Abstract: A musical toothbrush including a handle. A coupling member couples with an open upper end of the handle. A brush portion detachably mates with the coupling member. A digital sound generator is disposed interiorly of the handle. The digital sound generator is coupled with a power source positioned within the handle. A speaker is disposed within the handle. An activation button couples with the digital sound generator. Pressing inwardly on the activation button will activate the digital sound generator to emit a tune through the speaker and releasing the activation button will deactivate the digital sound generator.

Abstract: A toilet training system, using a board having a pre-printed path having a path beginning and a path end. The path is made up of step spaces and reward goal spaces. Initially, the parent and child select a reward type, and write the reward type in one of the reward spaces. When the child successfully uses the toilet, one of the step spaces is marked, providing visual indication to the child that they are progressing toward one of the reward spaces, and the reward symbolized thereby. When a child fails to successfully use the toilet, the last marked step space is erased to provide the child with a gentle reminder about the set back in toilet training. Once the step space immediately preceding that reward space has been reached by virtue of successful uses of the toilet, the child is rewarded with the previously chosen reward.

Abstract: A card game and method of play that is comprised of a unique card game that substantially reverses the traditional rankings of poker, and is played by several players, including a banker/player. The best five card hand, that includes an eight or lower, is the winner, as determined by a hierarchy. According to the hierarchy, a low card straight flush of eight or lower beats a low card non-straight flush of eight or lower, which beats a low card non-suited straight, which beats a low card non-straight non-flush of eight or lower. Hands within each of these categories are superior if they have a lower highest card. If the highest cards are tied, then the second highest cards are compared, and so on. Each player attempts to beat the banker/player's hand.

Abstract: A light activated exhaust fan including an exhaust fan disposed above a ceiling area within a building. The exhaust fan is disposed within a housing. The housing has openings within side walls thereof. The openings in the side walls have ducts extending outwardly therefrom. Outer ends of the ducts extend outwardly of the ceiling area for communication with rooms therebelow. The housing has an opening through an upper end thereof. The opening through the upper end has an exhaust vent extending upwardly therefrom. An outer end of the exhaust vent extends outwardly of the building. The exhaust fan is in communication with a power source. A pair of activation mechanisms are secured within the rooms. The activation mechanisms are in communication with an activation receiver of the exhaust fan.

Abstract: A carrier for refuse containers of the type having a front and a back, a top and a bottom, wheels located on the bottom back, and a cross bar located on the front midway between the top and bottom, comprising a longitudinal main beam and a plurality of cradles supported by the main beam. Each cradle is adapted to support one of the refuse containers from the bottom thereof. A locking mechanism includes a latch hook extending from the main beam centered with respect to the cradle to selectively lock onto the cross bar of the trash receptacle, and an operating handle extending alongside the cradle for engaging the latch hook.

Abstract: A treatment for xerostomia, employing a composition having the active ingredient of carbamide peroxide. The carbamide peroxide compound contains urea and hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide remains stable until the carbamide peroxide is applied to the mouth and contacts the water inherent therein. On contact, the hydrogen peroxide is freed from the urea, allowing the hydrogen peroxide to react within the mouth. The resulting chemical and mechanical reaction stimulates saliva within the mouth and thereby relieves the symptoms of xerostomia.

Abstract: A height adjustable toilet seat including a frame member disposed on opposing sides of a toilet. The frame member has sliding plates slidably disposed thereon. The sliding plates have a toilet seat secured therebetween whereby the toilet seat is positioned over a toilet bowl of the toilet. A water supply conduit is provided that is coupled with a standard water supply line. The water supply conduit has a bifurcated outer portion for positioning with respect to the frame member. A pair of cylinders are positioned underneath the sliding plates. The pair of cylinders each have a water inlet in fluid communication with the bifurcated outer portion of the water supply conduit. The pair of cylinders each have a piston extending upwardly therefrom and securing to an underside of the sliding plates. Each of the cylinders has a water outlet. A water outlet conduit is provided that is comprised of a bifurcated portion coupling with the water outlets of the pair of cylinders.

Abstract: A moisture monitoring device, for use in monitoring the soil moisture level of a potted plant, comprising a tubular housing having a proximal end and a distal end. A moisture sensor is located at the distal end, which is ordinarily submerged within the soil of the potted plant. An indicating LED is located at the proximal end, which is normally visible above the soil of the potted plant. A blinker circuit is located within the housing and is capable of controlling illumination of the indicating LED. The moisture sensor modulates the blinker circuit such that as the soil moisture level decreases, the blinker circuit causes the indicating LED to flash more rapidly.

Abstract: A container, for storing a variety of objects, comprising a housing having a first end, a second end, and two lids—one lid located at the first end and one lid located at the second end. Dividers are provided within the container to create distinct compartments therein. The compartments may include a transverse divider which creates distinct compartments at the first end and second end, and a longitudinal divider, which creates distinct compartments which each extend between the first end and second end. Both a transverse divider and two or more longitudinal dividers may be employed to create four or more compartments. Each of the lids having one or more lid flaps to provide access to the compartments therein. Snap in pourers may be inserted into the lids immediately beneath one or more of said lid flaps to control the pouring of granular substances.

Abstract: An illuminatable traffic sign including a traffic sign secured to a support post. The traffic sign has indicia disposed thereon. The traffic sign has an outer periphery. A plurality of lights are positioned on the traffic sign along the outer periphery and outlining the indicia thereof.
