Abstract: A disposable re-useable urine receptacle that, when used, provides comfortable, discrete, and safe urine collection and containment until the collected urine can be properly disposed of, either by the wearer or someone else. It achieves these goals by conforming to the wearer's body, expanding to a predetermined self-supported shape, and disallowing side wall-to-wall adherence between fillings. An apparatus for automated disposal of urine is also disclosed.

Abstract: A handheld shaker with a reciprocating agitator, comprising a mixing vessel that operatively contains a guide rod that runs from one end of the vessel to an opposite end of the vessel. The mixing vessel is operatively connected to both such ends. The shaker also uses a hollow agitator frame that operatively reciprocates from the one end of the vessel to the opposite end, and thereby mixes fluid contained within the vessel. A reciprocating agitator is also disclosed.

Abstract: An extension for a rotatable puzzle piece that is used with a sliding puzzle, and a sliding puzzle that uses the same. In one aspect the puzzle has an extension for a rotatable puzzle piece, comprising a housing including a backing frame and a front member connected one to the other. The backing frame is formed with a fixedly disposed first recess defined by walls formed on the backing frame. A fixedly disposed second recess is defined by the front member. The puzzle also includes a plurality of puzzle pieces disposed in the second recess, wherein each of the pieces is individually slidably movable in the second recess, whereby the pieces are movable so as to be arranged in a desired solution in the second recess. A channel operatively communicates with the second recess such that the pieces can be moved into the channel and rotated therein, thereby rotationally reorienting the pieces. The rotationally reoriented pieces can be moved into the second recess in an attempt to solve the puzzle.
