Abstract: A novelty pillow comprising a pillow base structure, a front surface and a back surface, at least one slit opening in at least one surface, a cavity recessed in the base structure below the slit, at least one phallic member extendable from the cavity out through the slit and indicia for conveying predetermined messages.

Abstract: A water jacketed exhaust pipe comprising an inner liner, an outer shell, and a spray ring. The inner liner includes an internally tapered section which clips the turbulence that occurs along the inner walls of the liner. As a result, fluid expelled from the spray ring will not migrate into the inner liner where it can cause severe corrosion. The outer liner includes an internally tapered section which scatters the stream of water expelled from the spray ring and further redirects water onto the inner liner and into the center of the exhaust path. The redirected water particles are easily vaporized and in the process, extract a significant amount of heat from the exhaust system.

Abstract: A method for making diamonds by heating a heterogeneous dispersion of carbon made by the pyrolisis of an organic material and copper metal in a convenient pressure vessel while maintained at a pressure of 100,000 psi. The copper content of the reacting mass should be maintained within 15% of the total for best results.

Abstract: A system for use with a normally open manually actuated water valve, or any other suitable manually actuated device, for automatically closing the valve, or device, upon sensing water. The system includes at least one water sensor electrically connected to a motorized actuator mounted on the valve, or device, whereby a signal is transmitted either by electrical conductor, or in an alternate embodiment by RF transmission, to the motorized actuator upon sensing water, whereby said manual valve is automatically actuated to its closed position. The system may be installed on an otherwise conventional manual shut-off valve, without replacing the valve or otherwise interrupting flow through the valve.

Abstract: An adjustable visor extension that provides increased window coverage for blocking out sunlight, headlights, and ultraviolet rays when attached to a visor, wherein the visor extension comprises a visor wrap having opposing flaps which overlap to secure the visor wrap to a visor, a vertically adjustable shade extending from the visor wrap, a shield attached to the lower end of the shade for folding the shield into the shade and a plurality of hook-and-loop patches used for holding the shade and shield in various folded positions.
