Abstract: This present application pertains to a toss game consisting of at least two angled boards with a geometrically shaped cut out for the tossed item to fall through. It also consists of a mechanism that will move the geometrically shaped cut out, or opening, in an oscillating geometric motion, thus increasing the skill required to play said toss game.

Abstract: An embodiment of a motor for a speaker is disclosed. The motor comprises a first assembly comprising a first magnet, a second magnet, and a first plate between the first magnet and the second magnet; a second assembly; and a voice coil structure located between the first assembly and the second assembly.

Abstract: An improved speaker design is disclosed. The top and bottom plates in the speaker each contains a recess. These recesses result in gaps in the magnetic field formed in the top and bottom plates. A voice coil is approximately centered in each magnetic gap. As a voice coil moves in and out of the magnetic gap, the total flux passing through the coil remains constant over a wide range of travel, thereby producing a very linear motor force (BL). Optionally, a Faraday ring or a spacer are placed in the recess between adjacent plates.

Abstract: A lighting visualization system and methods for visualizing lighting scenarios for an object is provided. The system includes a graphic user interface for displaying a rendered image of the object, the rendered image representing a selected lighting scenario for the object. The system includes a control panel for indicating a value of parameters associated with the selected lighting scenario, each parameter being associated with at least one light source. The control panel includes a means for adjusting at least one parameter associated with at least one light source, thereby changing the selected lighting scenario. Upon changing the selected lighting scenario, the rendered image is modified and/or replaced. Each rendered image is rendered using a three-dimensional model of the object, one or more high-quality image of the object being utilized for creating the three-dimensional model.

Abstract: I. As shown in FIGS. (1) and (6) the thigh supports wrap the thigh for support and isometric resistance. II. As shown in FIGS. (1), (2) and (3) the abdominal support wraps around the abdominal area for support and sweats away water gain and fat while supporting the back. III. FIG. (3) shows the weights Part (10) for the resistance for the thigh and for upper body workout. IV. FIG. (2) as shown in the drawing of the apparatus, detaches for independent usage. V. This device provides more than one source of resistance. VI. FIGS. (2) and (3) shows that the attachable feature allows the device to interchange with each piece for larger size (thighs or abdominal) supports. VII. Wearing the device without the weights will still provide an isometric exercise. VIII. The comparison property of the device improves circulation, reduces or eliminates varicose veins and cellulite from the legs. IX. The versatility of the apparatus enables it to be used under water for water aerobics. X. FIG.

Abstract: The Hybrid Electric Steam Turbine Automotive Engine is a new and useful type of engine which does not require the internal combustion of Petroleum-Based fuels. The stainless steel casting engine operates on either petroleum-based or non-petroleum-based fuels and will eliminate dependence upon petroleum-based fuel. It will reduce adverse environmental impacts caused by emissions of Green House Gases.

Abstract: The Track Sphere Wheel Assembly is a new and useful automotive product. This invention offers a spherical wheel and tire combination for the 21st Century. The invention will accommodate electric motors at each Track Sphere wheel location for propulsion which eliminates the requirement for heavy steel drivetrains.

Abstract: A steamer attachment (10) allows a user to selectively dispense steam from a steamer (12). The attachment (10) broadly comprises a body (14), a first and second steam distributor (16,18) located in a head (20) of the body (14), and a valve (22) located in a handle (24) of the body (14). The first distributor (16) preferably comprises a nozzle (52) to concentrate the steam and a brush (54). The second distributor (18) preferably comprises a plurality of holes (56) to disperse the steam. The second distributor (18) may also include a detachable diffusor (58) to further disperse the steam. The valve (22) preferably opens a first path toward the first distributor (16) before closing a second path toward the second distributor (18). Thus, the steam always has at least one available path, in order to prevent pressure buildup within the steamer (12).

Abstract: A tool case includes first and second housings pivotal about a central spine to present a book-shaped configuration. Within each housing are walls having a plurality of post-shaped flanges therealong. A tool accessory tray includes a shelf having recesses for a snap fit engagement of the particular tool accessory therein. At the opposed end of the shelves are recesses for slidably seating the flanges therein so as to releasably maintain the tray within the housing. The tray type and number may thus be varied for releasable seating within each housing.

Abstract: An improved pasta maker (20) is provided having an upper mixing chamber (130), lower extrusion chamber (132), and a communicating passageway (157) therebetween. The mixing chamber (130) is an open top vessel, and the extrusion chamber (132) presents an outlet (148) adapted to receive a pasta forming die (188). The pasta maker (20) also includes an apertured slide valve plate (26), a powered, rotatable mixing element (170) within the mixing chamber (130) for mixing of the ingredients therein, and a powered, axially rotatable auger (174) within the extrusion chamber (132) for conveying the ingredients towards and through the die (188).

Abstract: A control circuit is provided preferably for use with a ceiling fan and lamp unit having operating power supplied thereto by way of a wall switch and which allows successive operation of the wall switch to selectively energize the fan and lamp thereby avoiding the need for a separate pull chain. The preferred control circuit is electrically interposed between the wall switch and the fan and lamp unit and includes a sensing circuit for sensing successive applications of operating power from the wall switch and an activating circuit responsive to the sensing circuit for selectively activating the fan and lamp in a plurality of output combinations in predetermined sequence upon successive wall switch operations. In preferred use, the wall switch is successively operated to the on position until the desired load combination is achieved.
