Abstract: A system, apparatus, and method for preventing wireless communication while driving is presented. The system including a text prevention device configured to be installed in a vehicle and detect mobile computing devices within the vehicle. The text prevention device is further configured to establish a connection with detected mobile computing devices and serve as a proxy device to receive signal transmissions transmitted from and received by the mobile computing devices preventing the mobile computing devices within the vehicle from distracting the driver during operation of the vehicle.

Abstract: A mobile device automatically determines the identity of a proximate automobile that has been activated, and further determines whether the automobile presently has active insurance coverage as one automobile of a multi-automobile policy. If the automobile has only base coverage, then the user is presented with a selection screen for activing coverage in order to comply with insurance requirements to operate the automobile on public roadways. Similarly, when the owner/user knows they will not be using the automobile for a long or indefinite period of time, then the active insurance can be turned off or transferred to another automobile on the multi-automobile policy.

Abstract: A relatively lightweight and easy to use flexible heating mat for melting snow and ice that can be cut in the field to custom length or to accommodate direction changes or avoid obstructions. The heating mat includes one or more planar flexible heaters sandwiched between two vulcanized polymer protective sheets. The heating mat may be activated remotely or manually and can be powered from either end of the heating mat. Nonskid patterns ate typically included in heating mats used on driveways and walkways.

Abstract: A lightweight flexible electrical heating device for melting snow and ice that may be cut in the field to custom length. The device includes a planar flexible electric heater sandwiched between two vulcanized polymer protective sheets. The heater include an array of resistive heating elements electrically connected in parallel and oriented substantially across the device length, allowing the heater to be cut to any length as needed. Potentially the outside surfaces is equipped with a ribbed non skid pattern that form an array of ribs and channels to increase traction and aid in water drainage.

Abstract: Pipe sections of a drill string are unscrewed by holding one pipe section stationary in a clamping arm, and rotating another pipe section by a turning wrench. The clamping arm includes an adapter that can be replaced by similar adapters sized for different pipe diameter. The turning wrench includes a lug arranged to be contacted by a piston rod and rotated thereby for breaking the bond between the pipe sections.

Abstract: A removable device for melting and preventing the accumulation of ice and snow on walkway and driveways is disclosed. The apparatus includes a series of interconnected pads of various lengths and widths which are heated to a temperature which is sufficient to prevent the accumulation of ice and snow.

Abstract: A jewelry box includes a pair of identical mating frames having interengaging protrusions to define an integral hinge. A shell is secured to each frame to define a body member and a cover member for the box. A variety of shells having different depths, colors and surface finishes are produced for a given size frame, and a variety of combinations of shells can be selected for each box.

Abstract: Apparatus for holding and supporting a string of connected drill pipe sections which are suspended in a bore hole and for assisting in separating one drill pipe section from the string when the string is being disassembled.
