Abstract: A mobile camera stand having a receiver with a receiver top to which a non-pivoting telescoping arm is attached, a receiver bottom with a locking member to which a non-telescoping arm is removably attachable, and a receiver pivotable section to which a pivoting telescoping arm is attached. The distal ends of each telescoping arm are adapted to attach to a camera or a camera platform. An adjustable upper connecting member is removably attachable to the non-pivoting arm and adjustably and removably attachable to a user. An adjustable lower connecting member is removably attachable to the non-telescoping arm and adjustably and removably attachable to a user.
Abstract: A solar-controlled light device with a circuit-control having a phototransistor, a first resistor, and a first transistor connected to a storage unit, to a solar cell, and to a current-control. The current-control has a transformer, a second resistor, and a second transistor, connected at one end of the current-control to a light and at another end connected to the circuit-control, wherein the current-control senses the amount of power and boost the power as needed to a sufficient level to power the lights.

Abstract: A fuel cap having a cap member with an internal chamber and a downward extending hollow tube in open communication with the internal chamber and in sealing communication with a lower hub bore; vents on side walls of the internal chamber; an absorption media inside the internal chamber below the vents and above the hollow tube; a hub rotatably and slidably connected to the cap member with the hub having a lower hub bore into which the hollow tube is translatable for releasing vapors from the fuel tank as necessary before re-fueling whereby the vapors pass through the absorption media where they are cleansed before being release out the vents.
Abstract: A baseball practice system for training one in pitching, throwing, fielding, catching, and batting. The practice system is portable and collapsible having a removable pitching component on one side and a batting and netting on the other side. The pitching component has a strike-zone opening and one or more pockets in a catch sack in back of the strike-zone opening. The netting is of an elastic material suited to rebound a ball thrown on the netting for the purpose of practicing throwing, catching, and fielding. A ball component, attached to elastic cords, is suspended outward and downward from a forward extending member adjacent to the top of the baseball practice system. An adjustment and locking member adjacent to the rear of the forward extending member adjustably secures in place an upper cord which is attached to a ball.
Abstract: A video camera light shield for use with a video camera which has an adjustable hood component covering the LCD monitor and lens of a video camera, wherein the hood component is a two-section hood component adjustably slidable front to rear, with a two-piece front plate attached to the two-piece hood component which is adjustably side to side to adjust the light shield to more effectively fit to a variety of different video camera styles and sizes for best performance results.
Abstract: A device for achieving a controlled low emanation rate of small volumes of liquid solutions, such as single or multi-component solutions, fragrances, or pheromones, for pest and insect management or fragrance enhancement. The device has a housing with an upper chamber to hold a bladder containing desired liquid solution to be released, a lower chamber containing an electro-chemical gas generator, a collector pad for receiving liquid solution from the bladder, and a cap which, when translated downward, activated the gas generator which fills the upper chamber with gas exerting pressure on the bladder which in turn forces the liquid solution from the bladder onto the pad for release to the environment. The gas generator is capable of releasing gases such as hydrogen, oxygen, or carbon dioxide at extremely small, pre-determined, and adjustable rates.
Abstract: An avocado de-skinning apparatus having two generally vertically disposed rotating drums. The rotating drums rotate inward to pinch the skin of an avocado and force the off and through a gap defined between the rotating drums. A driver in the gap and in the upper section of the rotating drums aids in forcing the skin from the avocado and into the gap and through the rear side of the rotating drums. A skin scraper removes any skin adhering to the drums and a pulp scraper retrieves any pulp adhering to the drums for further processing.
Abstract: A video camera monitor shield for use with a video camera which has a hood for covering the LCD monitor of a video camera, a base member with an upward extending rod at its front to which the hood adjustably connects.
Abstract: A putter training device having an outer perimeter wall with two vertical bars within. The two vertical bars bisect each other at their respective centers. Each vertical bar has a centerline transversing it full length. The centerlines form references lines for a golfer when practicing the art of putting. The centerlines may be colored flat line marking with the color being easily seen or the centerlines may be grooves cut into the tops of each vertical bar. Indicia representing the width of a conventional golf ball are on top of the outer perimeter wall at a point where the device is designed to strike the golf ball. The diameter of the outer perimeter is of a width substantially equal to the diameter of a conventional golf hole.
Abstract: A strut bar having single or multi-cross member each with downward diagonally disposed extensions terminating at a pivot point and a mounting member. The mounting members are adapted to fit directly over existing shock towers and strut towers using the studs of each respective tower. A diagonally disposed support brace is connected to the cross members and to the downward extensions according greater structural support.
Abstract: A mobile water-contaminant separation system having a plurality of separate water separation units connected to one another, a conveyor component which captures contaminated water at a first end, conveys the contaminated water to a second end, and deposits the contaminated water in a first of the plurality of water separation units for processing. A pump between succeeding water separation units facilitates the transfer from a prior water separation unit to a succeeding water separation unit for further processing until the contaminated water is completely de-contaminated.
