Abstract: An electro-magnetic circular engine in which the motive force is electro-magnetism. The electro-magnetic circular engine comprises a hub assembly, first and second electro-magnetic wheels, electro-magnetic means, and electrical means. The electro-magnetic circular engine includes the rotation of the hub assembly in a predetermined direction continuously after the initial activation of the hub assembly by assembly of applying a short period of the external force, such as from a starter. At least three alternators are connected to the rotating shaft and work at a minimum of 35 amps to over 600 amps each and recharge batteries.

Abstract: A bracket assembly to suspend objects comprising a bracket and a cap assembly. The bracket has a mounting plate that comprises a front surface and a rear surface. The bracket also has a U-shaped bracket having first and second arms that perpendicularly extend from the front surface. The U-shaped bracket defines first and second interior side edges and an interior rear edge. The cap assembly works in combination with a container. The cap assembly comprises a cap head, a bottom edge, and a ring. The ring has a first outside diameter that is larger than a distance between said first and second interior side edges to suspend the cap assembly in combination with the container from the bracket.

Abstract: A telecommunication and advertising business model and method of utilizing same that permits users to make telephone calls for a predetermined amount of time according to the destination of the call. The telecommunication and advertising business model is controlled by an on-line database system and comprises customers, and companies that pay for advertising through a system.

Abstract: An adjustable golf putter comprising a top shaft assembly, a bottom shaft assembly, a hosel assembly, a putter head, and a removable handle assembly. When the handle assembly is installed, the ergonometric golf putter has a zigzag shape. This configuration better enables the golfer to sight the ball and effect a putt. When the handle assembly is removed, the ergonometric golf putter has a straight shape. This configuration enables the golfer to utilize the golf putter as a traditional straight golf putter. In addition, the hosel assembly defines a predetermined lie angle to accommodate the golfer's preference. The same putter is usually adaptable for a right or left handed user.

Abstract: A hitch mirror assembly removably mounted onto a top edge of a vehicle's tailgate, comprising a housing assembly, a mirror assembly within the housing assembly, battery-powered illumination means and a clamp assembly. The vehicle has a hitch ball for towing a trailer that has a hitch ball coupler. When the hitch mirror assembly is mounted, a person is able to view the hitch ball from inside the vehicle's cab with the mirror assembly, while backing up the vehicle to align the hitch ball underneath the hitch ball coupler. The illumination means illuminate the hitch ball if required and reflective strips mounted to the hitch ball coupler reflect the light projecting from the illumination means to make the hitch ball coupler more visible from the driver's position. The clamp assembly removable secures the housing assembly to the vehicle's tailgate and includes an elongated member, a telescopic housing and a clamp member.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed that includes a carrier structure and an optical coupling arrangement. The carrier structure is made of a silicon material and allows for the packaging and integrating of microphotonic devices onto a single chip. The optical coupling mechanism enables laser light to be coupled into and out of a microphotonic resonant disk integrated on the carrier. The carrier provides first, second and third cavities that are dimensioned so as to accommodate the insertion and snug fitting of the microphotonic resonant disk and first and second prisms that are implemented by the optical coupling arrangement to accommodate the laser coupling.

Abstract: A single-use security bar seal assembly for containers, comprising an elongated bar member having first and second ends, a support assembly, and a receiving bracket. The receiving bracket, support assembly, and bar member have transparent plastic covers. The single-use security bar seal assembly has bar-codes on all individual parts and electrical means for determining severance of the elongated bar member.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method of producing cones and pillars on polymethylmethacralate (PMMA) optical fibers for glucose monitoring. The method, in one embodiment, consists of using electron beam evaporation to deposit a non-contiguous thin film of aluminum on the distal ends of the PMMA fibers. The partial coverage of aluminum on the fibers is randomly, but rather uniformly distributed across the end of the optical fibers. After the aluminum deposition, the ends of the fibers are then exposed to hyperthermal atomic oxygen, which oxidizes the areas that are not protected by aluminum. The resulting PMMA fibers have a greatly increased surface area and the cones or pillars are sufficiently close together that the cellular components in blood are excluded from passing into the valleys between the cones and pillars. The optical fibers are then coated with appropriated surface chemistry so that they can optically sense the glucose level in the blood sample than that with conventional glucose monitoring.

Abstract: A bungee cord system, including, a bungee cord assembly, engaging locks, and universal anchors to safely secure, store, transport, and/or stack packages, containers and the like to surfaces. The bungee cord assembly includes an elasticized cord with first and second ends. An engaging lock assembly is fixed upon each of said first and second ends. The universal anchor includes at least one elongated member having anchor means that removably attach to the bungee cord assembly and/or the engaging lock assembly and/or a solid structure.

Abstract: A clasp assembly for jewelry to be worn as a ring or earring. As a ring, the clasp assembly for jewelry allows individuals to wear rings around finger phalanges, by locking the rings below the knuckles of the fingers without having to slide the rings over knuckles of the fingers. As an earring, the clasp assembly for jewelry allows individuals to wear an earring on various parts of the individual.
