Abstract: The invention relates conventionally to footwear, including, but not limited to any category or style footwear. The invention specifically involves footwear with interchangeable (top) component, interchangeable (bottom) component, as well as the (connective) component between the (top) & (bottom) components. Simply put, by taking modern footwear and separating the footwear around or above the ankle region would give you a top (portion/component) and the bottom (portion/component). The present inventions connective component is the conceptual foundation of the invention, this connective component enables the ability to quickly (connect/disconnect) the upper component and lower component as desired to meet any possible style, design, utility, or purpose. The invention's ability to change/adjust footwear for ones needs can quickly save time, money and space. The invention is intended for versatility at half the expense.

Abstract: Tub-its decorative covers for plastic grocery store food tubs and/or plastic bottles are designed to transform the use and appearance of the food tubs. They are light-weight, and fit snugly over the tubs/bottles so that tubs/bottles can now creatively match décor for home, picnic, camping, sandbox, and other fun areas. This means they can hold fruit, soap bars, plants, dinner rolls, flowers and so much more. The lip on the top rim allows for use of the tub/bottle lid if desired.

Abstract: Methods of enhancing performance of a semi-permeable filtration membrane such as a polyamide R.O. membrane. A water soluble polymer is brought into contact with the membrane structure and is characterized by the Formula I wherein E is a repeat unit remaining after polymerization of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer or mixtures thereof; R1 is hydrogen or C1-C4 alkyl; R2 is C1-C6 alkyl, C1-C6 alkylene, di-hydroxy substituted C1-C6 alkyl, di-hydroxy substituted C1-C6 alkylene, aryl, or mixtures thereof; n is 0 to about 100; R3 is OH, SO3Z OSO3Z, PO3Z2, OPO3Z2, CO2Z, or mixtures thereof; Z is hydrogen or a water-soluble cation; and the mole ratio c:d ranges from about 30:1 to 1:20 respectively.
