Abstract: The present invention relates to an item holder apparatus and methods of using the same. Specifically, the present invention comprises a rollable sheet of gripping material that is capable of rolling or otherwise wrapping around an item to be carried by a user. Specifically, the item holder apparatus comprises a first wing and a second wing of flat, flexible gripping material having fasteners disposed thereon, wherein said first and second wings are capable of rolling or wrapping around an item to be carrier. Further, the item holder apparatus comprises a flat portion extending away from the first and second wings and having an aperture therein for holding a ring, clip, carabiner, or other connector. The item holder apparatus resiliently holds an item within the same and allows the same to be usefully accessible for a user thereof.

Abstract: A system switches multiple broadcast signals from satellite and cable for transmission through a single coaxial cable to television receivers while managing use of the broadcast signals through telephony signal insertion and passage of a telephony signal and an RF signal on the single coax between a multiswitch and a triplexer operable with the receiver. A telephony interface operates with the multiswitch through a data access arrangement (DM) device for bringing outside telephone signals to the multiswitch. The triplexer includes a subscriber line interface circuit (SLIC) for providing telephony information to the receiver. The multiswitch and telephony interface route telephony information to the receiver.
