Abstract: A device includes a first element coupled with a fabric and a second element coupled with an electronic device. It is essential that one of the two elements have a magnetic charge and that the other element be attractive to the magnetically charged element. The first element and the second element are magnetically attracted. The first element may be a magnet and/or comprise a ferromagnetic material, and the second element may be either (a.) present a magnet charge that is attractive to the first element and/or (b.) comprise a ferromagnetic material that is magnetically attracted to the first element.

Abstract: A method and device are provided that include a support structure encased within a stuffed toy, wherein at least one of the extremities of the structure allow a user to position a portable electronic device. The portable electronic device may render digitized audio files and/or digitized video files. Versions of the toy may include a shell or case disposed between the portable device and the support structure; audio speakers; an electric battery; one or more solar energy panels that charge the battery; an electric cord that enables charging the battery from a landline power socket; a device power cord that delivers electrical power from the battery to a device; ear buds that may couple with the portable electronic device; and one or more audio speakers that emit sound derived from the portable electronic device.

Abstract: A surgical device and method for fixation of a tissue graft into a bone is disclosed. A strand is coupled with the tissue graft. A guide wire is coupled with the strand. The tissue graft is positioned within a socket of the bone and a cannulated screw is driven along the guide wire and into the bone socket to form an interference fixation of the tissue and the tissue graft. The strand attached to the tissue graft is retracted from the bone socket through a strand aperture of the socket. The guide wire is then removed from the bone socket. A loop may be transposed between, and coupling, the tissue graft and the strand. The guide wire may alternatively be coupled with the loop and/or the strand. The tissue graft may be a tendon tissue or a bone-tendon-bone graft.

Abstract: A lint removal device is provided. A first version provides a compactly designed, flexible and portable substrate having an adhesive disposed on an outer surface. The first version allows a user to insert one and up to four fingers into a channel and contact therein an inner surface of the substrate. A modification of the first version includes layers of protective sheeting interposed between layers of adhesives, whereby the first device provides consecutively available layers of adhesives for multiple use occasions. A second version allows the tips of the user's fingers to extend fully through and be exposed during use of the device, whereby the device may roll about the user's fingers as the user's fingers pass across and press against a fabric or textile sheet. A third version includes a thumb hole, where the substrate is shaped to substantially shaped to enclose the user's palm and four fingers when in use, and the user's thumb extends through the thumb hole.
