Abstract: This invention relates to a novel device for organizing objects containing at least one aperture there through and an accompanying efficient method for storing the objects using the device. In one of its embodiments, this invention comprises an elongated strand comprising a first end and a second end, a support member integral with or attached to the first end, and a retention member integral with or attached to the second end.

Abstract: A compact and inexpensive meter for measuring and recording the time an engine driven apparatus has been running. The apparatus includes a signal generator such as a piezoelectric transducer which produces an electrical current when the engine driven apparatus is operating, a rectifier for converting the electrical current produced by said signal generator to direct current, a transistor for receiving the electrical current from the rectifier and switching on a stopwatch timing unit when the voltage received from the rectifier reaches a predetermined level.
