Abstract: A stringed seasonal light storage device allows stringed seasonal lights to be maintained on a structure and alternatively positioned to be displayed extending from a housing or obscured by positioning within the housing. The device includes a base having a rear face, a pair of sidewalls and an open bottom. Each of a pair of laterally aligned slots extends the sidewalls to receive a light string therein positioning a light between the sidewalls and pivotable between a display position and a storage position. A cover coupled to the base is pivotable between an open position and a closed position to permit moving of the light between the display position and the storage position and inhibit movement of the light between the storage position and the display position when the cover is in the closed position.

Abstract: A mobile hydraulic lift comprises a trailer having a frame configured for towing behind a vehicle. The frame includes a longitudinally extending frame member with telescoping end portions on front and rear ends of the frame member. The front end telescoping portion includes a ball hitch connector and a jackstand for supporting the front end of the longitudinally extending frame member when it is disconnected from the vehicle. The rear end telescoping portion also includes a jackstand. The frame also includes a transversely extending frame member with telescoping end portions on opposing ends of the transversely extending frame member. Each telescoping end portion of the transversely extending frame member carries a wheel.

Abstract: An ornamental device is disclosed, including a substantially vertical axis, and a plurality of substantially concentric ring-shaped members. The plurality of ring-shaped members may include a first group of rings having a scalloped outline, at least one ring having a smooth outline, and a second group of rings having a scalloped outline. The plurality of substantially concentric ring-shaped members form vertical planes that are angularly offset from one another and that intersect one another substantially along the vertical axis of the device, giving the device a three-dimensional shape. The device may be adapted to rotate about the vertical axis to present interesting, moving visual effects to an observer.

Abstract: A system and method for transmitting wireless energy between two or more components housed within a faraday-like cage structure. In one preferred form a cooling plenum of an equipment rack supporting a plurality of independent components is used for transmitting wireless signals between the components. In another form a wireless backplane is formed in an equipment rack that houses a plurality of LRUs. In another example a card file housing a plurality of components forms a faraday-like cage for enabling transmission of wireless signals, either electromagnetic wave or optical signals, between various circuit boards held within the card file. The various preferred embodiments eliminate the need for expensive, bulky and heavy electrical or optical cabling to be used to intercouple the components supported within the support structure for communication.

Abstract: The present invention provides apparatuses and methods for removably attaching a utensil to an external surface, The utensil includes an adhesive arrangement that secures the utensil to the external surface and a protective covering that prevents the adhesive arrangement from binding to the external surface until the protective covering is removed by a user. The user may remove the utensil from the external surface and subsequently return the utensil to be in contact with the external surface. The present invention supports different types of utensils, including plates, cups, bowls, and tablecloths.
