Abstract: A mobile device connection apparatus, method and system is disclosed which allows a user to physically connect or tether, without the use of adhesive, a mobile device with a case to a user, surface, or structure. The mobile device connection apparatus comprises multiple layers of materials to create a connection point for mobile devices, such as mobile phones, which is compatible with devices with a case, reusable, and robust and prevents mobile devices from being damaged, lost, and stolen. Further the mobile device connection apparatus allows a user to interact with their phone in new ways.

Abstract: A key chain includes a bisected hollow cylinder, one side of the bisected hollow cylinder forming a first side and another side forming a second side. The key chain further includes a first holder, the first holder having a first half cylindrical body, the first holder located inside of the first side of the bisected hollow cylinder, such that a first outer radius of the first holder is coextensive with a first inner radius of the second side when interconnected. The key chain further includes a second holder, the second holder having a second half cylindrical body, the second holder located inside of the second side of the bisected hollow cylinder, such that a second outer radius of the second holder is coextensive with a second inner radius of the first side when interconnected.

Abstract: An adjustable securement device which retains and secures items of personal property without slippage. The device includes an elastic band, an at least one sliding cinch, and a lanyard attachment mechanism. The elastic band is used to firmly secure and hold the item. The sliding cinch includes a constricting body and a strap-receiving hole. The strap-receiving hole traverses through the constricting body. The elastic band is slidably positioned within the strap-receiving hole to position the body of the elastic band adjacent to itself in order to create two separate loops. The first loop is positioned around the item and constricted tightly by sliding the sliding cinch adjacent to the item, thus securing and holding the item. The second loop is used to attach the lanyard attachment mechanism to the elastic band. The lanyard attachment mechanism is coupled to the elastic band and allows the device to attach to external structures.

Abstract: A device holder includes a body portion, the body portion having a surface, a first gripping plate and a second gripping plate, each of the first and second gripping plates including a holding surface approximately perpendicular to the surface, a first lever and a second lever, each first and second lever coupled to the body portion at a pivot point via a spring and rotationally movable at the pivot points, and further includes a first sliding bracket coupled to the first gripping plate and a second sliding bracket coupled to the second gripping plate. The first lever is coupled to the first sliding bracket via a first aperture above the pivot point and a second aperture below the pivot point. The second lever is coupled to the second sliding bracket via a third aperture above the pivot point and a fourth aperture below the pivot point.

Abstract: A method for selecting a mode/color on a lighting module, the lighting module having only a single button includes: receiving a first actuation of the single button at the lighting module. The method further includes responsive to the first actuation, turning the device on and displaying a first mode/color. The method further includes detecting that the single button is held down. The method further includes displaying a plurality of modes/colors in a timed sequence, such that each mode/color of the plurality of modes/colors is displayed for a preset time period. The method further includes detecting that the single button is released. The method further includes displaying a selected mode/color of the plurality of modes/colors that was displayed when the single button was released.

Abstract: A slider garage includes an overmolded body, the overmolded body oriented on a zipper, the overmolded body including an overmolded male portion and an overmolded female portion, the overmolded male and female portions positioned on an end of the zipper, such that each is on one side of the zipper, the overmolded male portion being shaped such that it fits in the overmolded female portion in a watertight fashion and the overmolded body is molded over a portion of the zipper.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a carabiner that includes a carabiner body forming an opening having a width, the carabiner body including a gate rest notch, a gate rest and a long side, with the opening opposite the long side. The carabiner further includes a pivotable gate coupled to the carabiner body at a pivotable point and adapted to contact the gate rest notch when in a closed position. The opening includes a first side and a second side, the first side including a first angle that is non-perpendicular to the long side of the carabiner body and the second side including a second angle that is non-perpendicular to the long side of the carabiner body.
