Abstract: The present invention comprises in some embodiments a system for providing digital entertainment content to patron devices located within a location-based business or other establishment comprising: a client server capable of transmitting a listing of available digital entertainment content to said patron devices; and a digital media aggregation server, wherein the digital aggregation media server maintains and provides the listing of available digital entertainment content to the client server. In some aspects, the present invention provides a method of providing aggregated digital entertainment content to patrons of a location-based business or other establishment comprising providing a listing of available digital entertainment content to a patron device; providing selected digital entertainment content to a patron device.

Abstract: The flexible hose of the present invention is crush resistant, burst resistant, and virtually impossible to kink in normal use and is applicable to hoses that are designed for delivering virtually any kind of fluid including water, organic liquids, aqueous based herbicides, aqueous based insecticides, industrial chemicals, beverages, air, industrial gases, vacuum, and the like. The hose design of the present invention is particularly applicable to garden hoses for the delivery of water. In fact, garden hoses having the construction of the present invention are highly resistant to kinking and almost never kink when being used in conventional lawn, garden, and cleaning applications.

Abstract: A flexible hose construction with enhanced levels of kink, crush, and burst resistance. The hose includes an inner tubular member, an outer tubular member, a yarn layer disposed between the inner and outer tubular members, and a plurality of reinforcement strips within the outer tubular member. The reinforcement strips are helically wound with a given pitch about the lumen of the tubular member. The outer tubular member is composed of a first compound containing an olefin block copolymer and a styrene/ethylene-butylene/styrene-based thermoplastic elastomer. The reinforcement strips are composed of a second compound containing a thermoplastic elastomer and a polypropylene homopolymer.
