Abstract: A disposable drain strainer is removably received within a drain opening having an adjacent drain rim substrate. The strainer has a strainer portion, a ring portion, and a seal release mechanism. Top and bottom surfaces of the ring portion are adapted to sealingly engage the drain rim substrate. The seal release mechanism is integral with the ring portion, and facilitates release of the seal so that the strainer can be readily be removed from the sink and discarded. In one aspect, the seal release mechanism comprises a tab. In another aspect, the seal release mechanism comprises a press-release component, wherein the ring portion has arced ring walls having convex and concave configurations. During sealing engagement with the drain rim, the ring portion is in the convex configuration. Pressure applied to the ring portion causes it to move to the concave configuration.

Abstract: A universal, cuttable clip-on auxiliary lens system and method of assembly provides cut-able auxiliary lenses which are universally sized through custom tailoring to fit virtually any prescription eyeglasses lenses. The universal, cuttable clip-on auxiliary lens system includes a material sheet having a first lens portion, a lens mounting member and a second lens portion. The first and second lens portions are adapted to be traced upon to form a traced outline of a pair of prescription eyeglass lenses. Sizing of the first and second lens portions is achieved by cutting along the traced outline so that the lenses are tailored to optimally cover the lenses of the eyeglasses. The tailored auxiliary eyewear is removably mounted on the prescription eyeglasses by way of the lens member mounting device. The auxiliary eyewear offers effortless mounting and custom tailoring while providing a lightweight construction that can be worn with comfort over extended periods of time.

Abstract: A humidifier utilizes a plurality of disposable filters and air from a source of heated air flow emanating from a floor, wall, or ceiling. The humidifier provides an energy efficient device comprising a container having a water reservoir formed from an inner support portion, a plurality of tunnels for transporting heated air throughout the container, and a plurality of evaporation filters. The evaporation filters extend into the water reservoir so that water is absorbed onto the filters by way of capillary action. The humidifier is appointed to be placed proximate to a source of heated air so that water absorbed by the evaporation filters evaporates into the heated air and is diffused into a room.

Abstract: A toilet tissue holder and dispenser has an uncomplicated, space efficient, configuration that houses a plurality of toilet tissues, which are readily accessible by a user. A first portion of the dispenser has side walls with an elongated aperture and an interior compartment. A second portion of the dispenser is attached to the first portion. The dispenser has a dispenser portion, a plurality of dispenser rod portions, and a lid portion having a lip adapted for tearing toilet tissue as the toilet tissue exits the interior of the device. Large quantities of toilet tissue can be housed within the toilet tissue holder and dispenser, thereby resulting in less frequent re-stocking of the device. Tissue re-loading is achieved with minimal interruption of tissue delivery.

Abstract: A precision irrigator system and process comprises a reflector plate having a center and an outer perimeter. The reflector plate is composed of a malleable material that can be contoured by a user to compensate for irregularities in the land area to be irrigated. At least one attachment means is secured to the reflector plate. The attachment means is adapted to connect the reflector plate to an irrigator or sprinkler system that operates to provide water to terrain having the irregular areas. By contouring and adjusting the reflector plate, the user can accommodate changes in the vegetative area's lawn shape or irregular lawn portions. The reflector plate is readily adjusted by the user so that water from the sprinkler comes into intimate contact with the outer perimeter of the reflector plate, and is deflected onto the ground. Bending or otherwise adjusting the reflector plate brings varied amounts of water from the sprinkler into contact therewith, deflecting the water into the vegetative area.

Abstract: This air conditioning apparatus having sterilization function which can maintain the sterilization function for a long time period. The air conditioning apparatus having a sterilization function comprises a sterilizing coating layer formed on the surface of a component, wherein the sterilizing coating layer has copper or copper alloy particles dispersed in a resin matrix. The coating layer is formed by dispersing fine copper or copper alloy particles having a maximum particle size of about 2.5 ?m or less into an epoxy or epoxy-acryl synthetic resin, and covered on the surface of a component of the air conditioning apparatus such as a heat exchanger. The maximum content of the copper or copper alloy particles in the coating layer is preferably about 18 to 31 wt %. The thickness of the coating layer is preferably less than the maximum size of the particle.
