Abstract: The present invention is a spill resistant fluid container apparatus that eliminates the need for pouring of liquid such as bubble solution into or out of the spill resistant container apparatus in order to use the spill resistant container apparatus. The apparatus, which is preferably provided with bubble solution sealingly contained within the apparatus, will, when opened, prohibit the pouring of liquid out of the apparatus regardless of the physical orientation of the apparatus. The apparatus is preferably of such low cost construction that the apparatus is readily disposable after the bubble solution contained within the apparatus is substantially consumed.

Abstract: The improved steering apparatus is an invention that increases vehicular operational safety by providing means for a vehicle operator to control various vehicle functions and accessories while keeping both hands on the steering apparatus. The apparatus also automatically provides for the display of a variety of driver relevant information including automatic live video (160) feed of blind spots, rear vehicle cabin area, and road sign information (320), by displaying the information on the steering apparatus mounted video screen. The apparatus includes a built-in speaker (170) and is controlled by either voice commands or by a touching of the touch activatable video display screen (160).

Abstract: The present invention is a candle warming image display lamp (CWIDL) for use in displaying user selectable images while providing light such as to light a room brightly or as a night light, while also warming a preferably spill resistant wickless scented candle, without spilling hot molten candle wax.

Abstract: The spill-proof coloring container is an invention that because of its unique geometry and design, will when oriented in any position prevent spillage of liquid contents when filled to predetermined amount. Because of the use of vacuum formed sheet in the construction of the container, the container pieces are compactly stackable and are of substantially low manufacturing cost. The container is principally intended for use by young children to facilitate painting pictures and dying objects such as Easter eggs without the mess otherwise associated with painting and dying. The invention is also intended to help avoid the mess associated with pouring paint or paint powder concentrates otherwise encountered when preparing a cup of paint for general purpose painting.

Abstract: The rollover prevention apparatus defines an adaptive steering range limiting device comprising a control unit and a pair of opposing unidirectional brake assemblies mounted to a steering column position detection disc. The rollover prevention apparatus prevents the steering wheel of the vehicle from being turned beyond the threshold of vehicle rollover, but otherwise does not restrict the rotational range of motion of the steering wheel of a vehicle.

Abstract: The present invention is a reusable/disposable low cost spill-proof bubble solution container apparatus that eliminates accidental spillage of bubble solution and that may be provided in a compact kit form for the use and enjoyment by several users simultaneously. The apparatus in kit form has a plurality of nested container upper portions, a plurality of nested container lower portions, a plurality of bubble wands, and a bottle of bubble solution contained preferably within a single package. The kit is preferably adapted such that a single compact low cost kit provides components such that multiple containers may be assembled with each container preferably having a bubble wand and such that bubble solution is provided such that each kit may be filled with bubble solution to a predetermined amount. Thus a single kit may provide a bubble solution container complete with solution and a bubble wand each for six different users.

Abstract: The present invention is a bone growth stimulating and promoting cytokine type biological implant preferably comprising PTH coated with a controlled release biodegradable coating that is implanted preferably in the concave side of a scoliotically curved spine in combination with a bone growth inhibiting type biological implant preferably comprising methotrexate or like anti-metabolite coated with a controlled release biodegradable coating that is implanted preferably in the convex side of a scoliotically curved spine. The insertion of the biological implant is highly non-invasion, especially as compared to more conventional spine surgical methods, and the biological implant does not decrease spinal mobility or spinal range of motion.

Abstract: The present invention is a resettable load-limiting adaptive seatbelt apparatus having the means to readily allow release or disengagement of the seatbelt apparatus at a predetermined load in response to a first situation, and having the means to prevent release or disengagement of the seatbelt apparatus at the predetermined load in response to a second situation, and yet having the means to allow limited non-disengagement load-limiting payout of the seatbelt apparatus at a variable predetermined load in response to a third situation.

Abstract: The present invention is a spill resistant tamper evident treat collection container apparatus. Because of the unique shape, size, and functioning of the apparatus, the apparatus prevents spills of contained treats regardless of the orientation of the apparatus. The apparatus further prevents premature withdrawal of treats from the apparatus by the user (e.g. a child) or other unscrupulous third parties so that the collected treats may subsequently and conveniently be inspected after completion of treat collection (e.g. completion of trick-or-treating). The apparatus is preferably adapted such that if the apparatus is opened to gain access to the contents of the apparatus, such opening is rendered evident.

Abstract: The present invention is a large sized spill-proof bubble creation apparatus. The apparatus provides for the creation of significantly large sized bubbles without the otherwise attendant spillage of bubble solution and without the requirement of commensurately and impractically large quantities of bubble solution. By incorporating a separable bubble solution bottle as a portion of the container of the apparatus, storage of unused bubble solution is able to be performed quickly and easily.

Abstract: The present invention is an adaptive seatbelt apparatus having the means in response to a first situation to readily allow release or disengagement of the seatbelt apparatus when the seatbelt apparatus is loaded with a predetermined belt tension load, and having the means in response to a second situation to prevent release or disengagement of the seatbelt apparatus notwithstanding the seatbelt apparatus being loaded with the predetermined belt tension load.

Abstract: A relief valve and related systems and methods have particular use in fluid distribution lines. The relief valve comprises a body defining a cavity and comprising at least first and second openings in fluid communication with the cavity. A connector piece is connected to the body at the first opening to connect the valve to a fluid distribution line. A rupture disc is disposed within and obstructs the first opening. When it is desired that fluid from the fluid distribution line be vented from the system, the rupture disc is punctured via activation of an active material initiator and thereby allows for fluid communication through the first opening of the valve.
