Abstract: An applicator for beauty products comprises a lighting device for providing lighting when applying beauty products. In various embodiments, the lighting device is a hollow body enclosing a power supply, such as one or more batteries, with the power supply and including a light source. The light source is surrounded by an opaque body so the light source casts an even glow of light. Further, the light source has in such a shape or an orientation allowing the light source to emit beyond an outer perimeter of one or more interchangeable brush heads that are coupled to an outer circumference of the light source. The hollow body also includes a switch coupled to the power supply and to the light source. When activated, the switch completes a circuit providing power from the power supply to the light source, causing the light source to emit light.

Abstract: A pet bed system is configured to be secured to a bed of a pet owner. This allows a pet owner to prevent the pet from constraining the pet owner's bed space. The pet bed system is secured to the bed by inserting a base segment between a box spring and a mattress. A vertical beam connected to the base segment supports a platform, which holds the pet bed. The vertical beam can be adjustable, allowing the pet bed to be positioned at various heights relative to the mattress. The segments are connected to each other via foldable hinges. The segments of the pet bed system can be folded upon each other, providing a compact configuration for storage when not in use.

Abstract: A cutting board includes an opening for a rotatable disc. The rotatable disc may be inserted into the cutting board and allow a user to rotate food or other objects to be cut on the rotatable disc. This allows the user to maintain a cutting object, such as a knife, in a fixed location and rotate the rotatable disc to cut the object at varying angles. The rotatable disc can be interchanged with rotatable discs with various surfaces, such as a cutting surface for slicing or grating. The cutting board may also include a removable tray underneath the board for collecting food cut by the cutting surface.

Abstract: A protection system comprises a body section and optional ramps for facilitating travel over the body section. The protection system may comprise base and arm members, which have bottom surfaces at different elevations to fit over an elevation change. In use, the protection system is installed over a surface to be protected, which may be a portion of an infrastructure improvement, such as a sidewalk, curb, gutter, or other structure. Traffic crossing the surface of the infrastructure improvement is then directed over the protection system, where the topical load from the traffic is distributed across the surface. When the use is complete, the protection system may be removed from the surface.

Abstract: Useful in a construction environment, for example, the protection system is installed over a surface to be protected, various configurations of a protection system are installed over a portion of an infrastructure improvement, such as a sidewalk, curb, gutter, or other structure. Traffic crossing the surface of the infrastructure improvement is then directed over the protection system to avoid damage that could otherwise occur due to the application of topical weight directly on the surface. The protection system may include ramps that facilitate traffic over the protected surface.
