Abstract: The present invention provides for a shaving device and more specifically, to a portable shaving apparatus designed to look like a cosmetic container.

Abstract: The present invention provides for aa food container designed to fit onto a cup, the container comprises a bottom and sidewalls extending from the bottom, the sidewalls having an upper end, the upper end of the sidewalls folds to form an extended portion and forms an open topside leading to a compartment, and the extended portion comprises a lower end forming a lip, the sidewalls and the extended portion forming a cavity on an underside of the container, and the upper end of the side walls of the container comprising an opening leading to the cavity.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a container system comprising a drink and food cup with a hinged lid and sidewalls formed by double wall construction with compartments.

Abstract: An audio speaker comprises three modules stacked on one another to form a tower. The bottom module generates a magneto-strictive output that is coupled to the structure on which the bottom module stands to cause audio signal radiation from that structure. The top module has an upwardly facing cone speaker that radiates audio signals primarily in the upper audio frequency range. These two audio signal radiations combine to provide a more comprehensive frequency range signal than is normally obtained at the small size of the tower. An intermediate module plays media such as an audio card. The modules are releasably held together by embedded magnets in the adjacent facing surfaces of the modules. Signal information is transmitted between modules by terminals on adjacent facing surfaces. The upwardly facing surface has a set of recessed spring loaded upwardly extending terminals. The mating terminals on the downwardly facing surface are flush with the surface contact terminals.

Abstract: A portable media reproduction system preferably includes a housing with an attached docking component for receiving a portable media player, the docking component being recessed into the housing when in a closed position such that the first side forms a uniformly substantially flat surface. A latch is provided for holding the docking component in the closed position, and a connector connects to the portable media player. The connector is positioned on the docking component to receive the portable media player when the docking component is in an open position. A base component is recessed into the second side of the housing when in a closed position such that the second side of the housing forms a uniformly substantially flat surface. The base component is extendable into an open position such that the it supports the portable media reproduction system in a substantially upright position.

Abstract: A ferrofluid based magnetic seal, comprising at least one gasket, the at least one gasket comprising a flexible, closed cell material, such as, without limitation, neoprene, polyvinylchloride, or plastic, and a ferrofluid core; a first housing, wherein a first face of the first housing is designed to receive at least a portion of the gasket; a second housing, wherein a first face of the second housing is designed to receive at least a portion of at least one magnet; and wherein the at least one magnet is positioned such that when the first housing and the second housing are in close proximity, the at least one magnet is positioned substantially along the length of the at least one gasket.

Abstract: An audio speaker has a speaker surround integral with a covering or underlayer for the speaker housing. A flexible coating on the speaker housing, preferably a synthetic elastomer formed by an overmold process, at least partially covers an opening therein. A cone or other radiator may be attached to the coating in the region that it covers the opening leaving a portion of the coating to act as a speaker surround for the radiator, which may form an active or passive speaker driver.

Abstract: A system for facilitating wireless communication between an accessory and a device comprising a device capable of converting at least an audio signal into a signal transmittable by a wireless communication means; a wireless communication means associated with the device capable of transmitting the converted signal; an accessory, including a docking cradle comprising a plurality of pins, wherein at least one pin on the docking cradle is capable of receiving an audio signal; and an adaptor capable of communicatively coupling with the accessory's docking cradle, the adaptor being capable of receiving the transmission from the wireless communication means associated with the device and converting the signal into an audio signal that can be received by the accessory via the docking cradle.
