Abstract: A vapor-absorbing insert for non-ventilated delivery containers comprising a first and second layers of highly absorbent cotton fiber, and a third absorbent layer (which faces downward toward the food) having an applied layer of adhesive protected by a removable release layer which, when removed, exposes the adhesive for contact with the underside of the lid of a non-ventilated delivery container. The insert is pressed into a continuous laminated composite strip. The several layers may be bonded by pressure-induced interaction between the fibers of adjoining layers, and/or by adhesive fusing at their peripheral edges, and/or by spaced perforations which intertwine fibers between adjoining layers, after which the bonded layers are cut to shape. In use, upon peeling off the peelable anti-stick sheet, the element self-adheres to the underside of the food container lid.

Abstract: A portable entertainment ball for random number selection and having a size suitable for handheld use is disclosed.

A housing wall is further configured to have a number selection panel in communication with said processor to select numbers for a specific lottery play pattern, a specific lottery multiplier, or a plurality of number ranges.

Abstract: A vapor-absorbing insert for hot food containers comprising a first and second layers of highly absorbent cotton fiber, and a third absorbent layer (which faces downward toward the food) having an applied layer of adhesive protected by a removable release layer which, when removed, exposes the adhesive for contact with the underside of a food container lid. The insert is manufactured by staging and stacking the several layers of cellulosic material in an assembly machine and then pressing them into a continuous laminated composite strip. The several layers may be bonded by pressure-induced interaction between the fibers of adjoining layers, and/or by adhesive fusing at their peripheral edges, and/or by spaced perorations which intertwine fibers between adjoining layers, after which the bonded layers are cut to shape. In use, upon peeling off the release layer, the element self-adheres to the underside of the food container lid.
