Abstract: A convective blanket may be converted from an underbody blanket to a combination over body and underbody blanket by having an openable seal positioned substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the blanket away from the head area of the blanket. The seal may be preformed with a line of weakness so that it may readily be separated to form an opening for the head of the patient. The upper portion and the main portion of the blanket may be folded relatively towards each other to cover opposite sides of the patient. Elongate openings are provided in the main portion of the blanket to allow the arms of the patient to extend through the blanket.

Abstract: A hand trowel with an adjustable handle that enables a user to dig in confined spaces that would otherwise be too small to dig. The scoop can be configured in two positions. In the first position the handle is behind the scoop like traditional trowels. In the second position the handle is above the scoop so that it may be used to dig directly beneath the user in confined spaces.

Abstract: A water dispensing device that is so small it fits on a kitchen countertop that provides very accurate measurements of water by using a pressure regulator on water coming in from a typical kitchen water faucet and then using a timer in order to better control the amount of fluid dispensed. In an alternative embodiment, the timer is eliminated and replaced with a flowmeter. The water dispensing device has an interactive panel to allow a user to input how much water to dispense, or to pre-set the device to dispense a specific amount of water at a specific time of day. It is contemplated that this system would be a convenient way to accurately dispense the exact amount of water to fill a particular user's favorite coffee mug, or to assist a small volume baker in quickly and accurately getting just the right of water for a baking recipe, where accuracy is critical.

Abstract: A measuring device providing at least one inlet, at least one outlet, at least one valve, and at least one interactive panel. The inlet and the outlet are in fluid communication with one another. The valve is in fluid communication between the inlet and the outlet. The interactive panel is interfaced with the valve in order for a predetermined amount of fluid to be dispensed from said outlet.
