Abstract: A reversible front or rear mounted vehicle warning light system employing an accelerometer circuit to control the initiation of warning lights to indicate if a vehicle is accelerating or de-accelerating or losing traction in turns, or providing advertising messages on demand.

Abstract: A single step rub-on, rub-off combination cleaning and waxing composition particularly suited for automobiles, glass, plastics, fiberglass, tile, and floor coverings.

Abstract: A method and device for automatically assessing loss of hearing sensitivity and compression (recruitment) with user defined frequency resolution by means of extrapolated DPOAE I/O functions and ABRs as well as for automatically fitting hearing aids without any cooperation of the subject tested using a device having a display screen attached to a handheld device generating and collecting otoacoustic emission signals and brain stem response signals into a programmed with a clinical audiogram with fitting parameters for hearing aids calculated on the basis of assessed hearing threshold and compression and identifying the type of hearing required for the individual.

Abstract: A wall-supported conical wringer for round-based string mops and method of making said wringer is provided with some new features integrated into a special mounting system which permits the conical wringer to be attached and held in a usable position at any kitchen twin sink divider or can be used on a utility or washroom sink sidewall. The device provides a convenient means of removing the excess water from a water-soaked mop without the need of a wringer equipped mop bucket.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for representing sets of Chinese or Asian characters having complicated and basic ideographic symbols in collision free combinations of English letters to provide one-code-one-character ideographic character coding.

Abstract: An adjustable air cushion bicycle seat hydraulic ram system mounted within the seat post of a bicycle with one end of the ram attached to the bicycle seat, and the other end of the ram in communication with an internal reservoir associated with an adjustable pressurized air/oil reservoir to selectively fill the internal reservoir with a pressurized air column to form an air cushion within the ram to provide the desired ride cushion.

Abstract: An improved screw in test plug covering the opening of a test plug opening adapted to removably secure inflatable test balls thereto for inflation therein for water column pressure testing, and deflation for release of the water before removal of the test plug and test ball from the plumbing system.

Abstract: A zero-emissions electric three-wheeled, enclosed scooter with two 1 hp motors driven from batteries charged by solar panels and a pedal-driven generator; also incorporating an innovative rear wheel drive and suspension system and a tilt capability to reduce parking space requirement to approximately one quarter of that of a conventional automobile.

Abstract: A single step rub-on, rub-off combination cleaning and waxing composition particularly suited for automobiles, glass, plastics, fiberglass, tile, and floor coverings.

Abstract: A rigid transparent crush resistant bank card terminal cover having a liquid, dust, and grease impervious top with sides defining an open bottom leading into an interior sized to fit about and cover a bank card terminal when placed upon a support surface, the sides defining at least one opening through which a terminal cord may be inserted and connected to the bank card terminal.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to a computer software implemented method, system, and apparatus for automatic updating disk drive configuration and rebuilding RAID data to assure proper data storage in a RAID configured system. The computer software implemented configuration mechanism utilizing CPU and memory of a computer system automatically generates a full configuration of the disk drives connected to system peripheral bus both at system initialization time and runtime. The configuration mechanism uses a computer-implemented procedure for scanning a newly added disk drive, detecting conflict to the existing configuration, resolving conflicts, finding a proper target referenced or ruined disk drive, replacing this target disk drive with the newly added disk drive, rebuilding the RAID data into the added disk drive, updating RAID configuration with the added disk drive, and presenting to the host operating system the current configuration information.

Abstract: An iron cover for ski wax irons a heat resistant liner having a padded bottom segment shaped to cover and protect the sole of an iron and a plurality of side flaps with ends. The side flaps extend sufficiently around the sides of an iron placed within the liner, and are secured around the iron with an elastic cord associated with the side flaps. The side flaps are structured and separated to define a plurality of heat release vents to allow heat to escape from a hot iron placed in the cover for storage.
