  • Patent number: 6327484
    Abstract: A wireless communications device, such as a “cellular” telephone, including telephony circuitry, laser pointer circuitry, and a battery, wherein the telephony circuitry and the laser pointer circuitry are couplable to the battery. The widespread and everyday use of cellular telephones means that it is unlikely that a person would forget their telephone. Therefore, by integrating a laser pointer in a cellular telephone, it is unlikely for such person to ever be without a laser pointer. Furthermore, if that person forgets or loses their telephone, it may be possible to locate by placing a call to it, thereby also locating the laser pointer. Because a cellular telephone can be easily shared with others, so can a laser pointer integrated therewith.

  • Patent number: 6325352
    Abstract: An improved mounting base 300 for telecommunications equipment racks, including i) first and second side members 310-A and 310-B having upper planar portions 315 including means 311 for coupling the mounting base to a bottom portion of an equipment rack; and ii) forward and rearward cross members 320-A and 320-B having lower planar portions 325 including means 326 for coupling the mounting base to a floor surface. The upper planar portion 315 of each side member is disposed above the lower planar portions 326 of each cross member. When coupled to a bottom portion of an equipment rack, the forward cross member 320-A is disposed proximate a front portion of the equipment rack and defines an access passage between the lower planar portion 325 of the forward cross member and the bottom portion of the equipment rack, such that the access passage allows frontal access to the means 326 for coupling of the rearward cross member to a floor surface.

  • Patent number: 6253772
    Abstract: A hair sculpting device having an elongated member with first and second free end portions and a middle portion. Universal coupling means are disposed proximate the first and second tree end portions and at least one intermediate location along the middle portion. The universal coupling means are adapted to allow the first and second free end portions and the intermediate location to be selectively coupled. The universal coupling means can be further used to couple the device to one or more additional devices, thereby allowing a user to configure the device(s) as a function of the hair length or form. In an exemplary embodiment, the universal coupling means includes a female portion having a closed loop and a male portion having adjacent first and second flexible prongs. Each of the first and second flexible prongs has an outwardly projecting shoulder portion adapted to retain the male portion in the female portion.
