  • Publication number: 20060079121
    Abstract: A twistable electrical connector for computer periphery devices, primarily, in the form of an interface which allows the user to turn the connector at least ninety degrees, such that one can fit the device into places a standard connector will not fit. In the preferred mode, a flexible, semi-rigid plastic pipe construction separates the diversified connector types and extends the twistable connection. Both ends could be any type of interface, as determined by periphery, or items required, where as, each twistable connector consists of a left connector assembly, a right connector assembly and an assembly of semi-rigid plastic constructions, forming the pipe, in which the internal cabling interfacing the 2 connector resides.

  • Publication number: 20020081878
    Abstract: A twistable electrical connector for computer periphery devices in the form of an interface which allows the user to turn the connector at least ninety degrees, such that one can fit the device into places a standard connector will not fit. A left part of the device functions as a standard connector, and a right part contains a retaining disk integrated into the section that is generally rear of a standard connector. The retaining disk functions to maintain connector integrity while allowing the left and right sections to rotate at least ninety degrees with respect to one another. In the preferred mode, a flexible, semi-rigid plastic pipe separates the diversified connector types and extends the twistable connector. Both ends could be any type of interface, as determined by items required. The twistable connector may engage a provider that represents a type of interface connector or advanced design of the typical connector.

  • Patent number: 5464766
    Abstract: A stabilized dust-free powdered enzyme/bacterial fermentation product is provided for readily treating drains, septic tanks, distribution boxes, holding tanks, drain fields, sewer lines, dry wells, grease traps, compost heaps, and garbage disposals. The stabilized powdered formulation effectively digests and liquifies most organic wastes flushed into on-site waste disposal systems. The environmentally attractive product can also be used for regular periodic sludge pumpouts. The waste-digesting composition can include: enzymes, enzyme preservatives, enzyme activators, nonpathogenic aerobic and anaerobic bacteria, bacterial nutrients, buffers, emulsifiers, and heavy metal scavengers. In a preferred embodiment the composition contains multiple enzymes having less than 26% by weight of the total weight of the composition, and specifically 0.1% to 15% protease, 0.1% to 15% amylase, 0.1% to 15% cellulase, 0.1% to 15% lipase, 0.1% to 15% Bacillus species, 0.
