Abstract: A bowl with one or more indentations built into the inside surface of the bowl, enabling its user to collect pasta and other foods onto a fork and twirl it into a “ball” against one spot in the inside of the bowl without the use of a spoon, thus eliminating the need to hold a spoon in connection with the consumption of pasta or noodles and other similar foods.

Abstract: A motor boat hull is provided with a longitudinal channel formed in the central portion of the underside surface, starting at an intermediate location and terminating at the stern. Exhaust gases from the propulsion engine are introduced into the forward portion of the channel and the gases flow toward the stern thereby reducing the contact of the hull with the water and reducing the hull-to-water friction levels and reducing the power required to propel the hull at a given speed.
