Abstract: An assembly for gating a truck load bed, the truck load bed having a laterally extending rear opening, the assembly incorporating a tailgate fitted for receipt within the load bed's rear opening, the tailgate incorporating a hollow bored lower member having an arcuately curved upper wall; the assembly further incorporating a camera case having an open lower end which is angularly mounted upon the hollow bored lower member's arcuately curved upper wall; the assembly further incorporating a camera cable passage port opening the hollow bored lower member at the arcuately curved upper wall, wherein the camera cable passage port communicates with the camera case's open lower end.

Abstract: A sticker kit configured for use in custom decorating party ware items, including tableware items, such as plates, on which food can be served. Related embodiments include a method for producing such a sticker kit and a method for producing customized party ware using such a sticker kit. In one embodiment, the sticker kit includes at least one food grade safe decorative sticker that is formatted or configured (in size and shape) to be secured over the surface of a corresponding plate, bowl, platter or other tableware item for contact with food being served thereon. A do-it-yourself (“DIY”) user can apply the stickers to stock party ware items of any color or style selected by the DIY user to create custom decorated party ware.

Abstract: A device for extracting zest from a fruit includes a body, a carrier coupled to the body, and a blade coupled to the body. The carrier moves the fruit relative to the blade and holds the fruit as the blade separates a portion of the flavedo from the pith of the fruit's peel to extract zest from the fruit. The device also includes an arm that urges the blade against the fruit's peel to generate contact pressure as the carrier moves the fruit relative to the blade, and that allows the blade to move toward and away from the carrier to accommodate the contour of the fruit's peel, which is often curved. The blade includes a plurality of teeth, each configured to cut a portion of the fruit's flavedo from the fruit's pith without separating the pith from the berry.

Abstract: An open hole food grater is provided. A hole is etched into the blade such that a cutting angle is formed with the plane of the cutting surface and the point at which the same meets the hole. This design of the open hole food grater not only increases the efficiency of food grating by allowing the use of the same in two cutting directions, it also eliminates all protrusions from the plane of the cutting surface. This substantially reduces any chance of a user being cut by coming into contact with the plan of the food cutting surface of the grater.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a computer software framework and method for accessing data from a datastore. The invention discloses a framework for accessing data from a datastore. The framework is comprised of a datatable comprising data retrieved from a datastore. A first class object, a second class object, and a third class object populated with columns of data from the datatable, and the second class object is referenced by the first class object and the third class object is referenced by the second class object. A hashtable is used to cache the first, second, and third class objects such that the first class object is stored as a key in the hashtable and the second and third class objects are the corresponding value of that key in the hashtable. The method for accessing data from a datastore comprises creating a datatable comprising data retrieved from a datastore. A first class object, a second class object, and a third class object are populated with columns of data from the datatable.

Abstract: A communication devise for a computer is disclosed. The device is a mouse including conventional operational buttons and supplemental buttons which function similarly to the conventional buttons. The supplemental buttons are positioned adjacent to and behind the conventional buttons, and are useful for operators having small hands, such as children. The supplemental buttons may be recessed as compared to the conventional buttons. Alternatively, a software program in the computer or electrical or mechanical switches may lock out one or more buttons which are not intended for use by the operator.
