Abstract: A vessel design for the aeration of coffee, tea, spirits, wine, or mixing liquids/powders has a uniquely engineered system of lateral, horizontal and vertical peaked petal shaped ridges on the inside at specific angles, shapes, and heights. When liquid is swirled over the ridge pattern, friction is created both internally and externally in the resulting vortex, adding oxygen and releasing volatile organic chemicals, creating an optimally mixed, better tasting consumer experience. Vessel design allows a user to swirl as much or as little as desired to affect the mixing process. The present invention has substantial and beneficial effects on the taste of coffee, tea, wine, spirits, and a variety of liquid/powder beverages.

Abstract: An adhesive fastening device (10) having a plate (12) and a pin component (16) and an adhesive tape (14). The adhesive fastening device (10) is adapted for attaching and supporting an object piece (44) or equivalent thereof to an office cubicle wall (46). The pin assembly (16) has two rear leg portions (32) for insertion through a cloth covering (48) of the cubicle wall (46), thereby attaching the adhesive fastening device (10) to the cubicle wall (46). An adhesive tape (14) is secured to the plate (12) by a first adhesive portion (18) and an object piece (44) is removably affixed to the plate (12) by a second adhesive portion (22) of the adhesive tape (14). A removable paper cover (42) is provided to prevent unwanted adherence to the adhesive tape (14) prior to end use.
