Abstract: An item of jewelry is provided to receive a fragrance composition. The jewelry piece includes a securement member, a setting, and a piece of porous material. The securement member supports the setting and enables the jewelry item to be worn by the person in the manner in which it is intended. In some embodiments, the setting supports the piece of porous material relative to the securement member such that ambient air may flow between it and the securement member, maximizing the exposed surface area of the porous material. The porous material is a ceramic that contains sintered aluminum oxide and receives a liquid fragrance producing composition such as perfume or cologne. A method for applying the fragrance to the piece of porous material is also provided and includes the step of washing the porous material with a solvent suitable to diffuse the carrier liquid of the fragrance producing composition.

Abstract: A toilet training system and method which includes a plurality of sheets with patterns adapted to dissolve when contacted with urine, at least one chart for recording the child's use of a toilet, instruction for positioning one of the sheets in the toilet such that the patterned sheet is contacted by the child's urine and therefore dissolves, and instructions for recording the child's toilet training progress on the provided chart. Optionally receiving means are positioned in the toilet to hold the sheet out of the water and in line with the child's urine stream. The sheet is preferably formed of carboxymethyl cellulose and sized to dissolve when contacted with 30 cc of urine. In the preferred embodiment this toilet training system and associated method of encouraging child to use the toilet is in a booklet form.

Abstract: This invention relates to a protective device for dissipating static electrical charges in the order of magnitude of 30,000 volts which if transferred by a person to a computer terminal or other piece of electronic equipment requiring such protection would damage or cause malfunction to the same, the device being characterized by a resistive means capable, first of all, of repeatedly momentarily withstanding the aforesaid voltage while, at the same time, slowing down the rate of change of the static electrical charge transferred to the protective device to a level equal to or less than that of the rate of change of the internal signals generated within the protected apparatus.
