Abstract: An improved gas burner control system which eliminates the need for a pilot light for operation of a gas burner, including a pair of gapped electrical conductors forming a set of ignition points disposed adjacent to a gas burner, a sensor for detecting the presence of the gas to be burned via the gas burner adjacent to the gas burner, means for electrically coupling the sensor means to a relay, the relay controlling the delivery of electrical current to a second relay, the second relay operable in an alternating fashion, means for electrically interconnecting the points of the alternating relay to the pair of ignition points, means for electrically controlling the flow of gas to the gas burner concurrently with the sensing of the existence of gas flowing out of the gas burner by the gas sensor, the alternating relay being operable upon the detection by the sensor means of the flow of gas from the gas burner, remote means for visually indicating if the electrically controlled valve is open, and means for indic

Abstract: A manually operable eyelash curler including a pair of curved arms housed within a stationary frame, which when mechanically depressed along the outermost curved portion, drives a movable, non-electrically heated eyelash compressing element into intimate contact with a stationary electrically heated eyelash compressing element, a centrally-disposed battery pack to provide the electrical energy to heat the electrically heated eyelash compressing element, a first electrical switch which arms the electrical circuit, and a second electrical switch operably associated with one of the curved arms to energize the electrically heated eyelash compressing element when the curved arm is manually depressed.

Abstract: A device for reconstituting used coffee grounds for re-use, including a cup for receiving the coffee grounds, means for heating the cup, means for stirring the coffee grounds within the cup, valve means disposed beneath the cup for controlling the flow of the coffee grounds out of the bottom of the cup, grinding means beneath the cup and valve means for receiving the coffee grounds and for grinding the coffee grounds, and a receptacle for receiving and storing the coffee grounds as the coffee grounds exit from the grinding means.
