Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure are directed toward a substrate that flexes from a planar state to a cylindrical state. The substrate is held in the cylindrical state by at least one closure mechanism that includes a plurality of engageable portions and a plurality of insertable portions. The plurality of insertable portions are inserted into the plurality of engageable portions to engage the at least one closure mechanism, and to mitigate withdrawal of the plurality of insertable portions from the plurality of engageable portions.

Abstract: The present invention provides systems and methods for allowing access and retrieval of selected real estate information by a plurality of users, wherein one or more wired or wireless devices are provided in communication with a server database containing real estate information. A software application resides on the server and each device to permit communication between the server and the devices such that the devices are capable of bi-directional communication with the server.

Abstract: A scoring device that can be worn by a participant during a fighting competition to indicate hits to a target area on the participant includes a base shirt and a chest pad. The chest pad is bonded to the base shirt and is made of an elastomeric material to absorb impact energy and thereby protect the participant's chest from opponent blows. A solid, elastomeric target is removably attached to the chest pad using a hook and loop fastening system. A sensor is embedded in the elastomeric target to produce an electrical signal when the target is hit. An indicator responsive to the electrical signal, such as a light or horn, is provided to notify the participants each time the target is hit. A counter can be connected to the sensor to register the number of times the target is hit.
