  • Patent number: 6299172
    Abstract: An indoor/outdoor game in which toy pieces are thrown to a target. The toy pieces and target are covered with hook and loop material so that contact of the toy piece and target results in adherence of the toy piece and target. Boundary and point marker pieces are also provided. A high degree of creativity is allowed the player as they can determine target zones, point values of those zones, and target shapes. The target can be collapsed and provided with handles and zipper to form a carrier for the toy pieces and prevent separation of the toy pieces from the game during transportation or storage.

  • Patent number: 6016687
    Abstract: A device using the failure of a material decomposable by ozone to indicate a predetermined ozone exposure. In the preferred embodiment, a plurality of contact rods stretch latex to varying thicknesses to indicate more than one level of ozone exposure upon failure. The device can be made compact and portable, usable as a personal monitor. In an alternative embodiment, material such as rubber in the shape of O-rings is employed as the material decomposable by ozone.

  • Patent number: 5788930
    Abstract: Apparatus for safely deodorizing and purifying an enclosure such as a building structure or vehicle using an ozone generator thereby minimizing the risk of biological exposure and pollutants which trigger environmental illness or allergic reactions. The ozone generator is controlled with an electronic logic circuitry and sensors which automatically regulates ozone exposures to peak at an antiseptic level thereby preventing inadvertent oxidation damage due to over exposure. One embodiment of the apparatus uses an ozone decomposing material to eliminate the harmful residual ozone concentration within the enclosure which is present immediately after an effective ozone treatment. Another embodiment allows for control of the apparatus from outside the enclosure being purified, allowing the operator to alter the outcome of the treatment.
