  • Patent number: 11101670
    Abstract: A wireless charging cart for charging the battery of portable computing devices having a receiver includes a shelf and a divider supported by the shelf. The divider has a top edge and a bottom edge between which an x-axis extends and a front edge and rear edge between which a y-axis extends. The cart further has a charging module mounted to the divider. The charging module has a transmitter mounted to an adjustable support, which permits the transmitter to be moved along both the x and y axis of the divider, wherein the adjustable support is adapted to locate the transmitter adjacent the receiver of the portable computing device to be charged.

  • Patent number: 6592091
    Abstract: A Hair-Dryer Holder to provide a safer, more economical, and stable receptacle with multiple hair dryer handle insertion slots permitting a variable positioning feature and upright installation to the right, left or forward wall relative to the user's stance in front of a bathroom mirror and the user's preference to insert the hair dryer so that the handle can be parallel to the wall and therefore less obstructive. The receptacle provides three handle insertion slots being 90 degrees offset from each other in series, each said slot similarly as said receptacle being variably sized and tapered to accommodate most said hair dryers. A built-in hook at the front of said receptacle to accommodate most attaching electrical cords.

  • Patent number: 6096973
    Abstract: The aerial terminal has a tray assembly having zero, one, or more holes for paired-conductor drop wires, as well as one or more converter holes for converters (e.g., baluns), each of which allows signals over an additional conductor pair to be converted and sent through a coaxial-cable drop wire. The tray assembly enables the aerial terminal to be used to distribute to customers both communication signals and broadband signals carried by a multi-wire distribution cable. In a preferred embodiment, the tray assembly of the present invention is designed to replace the grommet trays of prior-art Flexterm.RTM. 5000 Aerial Terminals by Lucent Technology, Inc., that are already in service, without disturbing any of the connections between the distribution cable and the terminal block of the existing aerial terminal.

  • Patent number: 5103577
    Abstract: A common annoyance for many people is the sensed change in temperature after disrobing or upon exiting the bathtub or shower stall area. The body heater/drier utilizes a unique means by which it disperses warm air to the many areas of the user. Air is drawn into the base assembly of the apparatus, heated and forced to flow into the tubing sections connected in series above. The air within increases in pressure since the total volumetric flow of air induced within the apparatus is greater than total volumetric flow of air which is possible through the limited total cumulative area of all the output openings. The resultant pressure causes the air to flow out of the apparatus in various directions and in varying volumes directly dependent upon the particular inclination in size and shape of each various output opening through which air flows. The output openings act jets to control air dispersal.
