Abstract: The present invention is a garment that functions to shape, slim and smooth a wearer's thighs, specifically the point between below their buttocks and above their knees. The present invention is a one-piece elastic garment consisting, at least for it's major part, of a smooth, continuous elastic fabric. Construction comprises a band arrangement for encircling a wearer's thigh, below the buttocks and above the knees, with its ends joined by a medial seam. The garment may include friction bands, at its top and bottom, to assist in securing it against the desired location on the wearer's body. The garment is capable of being adjusted comfortably around the thighs of a human. Garment will be available in variety of sizes based on research of national US averages. Sizes will currently include but not be limited to; One (18-20 inches), Two (22-24 inches), Three (26-28) inches and Four (30-32).

Abstract: Voltage-activated and accurate current sink, and method of providing same. In one aspect, a circuit for accurately sinking current includes a zener diode coupled to a power source at the cathode of the zener diode, and first and second transistors, where the first transistor has its collector coupled to the power source and its base coupled to the cathode of the zener diode, and the second transistor has its base coupled to the anode of the zener diode and its emitter coupled to ground. A resistor is coupled between the emitter of the first transistor and the collector of the second transistor.

Abstract: The vented port-cap includes a check-valve, which admits air into the barrel of the hydrant when the pressure inside is lower than the pressure outside. After an inspection of the hydrant, the hydrant can be left to drain by itself, even though the port-cap has been replaced and tightened.
