Abstract: An angular audio accessory for redirecting a speaker bar consists of a stationary U-channel, a collapsible U-channel, a hinging mechanism, and a clamping mechanism. The collapsible U-channel is hingedly connected to the stationary U-channel with the hinging mechanism. The configuration of the collapsible U-channel is determined with the clamping mechanism. When in use, the stationary U-channel is attached to a body of a vehicle. The speaker bar that needs to be redirected is connected to the collapsible U-channel. Thus, the speaker bar can be positioned in parallel to the stationary U-channel or perpendicular to the stationary U-channel.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include an online profile system for a user related to building and accessing an online profile and process a verification report of a first user. In some embodiments, the verification report can be distributed to an internet service interface based on the user's judgment of the accuracy, an administrator. In some embodiments, the verification report can be distributed based on a renewal date of the verification. In some embodiments, the online profile system can process dispute information from the first user, and initiate a secondary search of the first user to produce a verification report of the user. In some embodiments, the user can be verified using knowledge based questions including timed answers. In some further embodiments, the system can flag a user account of the first user for a deactivated or hidden profile. In some embodiments, the internet service interface includes an internet dating service.

Abstract: A tool for manipulating bicycle drive chains having a central elongated portion with a first and second end formed to manipulate the drive chain while being held by the other end as a handle. On a first version, the first end is formed to grasp and pull the drive chain while the second end is formed to grasp and push the drive chain. Other versions of the tool provide for both ends to feature pulling ends, or both ends to feature pushing ends, or one end with a pushing or pulling end and the other end terminating as a straight element. Each version of the tool is fashioned to be small, compact and easily portable.

Abstract: An apparatus for maintaining the temperature stability of an amplifier system comprises a device for heating, cooling or heating an cooling one or more sub-assemblies of the amplifier system, a temperature sensor for detecting variations in temperature of a sub-assembly, and a controller operably connecting the two. The signal from the sensor is used by the controller to adjust the amount of heating, cooling, or heating and cooling of a sub-assembly in order to maintain its temperature within a range sufficiently small to ensure stable performance.

Abstract: A body protector for athletes, particularly those engaged in motocross or motorcycle racing, having an outer semirigid plastic shell and an inner layer of air cell material for absorbing the impact of a fall or collision. The air cell material comprises a closed network of cells that are interconnected with channels. The channels slow the air movement away from the impact area, thereby distributing the energy of the impact throughout the cell network. An integral pump allows the wearer to maintain the air cell material at the desired pressure. An inflation indicator allows the wearer to estimate the pressure level of the air cells.
