Abstract: A portable cooler/warmer that can be securely fastened to a seat or to a floor in a vehicle. The cooler/warmer comprises a container body defining a storage compartment and an opening therein, and a releasable seat belt pass-through latch assembly provided on the container body for releasably engaging a seat belt of the vehicle for securing the container body to the vehicle. The releasable seat belt pass-through latch assembly is provided at a bottom portion of the container body and includes a latch member pivotally mounted relative to the container body for releasably engaging the container body. The latch member is formed with a seat belt channel provided for supporting the seat belt in the seat belt pass-through latch assembly and is formed on an inner surface of the latch member facing the container body. The cooler/warmer further includes a refrigeration/heating unit powered by a rechargeable electrical battery.

Abstract: An ergonomically configurable hand-held video game controller for interaction with a computer gaming unit. The video game controller comprises an configurable control members which may be selectively positioned relative to the main housing to accommodate preferred ergonomic positions for custom preferences of a user. In one embodiment, a particular operational device such as a trackball may be shifted from the right side of the controller to the left side to accommodate left and right handed users. A moveable modular assembly may also be replaceable to unlimited configurations of a single control unit.

Abstract: A wireless computer game controller with rechargeable batteries that may be recharged while the batteries are installed on the controller and/or while the controller is in operation. Disposable batteries may also power the controller. In one embodiment, a communication cable connects the controller with a stand-alone computer game console such that the rechargeable battery pack is recharged directly from the game console through the communication cable. The cable not only establishes a communication link to facilitate the transmission of both command signals and audio/video signals between the controller and computer device, but it also deliver a recharge signal to the battery pack through the game controller. In another embodiment, the rechargeable battery pack is recharged through a power cable that establishes a power link with the wireless adapter assembly.

Abstract: A magnifier device for magnifying a portable video image produced by a video display device. The magnifier includes a base member connected a magnifier portion connected to and rotatable relative to the base member. The magnifier portion is rotatable to facilitate rotation between a first position adjacent a display window of the video device to magnify a display and a stored position compactly arranged adjacent the video display device. The magnifier device can be securely affixed to the video display device and folded to a compact stored position while attached.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a controller having a gel-gripping surface for engagement with a user's hand. The controller includes a housing having a plurality of operation members logistically positioned for manipulation by a user's hand. A handle portion adapted to be grasped by the hand of a user includes a deformable gel-grip extending over a substantial portion of the handle. The gel grip includes a flexible external exposed surface containing a semi-liquid flowable material within a cavity portion of the gel-grip. Such an arrangement provides a multi-directional deforming gripping surface with a comfortable feel.

Abstract: A portable utility light includes base support with a rechargeable battery. A light assembly is electrically connected to the rechargeable battery in the base support through a power cord removably connected to the base support. The power cord is adapted for selective connection to an auxiliary power source to provide a direct auxiliary power source for the light assembly. A power supply mechanism is also connected to a second connection portion of the base support to provide another power source to either charge the battery, power the light assembly or both. Another power cord may be employed to facilitate recharging the battery through the auxiliary power source. The work light thus provides multiple sources of power for the light as well as multiple sources of power for recharging the battery.

Abstract: A hand-held video game controller for interaction with a computer gaming unit. The video game controller comprises a hollow casing defining a central control section, and left and right hand grip sections extending from the control section. The control section includes a plurality of switches which a user will utilize to enter data and control signals. Those switches are intended to be individually operated by one or both thumbs of the user. The video game controller further includes at least one trackball input device integrally mounted to the control section of the casing for manipulation by the user for producing a game input signal indicative to the amount and direction of rotational movement of a trackball relative to the casing in each of orthogonal directions. The game controller also includes at least one joystick integrally mounted to the control section of the casing for manipulation by the user.
