Abstract: Systems and methods here may include a two armed, spring biased applicator tool. In some examples, the arms may include an approximately 90 degree offset arm with silicone pads to aid in application of false eyelashes. In some examples, the system may include a locking mechanism to hold the two arms together for storage or application.

Abstract: An exemplary aspect comprises an air conditioning apparatus comprising: (a) a controller comprising a microprocessor; (b) a wireless transceiver in communication with the microprocessor and operable to communicate over a wireless network with an application on a mobile device; (c) a compressor controlled by the controller; (d) a fan controlled by the controller; and (e) a front panel that allows a user to interface with the controller. Another exemplary aspect comprises a mobile device comprising a processor and a memory, the memory storing an application that enables a user of the mobile device to adjust settings for an air conditioning apparatus operable to communicate via a wireless network with the mobile device.

Abstract: A pour-over coffee brewer apparatus comprises a base containing a motor that drives a coffee grinder via a set of gear assemblies, a vertical support structure extending upwards from a rear portion of the base, and a horizontal support structure extending out from a top portion of the vertical support structure, the horizontal support structure comprising a grinder for grinding coffee beans and a water dispenser for dispensing water onto ground coffee beans. The set of gear assemblies comprises a first gear assembly in the base, a second gear assembly in the horizontal support structure, and a gear shaft in the vertical support structure that couples the first gear assembly and the second gear assembly.

Abstract: A wine aerator for pouring wine from a wine container such as a wine bottle into a receiver such as a wine glass. The wine aerator has a large mouthed vessel into which the wine is poured from any wine container and the wine passes through the vessel to an outlet having a plurality of radial holes to break up the flow of wine into small discrete flows to carry out the aeration process. The wine aerator has a base that is affixed to the vessel and has a plurality of outwardly extending projections that are dimensioned so as to contact the rim of a wine glass to position the wine aerator atop of the wine glass while the wine aerator is being used. The wine aerator is inexpensively constructed and has no moving parts where leakage could occur.

Abstract: An exemplary aspect comprises an apparatus comprising: a handle; and a body connected to the handle via a rotatable joint; the body comprising a bristle component on a first side and a cloth component on a second side, the bristle component comprising broom bristles and the cloth component configured to accept a cloth, the body rotatable with respect to the handle, between a first position and a second position, the first position placing the broom bristles in contact with a floor surface, and the second position placing the cloth in contact with the floor surface. One or more method embodiments comprise using the apparatus as a broom, with the body in the first position; rotating the body from the first position to the second position; and using the apparatus as a mop, with the body in the second position.
