Abstract: A set of nestable and stackable cookware, for example, a set of pots and pans, is maintained in a stable configuration by stops attached to the outer walls of the cookware. Each stacked and nested item of cookware is supported on the rim of the lower item by two stops attached to its outer wall, on opposite sides of the item, so that the wall and base of the item is not contacting the lower item. Either or both of the stops include a handle extending outwardly from the stop.

Abstract: A solar disk light has a central body and an annular shelf surrounding the central body and attached to the central body by one or more struts, defining a gap between an inner surface of the annular shelf and the central body. LEDs are disposed on the annular shelf. The central body has solar cells for harvesting solar energy and detecting ambient light. The central body contains a rechargeable battery for storing harvested solar energy, a switch, and wiring and driver electronics for operably connecting the solar cells, battery, switch, and LEDs. A translucent shell is on the disk light body, covering the annular shelf and LEDs, such that light emitted by the LEDs shines through the shell. The shell has an opening for receiving the central body such that the solar cells are not covered by the shell, the shell having an inner wall received in the gap.

Abstract: A lamp has a single, flat, and rigid PCB disposed within a light-scattering cylindrical enclosure. A white set of LEDs is mounted on the faces of the PCB and arranged in a plurality of white rows. A colored set of LEDs is mounted on the two faces and arranged in a plurality of colored rows, the white rows interleaved with the colored rows. A battery rechargeable by solar cell powers the LEDs. Electronic circuitry selectively controls the white LEDs and colored LEDs, the circuitry configured to perform an off mode (white set and colored set are off), an illumination mode (white set is powered on continuously and the colored set is off), and a flame mode (colored LEDs of the colored set are powered on selectively to simulate a flame).

Abstract: A set of nestable and stackable cookware, for example, a set of pots and pans, is maintained in a stable configuration by stops attached to the outer walls of the cookware. Each stacked and nested item of cookware is supported on the rim of the lower item by two stops attached to its outer wall, on opposite sides of the item. Each stop is shaped and configured to contact the rim of the lower item in the stack at a finite number of points. A first stop contacts the lower rim at two points, and a second stop contacts the rim at one or two points. The points of contact lie in the same plane, which uprightly supports the stacked cookware item on the lower cookware item, without the walls or the base of the stacked cookware item touching the lower item.

Abstract: A lamp for illumination or decorative lighting having a lamp unit with a roof portion and a base portion, and a translucent cylindrical enclosure. A single, flat, and rigid PCB is disposed within the enclosure, mounted to the roof portion. A white set of LEDs is mounted on the faces of the PCB and arranged in a plurality of white rows. A colored set of LEDs is mounted on the two faces and arranged in a plurality of colored rows, the white rows interleaved with the colored rows. A battery rechargeable by solar cell powers the LEDs.

Abstract: A paired set of cookware lids is configured to stack on each other and on cookware items. Each lid is configured to cover the other lid, with one lid in the upright position and the other in an inverted position, making it possible to stack both lids on one cookware container, with a first lid covering the container in the inverted position, and the second lid stacked on the first lid in the upright position. The lids are provided with multifunctional rims, having a flat annular shelf an outer rim extending in a perpendicular direction from the upper side of the annular shelf, and an inner rim extends in the opposite perpendicular direction from the lower side of the annular shelf.

Abstract: A tiltable solar disk light has a solar light disk body comprising a disk-shaped housing which houses solar cells, LEDs, a rechargeable battery, a pushbutton switch, and driver electronics configured to deliver power to the LEDs from the battery when the switch is in the ON position and the solar cells are not detecting ambient light and to cut off power to the LEDs when the switch is in the OFF position or the solar cells are detecting ambient light. The disk body is tiltably and rotatably supported in a frame, on a pair of pegs extending from the housing, with enough clearance space about the disk body to permit tilting and rotating within the frame. A landscape spike is optionally connected to the frame by curved arms configured to define a clearance gap between the spike and the frame to permit the disk body to tilt within the frame about the axis of rotation formed by the pegs.
