Abstract: Ear-fitting headphone attachment apparatus, systems that utilize the aforementioned attachment apparatus, and methods of its manufacture and use. In one aspect, an attachment apparatus is disclosed. In one embodiment, the attachment apparatus includes a coiled wire having an interference dimension. The coiled wire includes an attachment point for the attachment of a decorative item. In another embodiment, the attachment apparatus includes an extruded or injection molded tube of material. A pair of wires wraps around the tube of material in opposite direction, the pair of wires residing around an outside perimeter of the tube of material and entering into the tube of material where it exits at a bottom portion of the tube of material. In yet another embodiment, the attachment apparatus includes a woven textile having a crosshatch pattern associated therewith. In yet another embodiment, the attachment apparatus includes thin metal strips that collectively have a crosshatch pattern associated therewith.

Abstract: Travel pillow apparatus, storage apparatus for the travel pillow apparatus, and methods of manufacture and use. In one embodiment, the travel pillow apparatus, includes an external covering, the external covering including upper and lower support structures; an air bladder apparatus that includes an expandable open-cell foam within an interior of the air bladder apparatus. The air bladder apparatus is further shorter in length than the external covering, such that the air bladder apparatus is not intended to be positioned towards the back of a neck of a user that is utilizing the travel pillow apparatus. A storage apparatus with a one-way expulsion valve for storage of, for example, the aforementioned travel pillow apparatus. Methods of manufacturing and using the aforementioned apparatus are also disclosed.

Abstract: Radiation curable, sprayable compositions are disclosed that include (a) an acrylated epoxy, and (b) at least one multi-functional acrylate monomer. The radiation curable, sprayable compositions of the invention include a material containing an amino group. Also disclosed are multi-layer composite coatings wherein at least one layer is deposited from such compositions.

Abstract: A process for providing a uniform coating of one hundred percent solids material on a substrate and a substrate having a uniform coating of one hundred percent solids material. Process parameters are controlled to provide for a sprayable, curable coating of one hundred percent solids material that can be used to coat three dimensional surfaces and provide a uniform thin film layer across all areas of the three dimensional surface.
