  • Patent number: 6726070
    Abstract: An ergonomic input device holder where a portable input device such as a tablet computer is attached to the top side and the user grips the input device holder by a pistol grip handle on the bottom side. The user's hand is furthermore supported by a pair of wrist supports and the wrist may optionally be strapped in place with straps, The handle and the wrist supports can be rotated to fit both right and left handed users as well as to allow for use in both portrait mode and landscape mode.

  • Patent number: 6520173
    Abstract: A portable solid-fuel burning camp-stove with a unique air supply system that allows for sufficient thermal power output to facilitate cooking while keeping the size of the combustion chamber small enough to allow for acceptable packing weight for backcountry hiking. Pack stoves powered by gas or liquid fuels have the major disadvantages of the need to bring fuel and limited fuel supply. Solid fuel stoves have the advantage of being able to use fuel straight from nature in the form of wood, there is no need to carry fuel, generally these stoves are too heavy for backpacking since they need a large combustion chamber which makes these stoves to heavy for back packing. This invention allows for adequate combustion in an acceptably small chamber by blowing additional air into the combustion chamber for a higher combustion rate. The air is blown in by mouth through a hose and nozzle arrangement, thereby eliminating the need for extra air-pump hardware.
