Abstract: An improved vehicle safety device for activating an alarm when the temperature in the interior of a vehicle reaches an extreme value. The device includes a presence sensor for detecting the presence of a human or an animal in the interior of a vehicle and a temperature sensor for detecting the temperature in the vehicle interior. A controller is coupled to the presence detector, the temperature detector, and the vehicle ignition system for generating a hazardous-condition signal in response to an extreme-temperature condition in the vehicle when a human or an animal is in the vehicle and the vehicle engine is not running. An alarm module is connected to the controller for generating audible, visual, and wireless emergency-response signals when a hazardous condition is detected. The alarm module may also be further configured to create a door-unlocking signal.

Abstract: A duct-free air filtration system including a housing having a hood for capturing air, grease, and smoke, and an elongated exhaust section in fluid communication with the hood. A grease extracting blower unit takes in air, grease, and smoke through the hood and exhausts air and smoke through the exhaust section of the housing with a substantial amount of the grease removed by centrifugal force. A charcoal filter disposed in the exhaust section removes odors from the air exhausted from the grease extracting blower unit and a smoke filter removes smoke from the air passed through the charcoal filter.

Abstract: Disclosed are shears are used for trimming bushes, trees, and brush. The loppers have the cutting blade which performs the cutting action and a counter edge for the cutting blade to work in conjunction. These loppers also have the addition of clamping jaws which will hold the severed limb. A user amputates a tree limb and the severed or orphaned limb falls helplessly to the ground, but these loppers clamp onto that limb when the cutting operation is performed. After the cut is made, the user can move the limb to a specific location, then decompresses the loppers and drop the limb as intended.
