Abstract: A mechanical footbath device that includes a body that has a base and a basin within which water can be contained. Within the basin is a bottom level formed therein. The body has a top level and side walls extending up from the bottom level. The footbath has a heater to heat the water placed within the footbath. Located on the bottom level of the footbath can be several massaging members to massage a body part, such as a foot. The massaging members can be made to be interchangeable with other members of different textures or patterns for a wide variety of massaging sensations and can be made to spin clockwise or counterclockwise. The footbath can include a control panel in the form of a body control panel having several buttons to control the various features of the footbath.

Abstract: A method for determining and displaying the status of a user selectable parameter associated with a song stored in a digital audio player. The method allows a handheld player that has limited computing power to easily determine the status of the user selectable features and display the status. The method includes generating a preference table that is stored in a mass storage device associated with the player. The preference table includes an entry for each selected song stored on the mass storage device, wherein each entry includes a unique identifier and data fields having data indicative of the status of the user selectable parameters. The unique identifiers correspond to the unique identifiers stored in a playlist file. During navigation of the playlist, the unique identifier is compared with the preference table to identify the corresponding entry and the applicable data field is read to determine the status of the user selectable parameters and to display the status information.

Abstract: A hair-straightening device has a handle, a barrel, a spoon and a thumb rest. The barrel is comprised of an upper barrel and a lower barrel. The thumb rest includes a spoon lock that enables a user to choose between using the hair device as a hair-straightening appliance or as a curling iron. When the thumb rest is in a pulled back position, the spoon lock is disengaged from the barrel connector and upper barrel. As such, as the thumb rest is depressed, the hinge pivots about its axis, causing the spoon to open with respect to the barrel. The user can then operate the device as a curling iron. When the thumb rest is in the forward position, the spoon lock engages the barrel connector, which is connected to the upper barrel end. As the user depresses the thumb rest, the barrel connector and upper barrel end pivot about the hinge. This causes the entire upper barrel to open, rather than just the spoon. The user can then operate the device as a straightening iron.

Abstract: A multiple heat and hair flow setting styling device comprises a handle portion, a barrel portion for curling and styling hair that is vented to permit the outflow of air that may be optionally heated, and a motor, fan and heater element mounted within the handle portion and/or barrel portion in order to allow a relatively small diameter handle.
