Abstract: A device when installed between the physical gap between toilet partition panels provides a hook to hang personal items while the toilet is in use. The device also can be used to secure the toilet partition door to the toilet partition wall, preventing the door from being opened from the outside.

Abstract: A portable door lock for use with a door hingedly mounted in a doorway formed of a door jamb and a locking recess wherein the door lock can be formed of first and second rectilinear U-shaped members formed of flat strips of metal.

Abstract: An entry securing apparatus for securing a door is provided that may comprise a rod secured to the door with one or more supports; a door block comprising a slot for receiving the rod and allowing the rod to pass through the door block, the door block moveable from a disengaged position to an engaged position, wherein the door block is in the engaged position when a portion of the door block is overlapping at least a portion of a door frame surrounding the door; and a fastener for securing the door block in the engaged position, whereby opening of the door is restricted by the door block.

Abstract: A water-proof container for holding a mobile device includes a base adapted to support a mobile device, a cover, a hinge for interconnecting the base and cover to one another, and a locking mechanism for locking the cover to the base. A groove is formed in an interior wall of the cover in circumscribing relation to the cover. A thin, transparent sheet of plastic has a bead formed in its peripheral edge and the bead is press fit into the groove so that the thin sheet of plastic closely overlies the operative face of the mobile device when the cover is latched to the base. A hollow lock housing is pivotally mounted about a pivot pin. A one hundred eighty degree (180°) rotation of the lock housing positions the opening on an opposite side of the container 10, capturing the latch.

Abstract: In a fastening portion for fastening an upper retaining portion and a lower retaining portion by means of a mounting screw, the upper retaining portion has a screw hole and a cylindrical guide formed around and above the screw hole. Further, a projection is formed on the inner wall of the cylindrical guide at an upper portion thereof. In a loosened condition of the mounting screw where it is disengaged from a screw hole, the head portion of the mounting screw is caught to be retained by the projection. The upper portion of the cylindrical guide is tapered so that it has an inner diameter smaller than the diameter of the head portion of the mounting screw. Accordingly, even when the upper retaining portion is turned upside down in the loosened condition of the mounting screw, the mounting screw does not fall down from the upper retaining portion.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a CMOS sensor. A substrate has a metal-oxide semiconductor. The metal-oxide semiconductor has a gate and a source/drain region in the substrate. A dummy shield layer is over a part of the substrate. A sensor region is in the substrate with one end extended from a part of the source/drain region and the other end adjacent to the part of the substrate under the dummy shield layer.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a door lock attachable to the edge of a door and selectively deployable to engage the floor adjacent the door to thereby prevent the door from opening. More specifically, the door lock comprises a slide adapted to be clamped to the door, the slide engaging a vertical leg of an L-shaped bracket, the horizontal leg thereof being provided with a plurality of V-shaped cuts forming downwardly directed teeth for engaging the floor or the carpet adjacent the door. Included also in the horizontal leg are two adjustable screws which may be turned downwardly to provide further engagement with the floor.

Abstract: An auxiliary portable lock which comprises a housing, a lock body receivable within said housing, and adapted for axial rotation therein, said housing being internally communicative with a tubular casing axially normal to the longitudinal axis of said housing and being open at its opposite ends. There is an elongated locking bar having a serrated surface provided for extension through said tubular casing and having integrally formed at one of its ends, a door-engaging portion. A cooperative serrated member is provided within said housing for movement toward and away from the confronting portion of said locking bar for maintaining same in selected disposition; said cooperative serrated member is operatively engaged to said lock body which latter, through rotative movement effects translation of said cooperative serrated member. A door engaging element is formed at one end of said tubular casing. Key control components are provided to secure said lock body to said housing.
