  • Publication number: 20230358379
    Abstract: A hanging liquid lamp system is provided that enables a vessel containing two or more liquids to be suspended securely from a support structure while providing power to components of the liquid lamp. A heating element is coupled to a bottom portion of the vessel and a logic board is configured to monitor one or more temperature sensors at different locations on or near the liquid lamp to allow for dynamic adjustment of the heat output of the heating element. One or more lighting elements are also provided, which are also able to be dynamically adjusted. The logic board of the liquid lamp system also enables a variety of multimedia and/or Internet of Things (IoT) features.

  • Patent number: 8214969
    Abstract: A layered eraser, comprising: a plurality of eraser layers, comprising at least an innermost eraser layer and an outermost eraser layer; the outermost eraser layer containing the innermost eraser layer; each eraser layer adjacent at least one other eraser layer; each of the eraser layers having an outermost surface. The layered eraser may be adapted to fit about a writing instrument. Each eraser layer adjacent another eraser layer may have different shaped outermost surfaces. Embodiments include different eraser layers in the shapes of simulated space ships, simulated dinosaur heads, and simulated planets. In a preferred embodiment, the plurality of eraser layers comprise an innermost eraser layer, at least one intermediate eraser layer completely surrounding the innermost eraser layer, and an outermost eraser layer completely surrounding the at least one intermediate layer, one or more eraser layers being exposed after at least a portion of the layered eraser is worn away.
