Abstract: A device for preventing a drive off during a traffic stop that can be easily deployed by a police office to puncture the tire of the vehicle if it is driven off during the traffic stop. The device has a base support a plurality of spikes and a handle pivotally coupled to an end of the base and movable between a stowed position and a deployed position. The handle is telescopic so that is can be extended for easy deployment of the device by the officer. The handle may include a visual indicator and can be magnetic to attach to the side of the vehicle. The base may include a flexible cover positioned over the plurality of spikes.

Abstract: A faucet having a series of nozzles positioned longitudinally along the length of a spray arm to provide a robust and thorough delivery of water for the washing of produce. A thermometer may be integrated into the faucet to provide water temperature readings from various locations along the faucet. A valve allows for the nozzles to be turned on or off as desired by a user. The nozzles of the faucet provide a robust spray over the area under faucet, thereby improving the rinsing of produce. The thermometer allows a user to ensure that produce is washed at the correct temperature to open stomata and remove any trapped bacteria or other harmful items.

Abstract: A device that may be attached to the blade of a knife to improve safety. The device has a central juncture and a pair of opposing legs having free ends that extend from the central juncture to define a gap therebetween. The free ends of the opposing legs are held in frictional engagement with each other. The gap is dimensioned to accept the blade of a knife and the central juncture will extends along a plane at right angles to the blade of the knife to accommodate the first phalanx of a human index finger. A cushioning layer is positioned over the central juncture and pair of opposing legs to improve gripping by a user and thus improve safety.

Abstract: An apparatus for washing hands and/or fingernails includes a brush assembly attached to a water faucet. The brush assembly includes a backplane with two opposed brushes attached to the backplane such that the bristles on each brush face outward from the backplane. A clamping mechanism removable attaches the brush assembly to the faucet. The clamping mechanism is pivotable on the faucet so the user can move the brush assembly into the water stream to use the brushes and out of the water stream for rinsing.

Abstract: The invention is an integrated, multi-function, portable, battery powered device for performing the following functions: measuring and displaying at least one temperature of at least one object or substance; visually displaying the current time; setting at least one selectable amount of elapsed time, counting cumulatively forward from the moment of setting or counting down the time remaining from the moment of setting until a selected future moment of interest; visually and/or audibly indicating the state of the selected elapsing time including the expiration thereof; visually indicating the amount of expected battery life remaining; encasing the temperature-sensing means when inactive for protection, cleanliness and safety; securely affixing the invention to a user's pocket or clothing such that at least one means of display is readable by the user at all times; and conveniently changing the battery when necessary.
