Abstract: The extendable socket extension is a tool that allows the user to be able to reach into small, tight places to either attach or remove bolts or screws. A first piece and a second piece are slideably connected. By using a thumb release, the second piece can slide in or out to a desired length. Once the desired length is reached the thumb release engages a locking pin holding the first and second piece to the desired length. A ratchet is then attached to the first piece and a socket wrench is attached to the second piece. The socket wrench is then attached to the bolt or screw to be inserted and removed and is rotated into or out of the desired location by the ratchet.

Abstract: The bed skirt guard is designed to fit between the mattress and box spring wherein the sides form a box around the top of the box springs. This prevents the bed skirt from getting caught and pulled under the mattress when changing the sheets on the bed or tucking in the covers. The bed skirt guard is comprised of a flexible plastic material that allows the sheets and or blankets to slide easily. Since the bed skirt guard hangs over the sides of the box springs it keeps the bed skirt in place.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing a fluorescent light bulb is disclosed. The apparatus includes a circular housing including a pair of contact receptacles operable to receive two conductive elements of a fluorescent light bulb. A lamp housing is coupled to a portion of an outside surface of the housing and extending away from the housing and sized to receive a low-voltage lamp. A power source is coupled between the contact receptacles and the low-voltage lamp and operable to illuminate the low-voltage lamp when an electrode of the fluorescent light bulb is coupled to the contact receptacles.

Abstract: A firearm receiver system including a receiver body, an ammunition belt feeding assembly and a bolt carrier. The receiver body includes a first face and a second face approximately opposite the first face. The receiver body is configured for having means for triggering engaged therewith at the first face and for receiving belt-fed ammunition through the second face. The ammunition belt feeding assembly is mounted at least partially on the receiver body and the ammunition belt feeding assembly is configured for supplying the belt-fed ammunition to the receiver body through the second face. The bolt carrier is movably mounted on the receiver body between the first and second faces of the receiver body and the bolt carrier is configured for being actuated by gas-energized piston-driven means.

Abstract: A cooling method for controlled high speed chilling or freezing is disclosed. Cooling fluid is circulated by a submersed circulator, such as a motor, at a substantially constant velocity past a substance to be cooled . The velocity of fluid flow is maintained despite changes in the viscosity of the cooling fluid, by either increasing or decreasing the amount of torque supplied by the motor. The cooling fluid is cooled to a desired temperature by circulating the fluid past a multi-path heat exchanging coil connected to a refrigeration system. An optimal cooling fluid temperature for a variety of applications is in the range of about ?24° C. to ?26° C., resulting in significant efficiency gains over conventional cooling processes.
