Abstract: A hexagonal speaker with six edges (sides) and four drivers. A pair of drivers is embedded on adjacent edges and another pair of drivers is embedded on the opposite edges, while two opposing edges in between each pair of drivers do not have a driver. A down-firing subwoofer is located on the bottom of the speaker. The speaker is raised off the ground so that the subwoofer can output sound without touching the ground. An air vent tube is also located on the bottom of the speaker adjacent to the subwoofer.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of embedding electric components or optical components, such as sensors, in a high-temperature metal and the embedded products produced by the method. In the preferred embodiment the components are embedded on a substrate of the high-temperature metal by being placed on a first insulating layer. A second electrically insulating layer, a low thermal conductivity layer, a high thermal conductivity layer, and a primer layer are then deposited in order. The high thermal conductivity layer is in good thermal contact with the substrate. The high-temperature metal is deposited, preferably as molten drops, on the primer layer and the heat from the drops is conducted by high thermal conductivity layer to the substrate while the components are protected by the low thermal conductivity layer.

Abstract: A collector electrode and adjacent electric weld torch are placed at a selected distance from a work surface or substrate. An electric welding current is generated so that a welding current arc forms between the collector electrode and the weld torch. A feed metal is then fed into the welding current arc and is melted into molten metal adjacent to the collector electrode. The molten metal is then deposited onto a work surface. The collector electrode and weld torch are positioned so that the welding current arc between the weld torch and the collector electrodes does not penetrate the work surface or the already-deposited metal.

Abstract: A desk-organizer for releasibly holding paper and the like for ready reference and retrievel, including a resilient paper-holderof transparent plastic or of wire, the paper-holder in the form of a bifurcate structure having at least a pair of extending members joined at a crotch in facing relationship, with a projecting member extending from the end of a first one of the extended members remote from the crotch to form with the second extended member an oriented-access, the oriented-access self-biased to urgedly engage sheet material inserted therein. Extending from the end of the second extended member remote from the crotch is a second projecting member which interacts with sheet material extending away from the crotch beyond the oriented-access to flex the sheet material into a non-planar configuration having improved structural stability.
