Abstract: A portable utility light comprises a first housing portion, a second housing portion, and a light-emitting source disposed in the second housing portion. The first housing portion has a first end rotatively coupled by a joint to a first end of the second housing portion. The first housing portion is rotatable about the first end of the second housing portion to a first position and a second position. The light-emitting source is electrically coupled to a power supply by an activation switch. The first housing portion is configured to at least partially cover the light-emitting source when disposed in the first position. The first housing portion is configured to support the second housing portion and the light-emitting source in an upright bearing when disposed in the second position.

Abstract: A light assembly, comprising: a translucent housing; an inner wall disposed in the translucent housing, the inner wall and the translucent housing defining an inner cavity; a plurality of light emitting diodes electrically coupled to a power source; a switch for electrically connecting and disconnecting the plurality of light emitting diodes to the power source and activating an operating mode including sequential flashing of the plurality of light emitting diodes, the plurality of light emitting diodes and the power source being disposed in the inner cavity; and a removable base configured to be secured to the inner wall, the removable base defining a bottom portion of the housing, the switch being located in the removable base.

Abstract: A cleaning implement is disclosed that provides multiple functions useful in cleaning windows and similar surfaces. There is a support head that has three sides, one being a cleaning liquid applicator side and two presenting an absorbent sheet. The liquid applicator side can apply a cleaning liquid to a surface to be cleaned and optionally can provide scrubbing to the surface. The sheet can perform rough drying followed by finish drying, and/or other functions. Replacement liquid applicator cartridges and replacement sheets, or stacks of sheets, are also disclosed.

Abstract: A cleaning implement for removing particulate soils from a compressible resilient surface is provided. The cleaning implement includes a ramp for pressing particulates against the compressible resilient surface and a collection member for collecting the particulates which are projected away from the compressible resilient surface when the cleaning implement is moved across the compressible resilient surface.

Abstract: A hand covering worn by a user has one or more input gesture features for enabling the user to effectively make input gestures for manipulating a small device without requiring removal of the hand covering. In a preferred embodiment, at least one instance of conductive material is provided for effectively transferring a required amount of charge between the user and a capacitive interface of the device.
