generates a signal voltage dependent on the difference in temperature between the tissue and the infrared sensor. An additional ambient sensor measures the ambient temperature of the infrared sensor. The signals of the two sensors are added. To calibrate and eliminate errors, the housing of the device is provided with a chamber shaped to receive the probe and containing a target viewed by the infrared sensor. An error signal is thus generated which is added to the signals of the two sensors when they view the body tissue. A disposable, sanitary cover for the probe is made of a truncated polyethylene member of substantially uniform thickness closed by an end window. A filter in the probe suppresses absorption bands of polyethylene to eliminate errors due to minor variations in cover thickness.
