Abstract: Devices or sockets having multi-sided outer surfaces are disclosed herein. An exemplary device can include an outer surface comprising multiple outer sides; an inner surface comprising multiple inner sides; a first end portion; a second end portion opposite the first end portion; a first recess extending from the first end portion toward the second end portion; and a second recess extending from the second end portion toward the first end portion. The second recess can include a cross-sectional dimension smaller than the cross-sectional dimension of the first recess. The device can be a hexagonal socket. In some embodiments, individual sockets are stackable on and within one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to a volatile composition dispenser. The volatile composition dispenser comprises a sealed reservoir containing a volatile composition, a membrane surrounding at least part of the sealed reservoir, and a rupture mechanism formed of a single piece of plastic located between the membrane and the sealed reservoir. The rupture mechanism comprises a support, and a movable portion attached to the support at a proximal end of the movable portion by at least one connection member. The connection member has a depth less than the depth of the movable portion and/or a width less than the width of the movable portion. One or more rupture elements are located at a distal end of the movable portion, wherein the distal end of the movable portion is movable relative to the support upon activation. Upon activation of the rupture mechanism, the one or more rupture elements are moved into contact with the reservoir such that they puncture the reservoir to release the volatile composition.

Abstract: A wearable swing training aid for golfers, for use in association with a golf swing which includes a take-away portion and an impact, to follow through portion. The aid has a guide to guide one arm of said golfer during said take-away portion of said golf swing and a limiter to limit movement of the other arm of the golfer past the golfers body during the follow through portion of the golf swing. An adjustable belt is used for securing and positioning the guide and the limiter of the swing training aid onto the body of a golfer. The guide and the limiter are positioned to cause said golfer to move said arms in a controlled manner through said golf swing to thereby limit the position of the golfer through the golf swing to mimic an preferred golf swing. A further aspect of the invention is a method of using the wearable swing training aid to learn a preferred golf swing.

Abstract: A user wearable wire control system and associated processes that can be utilized to control a dangling wire along a user's body. The user wearable wire control system includes a first layer and second layer that are configured to form a sleeve with a hollow portion disposed therein. The sleeve is adapted to encase a least a portion of a wire. The sleeve includes a first aperture at a first end portion configured to allow at least a portion of the wire to enter the sleeve and a second aperture at a second end portion configured to allow at least a portion of the wire to exit the sleeve. As such, a wire that would otherwise dangle loosely along the body of a user may be at least partially encased in the sleeve and may reduce the danger and/or inconvenience of a dangling wire.

Abstract: A directional coupler sensor is provided for measuring the moisture content of a substrate, such as hair. The sensor incorporates a high frequency directional coupler having a pair of generally parallel plates defining a coupling gap therebetween. A high frequency signal generator generates an electromagnetic field across the gap with the substrate placed across the coupling gap. The coupled power relates to the moisture content of the substrate. A pressure sensor is provided to ensure that the desired compactness of the substrate across the coupling gap is achieved to obtain accurate, reliable and consistent results.

Abstract: A tray for use in an automobile which is fitted on its underside with folding legs, of a size when extended to mount the tray on the floor inside a vehicle over the hump of the transmission shaft. The legs are each fitted with a projecting bracket which supports the ends of the tray in the extended position of the legs, with said brackets shaped to fit about the hump of a transmission shaft when the legs are folded so that the tray may rest directly on the said hump.
