Abstract: A planting bag formed from biodegradable material and sized for receipt of a planting. The planting bag having a water delivery system comprising at least two distribution lines secured to the bag and a splitter for coupling to a conventional water hose. A fertilizer admixture and water absorbing polymer are impregnated into the side wall of the bag allowing close proximity to the root ball of the planting to minimize the loss of fertilizer and provide a means for directing water around the planting root ball.

Abstract: A bedsheet and/or blanket having a stress relieving squeezable element releasably secured to an edge of a bedsheet, blanket or pillow case for use in achieving stress relief, and thereby promoting restful sleep by squeezing and releasing the squeezable element. In a preferred embodiment the is place in a fabric pocket for releasable attachment to the bedsheet, blanket or pillow case by a flexible strap. The squeezable element is formed from rubber or a polymer gel.

Abstract: A shaving device having a cutting head tuned for skin conditioning using light therapy. The cutting head of the shaving device includes a plurality of LED lights positioned around cutting blades which provide light therapy to the skin immediately after shaving using a range between 400 nm and 700 nm.

Abstract: A bedsheet having a stress relieving foam insert around a sewn edge. The foam insert is preferably constructed from closed-cell polyurethane foam rubber and may include a fluid bladder when the foam insert is formed for segments. The fluid bladder for use in enlarging the foam inserts, and may include reed apertures positioned between segments wherein audible sounds are created when fluid is transferred between segments. The squeezing of the foam inserts providing stress relief to an individual and promoting restful sleep. The foam inserts attached to bedsheet to prevent misplacement.

Abstract: A pillow case having a stress foam insert around the opening edge, a closed edge, or both. The stress foam insert for use in achieving stress relief and thereby promoting restful sleep by squeezing and releasing the foam insert. Attaching the stress foam insert to the pillow case allows for ease of access.

Abstract: An improved nozzle for use with a fire hose having an infra-red temperature sensor that is aligned with an output of the nozzle. The sensor will detect the infrared energy produced by a fire hot spot and provide a visual indication of the energy on a display. The temperature sensor operates a thermometer and is placed in the center of the discharge nozzle allowing water to pass around the sensor. A laser is positioned next to the sensor on the outlet of the nozzle to project a high intensity visible light toward the area that the IR sensor is directed.

Abstract: The present invention is a fire suppression apparatus for mitigating a battery fire and the effects of a thermal event within a battery pack. The system comprises a fire suppressant apparatus that is incorporated into the storage modules of the lithium ion batteries. Each storage module includes a container filled with a fire suppressant that is pressurized with a compressed gas.

Abstract: The instant invention relates to an apparatus and method for enhancing the fire extinguishing properties of water for use with fire fighting aircraft. The apparatus and method includes the steps of, and equipment for, transferring media into a holding tank in aircraft; filling a reservoir hopper with water in the aircraft; calculating the amount of media to be added to the reservoir; drawing the calculated amount of media into the reservoir to form an enhanced fire fighting admixture while the aircraft is in flight, wherein the admixture is offloaded by a controlled discharge for use in fighting forest fires.

Abstract: A cellular phone case in combination with a flexible packet holding an admixture of water and super absorbent material to provide heat dissipation, heat indication, and fire extinguishment properties. The cellular phone case has a translucent rear surface and the packet fits inside the case between the bottom surface of the case and the underside of a cellular phone. The packet dissipates heat during a recharging condition, and provides a fire retardant agent to arrest a lithium battery meltdown.

Abstract: Disclosed is an assembly for discharging hydrated super absorbent polymer into a confined space for protection of a lineman or firefighter from a flash fire and fire suppression. A pressurized tank is filled with hydrated super absorbent polymer and connected to a conduit that is constructed and arranged to interchange various nozzles for personnel protection and fire suppression. The hydrated super absorbent polymer is discharged through a solenoid valve which can be operated by the individual operating within the space with a switch, an individual operating the control panel mounted in a utility truck or activated by a heat sensor in the confined space.

Abstract: A device for suppressing or extinguishing electrical fires in an electrical box, in particular an open top electrical box isolating a transformer. The device is based upon a bulk package receptacle placed within the electrical box having a liner filled with a fire suppressant material capable of suffocating or eliminating a fire. Should a fire occur the bulk package receptacle bursts at the point of combustion and the fire suppression properties of the fire suppressant would immediately be dispensed over the electrical material and extinguish any associated fire. In the preferred embodiment the bag consumes about 90% of the airspace and contained sufficient fluid volume to contain within the container. The admixture further encapsulates noxious and toxic gases associated with electrical fires.

Abstract: A method and device for suppressing an electrical fire within an electrical wire carrying conduit. The device is a flexible receptacle containing an admixture of super absorbent polymer and water having substantially superior fire suppression and extinguishing properties that does not provide an electrically conductive environment. The receptacle is drawn though a conduit either before or after wires have been placed in the conduit, and the filled with the admixture. A sleeve may be placed over the receptacle to prevent breaching of the receptacle during installation. Once the receptacle and admixture is positioned within the conduit, should arcing or a buildup of heat occur, the receptacle will rupture and the admixture will cover the specific area. These particular properties and ratios of the admixture will enable electrical fires to be extinguished more rapidly and not flare back up. The admixture further encapsulates noxious and toxic gases associated with electrical fires.
