Abstract: Multi-functional power distribution unit transitionable between different configurations and form factors to perform various power storage and distribution functions. Conversion cap attaches to a top of an expansion battery to convert the expansion battery into the multi-functional power distribution unit. A three-point coupling arrangement safely connects two power connectors (such as spring-loaded) of the expansion cap to two terminals on the expansion battery. Slidable/rotatable handles provide a gripping area for carrying the device yet remain unobstructive when stored. The multi-functional power distribution unit expands a power capacity of a power supply and/or generator (e.g., a solar-based power generator) and/or charges the expansion battery in a first configuration with the expansion cap connected to the power generator. Upon disconnecting from the power generator, the multi-functional power distribution unit transitions to a second configuration providing a standalone power supply (e.g.

Abstract: A baby foot strap comprises a strap with an opening for a heel and a flange that wraps over the top of the foot, and at least one sensor attached to an interior of the strap, so as to monitor one or more desired health parameters of the baby.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a drinking straw may include a first part that includes a manual manipulation feature and a second part with an interior volume with an open side and at least one open end. The first part may be configured to be accepted into the interior volume and the manual manipulation feature of the first part may be configured to extend through at least one of the open side and open end.

Abstract: An agitator for mixing solutions in a bottle is described. The agitator is comprised of a handle portion and a whisk portion. The agitator may have a helical-shape to encourage spinning of the agitator as liquid flows past the agitator. The whisk may be flat-bottomed and formed of a flexible material, such that when the whisk portion comes into contact with the bottom of the bottle, the whisking members splay outwardly.

Abstract: A portable power supply may include housing and an elastomeric material disposed about the periphery of the housing to minimize damage to the housing if it is dropped or comes into contact with liquids or other contaminants. The elastomeric material may be formed in a single piece and may also form a door for selectively closing ports in the power supply.

Abstract: A cushion or bathtub mat includes a pair of contiguous layers each with a repeating pattern of upstanding straight walls forming upstanding cells with upstanding openings between the walls. The repeating patterns of the pair of layers are laterally offset with respect to one another to form a dual layer offset honeycomb. The walls are flexible to buckle into the openings of the cells under a compressive force, and resilient to return to an original upstanding orientation, while having at least a strength to be self-supporting.

Abstract: A trigger actuated clamp holds a smart phone camera on a monopod and includes a movable jaw slidable with respect to a stationary jaw, and a pair of opposing fingers oriented parallel and spaced-apart from one another and carried by the jaws. A base is attached to the stationary jaw and forms at least a portion of a vertically oriented grip. A trigger is attached to the movable jaw and extends therefrom to oppose the grip and spaced-apart from the grip. The trigger is pullable towards the grip to displace the pair of jaws, and thus the pair of opposing fingers, away from one another. The clamp also has bias means for biasing the pair of jaws, and thus the pair of fingers, towards one another, and for biasing the trigger away from the grip.

Abstract: A storage box to be used with an outdoor cooking device has a base part having an inside area, an outside area and a base rim portion, and of a lid part having an inside area, an outside area and a lid rim portion. The lid rim portion is attachable to the base rim portion such that a closed interior space is formed between the base part and the lid part. The base part further comprises at least one fastening means on the outside area such that the storage box can be attached to the outdoor cooking device.
