Abstract: This present invention pertains to a method and apparatus to improve thermal transfer properties of a protective case for a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet computer. The protective mobile device case is optimized for temperature regulation and heat transfer by integrating thermal interface materials into key regions of the protective case where heat transfer to or from heat sensitive components within a mobile device are located.

Abstract: This present invention pertains to a method and apparatus to create a decorative drinking straw that is thermally insulated. Its tube in tube construction protects the decorative content from leaching pigment and chemicals into a beverage. The tube in tube construction also prevents fading, peeling, scratching, and abrasive damage to the decorative content.

Abstract: This present invention pertains to a method and apparatus to take a consumer grade mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet computer with or without a desktop mode and use a protective mobile device case optimized for temperature regulation and heat transfer and couple them to a vehicle or a cart based dock capable of maintaining mobile device operating temperatures when exposed to extreme high or low temperatures seasonally. A temperature control monitors thermally sensitive internal component temperatures within the mobile device and triggers heating or cooling based on preset temperature thresholds designed to protect those components.

Abstract: The present invention relates to dichromic mirrored patterns on fashion eyewear that exhibits variable opacity on the exterior of a photochromic lens in response to changing lighting conditions wherein the pattern can go from virtually transparent to opaque. The dichromic mirror pattern(s) can be coated in multi-color pattern sections and can be coated so that some pattern sections have variable opacity and other pattern sections have a fixed high opacity. The effect can also be produced on an optical film to be applied to many optical surfaces.

Abstract: A Method and system to produce a rugged modular data acquisition tablet computer comprised of a rugged tablet PC that uses a fluid ingress resistant interface plate to attach a data acquisition chassis that accepts attachably detachable expansion modules that provide data acquisition and customized computing functionality.

Abstract: A portable docking accessory that contains an attachably detachable mechanically rigid means for providing a Tablet Pc user a host of I/O interconnect solutions that allows continuous mobile use in an ergonomic and aesthetically appropriate form factor.

Abstract: A dispensing tip apparatus for an eye drop dispenser to administer topical ophthalmic solutions is described. The apparatus integrates an ophthalmic solution-dispensing tip with an optical gauging assembly. The tip provides continuous visual feedback about it orientation and relationship to the eye. The dispensing tip when attached to any standard topical ophthalmic solution dispensing bottle or reservoir enables the user to view a target, visually align the dispenser tip, and administer an eye drop with precision. There is also a visual feedback by which the dispenser tip is prevented from gaining too close proximity and contacting the eye, thus preventing contamination of the medication and its dispenser. The visual feedback can also contain textual or graphic information that serves as a promotional advertisement. The is assembly can be attached to the neck of an eye drop bottle or attached to the tip of an eye drop bottle.

Abstract: The inventive pulsating water pick is used in combination with a pulsating showerhead supplied with pressurized water. The showerhead includes rotatable impeller periodically blocking water flow to a fixed regulator plate having circumferentially spaced apart groups of holes. A rotatable control plate—showerhead ejector face plate therebeneath has at least one opening sized to expose one group of holes. Raised lands limit water flow between adjacent plates and depressed areas lead to peripheral shower holes in a peripheral channel. The control plate rotates and plate openings expose hole groups in one mode, but in another, holes are blocked and water flows to depressed areas and the peripheral shower holes in the peripheral channel. The improved pulsating water pick includes a water passage port formed in the control plate and the showerhead ejector face plate, a coupler thereat leading to a tube, a water pick handle and a pick nozzle.

Abstract: A stealth laser sighting system for a firearm includes a non-visible laser and night imaging device with display. The stealth laser sighting system combines all of the features required for stealth laser sighting within a self-contained accessory. The stealth laser sighting system provides for an optional visible laser system. and can include features such as electronic calibration, laser rangefinder compensation, target zoom, projected graphic laser marking, and windage and elevation adjustments on a graphical overlay. The stealth laser sighting system can be packaged as an accessory or all of the features can be integrated into a firearm.
