Abstract: A cooling purified air breathing system for use during activity or in warm environments. The system includes a wearable portable air purifier having an opening for discharging cooling air, and a face mask configured to cover at least a user's nose and mouth. Air tubing is used to direct cooling filtered air into the mask, either through an opening or via a clip and connector attached to an edge of the mask. The air purifier is preferably worn in close proximity to the mask, such as around the back of the neck of the user.

Abstract: A dust mop head which requires limited handling of a disposable cloth before, during and after use, is described. The mop head includes a base having upper and lower surfaces and lateral side edges, movable first and second lateral side members, and a first connector configured to move between an engaged or closed position and a disengaged or open position. The connector couples the movable first and second lateral side members to the base such that each of the movable first and second lateral side members abuts one of the lateral side edges of the base when the first connector is in the engaged position. Further, an actuatable release mechanism operatively coupled to the first connector permits movement to the disengaged/open position when the release mechanism is actuated. The unique mechanisms within the mop head allow a cloth to be acquired and released without the user having to handle the cloth.

Abstract: A base mat for attaching a suction cup mounting device to in a vehicle. The base mat comprises a planar surface made from a substantially rigid material and having first and second faces, first and second foam adhesive strips fixed along edges of the first face of the planar surface, and an optional third foam adhesive strip positioned on the first face of the planar surface between the first and second strips.

Abstract: A computing device is electronically connected to one or more clients for a video conference. The computing device firstly sends a first video image to the clients. When a client requests a custom video image, the computing device obtains a second video image by merging images of all conference participants for the client, and sends to the client. The client selects information from the second video image and sends the information to the computing device. After receiving the information, the computing device creates the custom video image according to the received information, and sends the custom video image to the client.

Abstract: A fast charging mobile battery pack is usable to accept approximately 12V DC or between approximately 100V-240V AC and manage the voltage and current levels to rapidly charge a battery of a portable electronic device and/or one or more battery cells within the fast charging mobile battery pack. The fast charging portable battery pack may additionally include multiple output ports to provide different voltage and/or current levels to desired portable electronic devices.

Abstract: A method for managing geographical information of a plurality of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) terminal devices using a VoIP server receives location information of the VoIP terminal devices from the VoIP terminal devices, stores geographical information of the VoIP terminal devices into a data sheet stored in a storage device of the VoIP server. The method detects a query from one of the VoIP terminal devices, retrieves the geographical information from the data sheet according to the query, and obtains an electronic map from the storage device. The method further populates the retrieved geographical information on the electronic map, and sends the electronic map to the VoIP terminal device corresponding to the location information.

Abstract: A mobile device case system includes a first case system component usable to at least partially enclose a mobile device. A second case system component is attachable to the first case component (e.g., mechanically and/or electronically) to provide additional features and functionality such as, for example, an expansion battery and/or an external display. The second case system component can be replaced with other system components to, for example, change the display, replace the battery, or provide a decorative cover for the external surface of the case system.

Abstract: A temperature keeping container includes an inner receptacle and an outer vessel. The inner receptacle is fit in the outer vessel in a tight manner to form an accommodation chamber between the inner receptacle and the outer vessel for receiving and containing a low- or high-temperature medium as desired, or a substance, preferably an edible substance, that is frozen to form a freezing layer, whereby beverage, when deposited in the inner receptacle of the container, can be kept cool to allow a user to enjoy cold beverage of the original flavor, or alternatively, beverage can be poured onto the freezing layer to mix with the substance forming the freezing layer to provide a mixed flavor of beverage.
