Abstract: A water cooler replenishing system which is designed to collect drinking water from a conventional supply bottle and dispense the water into a container, on top of a freestanding water cooler, and be repeatedly refilled. The water cooler replenishing system includes a pump having an inlet port and an outlet port. A water container is also included which is shaped and configured to rest on a freestanding water cooler and receive water for filling the container. A supply tube is provided for collecting water from a conventional supply bottle and the supply tube is connected, by fluid conduit to the inlet port. A filler tube is provided for dispensing water into the water container and the filler tube is connected, by fluid conduit to the outlet port. The pump may be selectively energized to collect water from the supply bottle and dispense the water to fill the container.

Abstract: A dietary supplement which is formulated for medical patients, particularly cancer patients undergoing a chemotherapy treatment regimen. The ingredients are formulated in a form which is easiest for the patient to digest, with consideration of the damage that chemotherapy causes to the digestive system. The dietary supplement provides an ample and well-balanced source of essential and non-essential amino acids, as well as vitamins and minerals. The amino acids are preferably provided in the form of free amino acids, which can be directly absorbed into the bloodstream without digestion. The supplement is formulated in such a manner that it can be used as the sole nutritional source for substantial periods of time.

Abstract: A blood irradiating apparatus is provided including a plurality of irradiating chambers having a base and an openable cover. Each irradiating chamber will include a number of ultraviolet light bulbs configured to provide a wide spectrum of ultraviolet light of differing wavelengths. A number of cuvettes permeable to ultraviolet light will be disposed in the irradiating chamber and configured to permit blood to flow in a turbulent manner sufficient to maximize exposure to ultraviolet light. An adaptable tubing structure will be provided to strategically transport blood through a number of cuvettes for exposure to ultraviolet light during treatment.

Abstract: A grip for a controller of a video game machine or video computer system that reduces slipping of the controller, increases the user's comfort and keeps the user's finger tips in proper position during use of the controller. The controller grip of the present invention provides a way to inexpensively, quickly and easily give a controller a different size, shape and/or ornamental design. The controller grip of the present invention has a covering material securable to the controller. The covering material is sized and configured to cover the controller in manner that the user has access to the controller's action control buttons and the selection control buttons.

Abstract: A vehicle ventilation conduit system for distributing heating or cooling air from an air vent to a rear vehicle compartment in a vehicle such as a police cruiser. The system includes an elongated main air flow conduit having an inlet end and a discharge end. A front sealing adaptor is provided on the main air flow conduit at the inlet end for releasably and sealingly engaging the air vent. A rear sealing adaptor is provided on the main air flow conduit at the discharge end for releasably and sealingly engaging the rear vehicle compartment. At least one auxiliary air flow conduit is typically provided in pneumatic communication with the main air flow conduit to facilitate cooling an electronic accessory such as a laptop computer in the vehicle.

Abstract: A full body exercise apparatus capable of permitting a user to conveniently develop and condition an extremely broad cross section of muscle groups so as to provide a full body workout. The full body exercise apparatus includes a bottom frame structure having a front end portion, a rear end portion, and a central axis extending therebetween. A seat pad and knee pad are provided near the central axis for user comfort. Stabilizer arms extend horizontally from the central axis to provide stability to the full body exercise apparatus. A pole section is removably secured to the bottom frame structure and extends perpendicularly upwards. A plurality of tension members are removably secured throughout the full body exercise apparatus and include a handle thereupon.

Abstract: A decorative ornament which may be attached to a shutter, wall, door, fence or other structure typically outside a home or business to enhance the appearance of the structure or to express seasonal, holiday, scholastic or other sentiment. The decorative ornament includes an ornament mount block which removably engages the structure. An ornament body which is shaped in the configuration of a flower or other selected design is removably attached to the ornament mount block typically using brackets. In one embodiment, a hook mount spring is provided on the ornament mount block. A pair of hooks terminate respective ends of the hook mount spring for removably engaging louvers or slats on a shutter, for example, or other elements on an alternative structure. In another embodiment, the ornament mount block may be attached to the structure using fasteners such as screws.

Abstract: A special offset calculator for determining the angle of a pipe fitting. The special offset calculator includes a background sheet having an offset value table with offset values representing various offset distances between two pipes to be connected. A transparent fitting sheet has printed lines which represent center line dimensions of fittings to be used in conjunction with an ell fitting or T-fitting with unknown angle to be determined in order to make the special offset. In use, the fitting sheet is positioned on the background sheet, with designated points on both sheets aligned with each other. After the required offset distance value is found on the background sheet, the fitting sheet is rotated or pivoted until the correct fitting size on the fitting sheet matches the offset distance value on the background sheet.

Abstract: A marine dock hitch which is designed to facilitate the quick and convenient attachment of a boat to a dock, facilitates locking of the boat to the dock to prevent theft of the boat, and provides a resilient connection between the boat and the dock to accommodate considerable elevation changes in the tide and wave action of a water body while the boat is attached to the dock. The marine dock hitch includes an elongated hitch bar having a hitch coupling provided on each end. One of the hitch couplings is removably attached to a hitch catch provided on the dock, and the other of the hitch couplings is removably attached to a hitch catch provided on the boat.

Abstract: A telecommunications call routing and billing computer system includes a telecommunications network including a junction point including a call routing switching device, and including two call routing links meeting at the junction point and in communications with each other through the call routing switching device; and a call routing simulation network including a junction point simulation computer located at the junction point and in communication with the call routing switching device and the two call routing links.
