Abstract: A home theatre cable and cord organizing apparatus including a cable and cord storage compartment having a mounting flange, a power strip receiving port, a removably attachable access plate composed of a material to which paint will adhere, and a plurality of mounting clips. The mounting flange in cooperation with the mounting clips allow for easy installation once an appropriately sized hole is created. With the storage compartment secured in place, the user has an opening from which to access and manage all necessary connection cables and power cords. Once all connections are made, the access plate can be removably attached to the storage compartment providing an aesthetic concealment of the connection cables and power cords until the user needs access at a later time.

Abstract: A nautical sign with reflective and photoluminescent qualities that is used to enhance the safety of nautical travelers on waterways in conditions where visibility is limited. The nautical sign comprises a front rigid sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface, a back rigid sheet having an upper surface and a lower surface, alternating layers of round reflective disks having an upper surface and a lower surface and a photoluminescent film having an upper surface and a lower surface. The alternating layers of round reflective disks and photoluminescent film are contained in between the front rigid sheet and the back rigid sheet. When a light source is shown on the nautical sign, a portion of the light is reflected by the reflective disks and the photoluminescent film is activated resulting in heightened visibility of the nautical sign.
