Abstract: The present invention is directed to an apparatus for providing a light reflector, light fixture, light fixture retrofit apparatus, lamp reflector, lamp retrofit apparatus or luminaire reflector retrofit. According to an example embodiment of the disclosed invention, a light reflector is provided that includes annular segments nested as cone-shaped layers configured for reflecting light from a light source placed in proximity to the inner cone portion. The two or more nested cone-shaped annular segments include a reflective surface. The cone-shaped annular segments are configured such that the segment layer having the smallest aperture is located farthest from the light source.

Abstract: The present invention consists of a flat, rectangular metal frame that would measure approximately 5 feet long. The front of the frame would be fitted with a pair of handles or handgrips that would be connected on top of the padded elbow. The padded elbow and knee rests would roll back and forth along the frame. The knee rest would include a variable resistance mechanism that could be adjusted to make it harder to move the knee rest. The user would place the machine on the floor, kneel down on the knee rest, lean forward on their elbows and hold the handgrips with their elbows on the elbow rest, and exercise by using his abdominal muscles to move the elbow and knee rests back and forth along the frame. As the user pulls the knee rest up toward the handgrips, his abdominal muscles would contract and receive a good workout.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for recording telephone conversations. In one embodiment, a telephone conversation between two or more parties is recorded and the recording of the conversation can be stopped without terminating or effecting the communication between the parties. Any of the parties to the conversation may request that the conversation be recorded or terminate the recording of that conversation. The party initiating the recording of the conversation may request the playback of the recorded conversation provided that party has playback service. If one of the parties requests that the conversation be recorded, then the non-recording parties (i.e., the one or more parties not requesting that the conversation be recorded) are notified that the conversation is being recorded if the applicable law at the location of the non-recording parties mandates that the non-recording parties be notified that the conversation is being recorded.
