Abstract: A headphone and earbud device for receiving an audio signal may include a headphone including a speaker acoustic device to amplify the audio signal and to define a speaker chamber to cooperate with an aperture and an earbud to be detachably connected to the speaker chamber to transmit the audio signal to the speaker chamber.

Abstract: A wire carrier is provided herein, which can include a length of insulative material, wherein the insulative material comprises one or more wire-retaining features, wherein the one or more wire-retaining features include at least one predetermined arrangement of notches in the insulative material, and wherein the one or more wire-retaining features enable retention of at least one wire in at least one predetermined, non-linear pattern.

Abstract: In accordance with example embodiments of the present disclosure, the invention allows effective sending and receiving of radio signals commonly associated with those sent and received by antennas. The utility of the invention includes a versatile antenna wire comprised of an embedded formed electrical conductor within a protective, non-electrically conductive sheath or structural element that facilitates shorter-than-typical antenna designs. The versatile antenna wire can facilitate antenna radiators that are up to 80 percent shorter than traditional wire radiators—while still providing exceptional operating characteristics. In some embodiments, the antenna wire is a specifically contoured conductive material. Electrically conductive material may be wire; metalized tape; metalized foil; electrically conductive polymer; or conductive ink or coating.

Abstract: The present invention is a device and method that allows a baseball player to scientifically select the optimum bat for maximum hitting performance. A baseball player need only swing and hit a supported target, and note the relative energy imparted to the target. By repeating this same simple test using as many bats as the ballplayer would like to examine, and noting the highest relative energy imparted to the target, the optimum baseball bat for him or her is determined.

Abstract: Nutritional, health-beneficial, environmentally friendly condiment and preparation method that is made almost entirely from Ipomoea batatas, a root vegetable commonly known as sweet potato. No mainstream condiment has sweet potato as its primary ingredient. The invention's formulaic simplicity is also unique and unobvious. The entire sweet potato—including the root vegetable's skin—is used in the new condiment's production. Doing so imparts distinct and pleasurable flavor, texture, and color; maximizes the new condiment's nutrition and health benefits; reduces processing time, energy, and labor; and eliminates production waste.

Abstract: The portable, wearable, proximal Alzheimer's disease treatment invention is based upon creating an RF field of particular frequencies and intensities that are applied to the patient's head.
