Abstract: An approach is provided for filling a toner container useful in printing. The approach involves causing, at least in part, a toner container to be coupled to a base member, the base member being configured to contact a lift mechanism. The approach further involves causing, at least in part, the toner container to be moved to a filling position by the lift mechanism. The approach also involves causing, at least in part, a predetermined amount of a toner to be input into the toner container by a filling process when the toner container is in the filling position. The approach additionally involves causing, at least in part, at least the toner inside the toner container to be agitated by way of the base member during the filling process, at least until the toner container is filled with the predetermined amount of toner.

Abstract: A device for developing hand-eye coordination of the type having a drum (90) with a furrow (92) meandering around drum (90) with drum pin (94A and 94B) mated to slot (120A and 120B) of hoop (116). Marble (10) is negotiated over furrow (92) by turning drum pin (94A and 94B) with each hand while simultaneously using drum pin (94A and 94B) to roll hoop (116) to complete the length of furrow (92).

Abstract: A pen holder (22) comprising six tapered tubular cavities (24) for holding and sealing various size pens, is formed in a resilient foam (28) cooperating with a skin (30) that surrounds all outside surfaces. The resilient materials are flexible enough to hold pens against the tapered section without loosening. Tapered tubular cavity (24) has a mouth (42) that is connected to a throat (44). Throat (44) leads to a primary gripping zone (46) that connects to a secondary gripping zone (48). The gripping zones have different tapered ranges to accommodate different pen widths. Foam (28) and skin (30) surrounds tapered tubular cavities (24) forming an outside block shape with a face (32) that comprises six mouths (42) exposed in face (32). Face (32) is parallel to a base (34). The block shape comprises two concave sides (36A) and (36B). Pen holder (22) comprises two waist walls (38A) (38B) that are perpendicular to concave sides (36A) and (36B).
