Abstract: A rod clamp assembly including a first clamp member pivotally connected to a second clamp member, a handle pivotally connected to the first clamp member, and a lock bolt pivotally connected to the handle. The first and second clamp members each include a semi-cylindrical groove. A lock end of the lock bolt is configured to engage a receptacle of the second clamp member to pull the first and second clamp members together. An elongated portion of the handle is rotated to a locked position in which the first and second clamp members are secured together. A base of the handle, which engages the first clamp member, may include a notch for providing a quick close and quick open. Optionally, the rod clamp assembly includes a safety lock assembly, which engages the elongated portion of the handle to secure the handle in the locked position.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a system, and a device to provide a wearable desk fan having a base to facilitate selective positioning of a fan housing to provide varied air flow paths to a user. In one aspect, the wearable desk fan includes a rotatable fan cage having a plurality of rotating blades to create a current of air, a mounting bracket to affix the rotatable fan cage at an end of plurality of wishbone arms, and a base handle coupled with the mounting bracket to allow folding of the base handle forming its base. A hinge joint and a beveled plate at the end of plurality of wishbone arms enable revolving and tilting of the rotatable fan cage. The mounting bracket may have a loop to attach a lanyard to enable hanging of the fan around a neck of the user.

Abstract: Disclosed are a method, a device and/or a system of an alternating bi-colored pattern necklace formed through a light offset of a first chain and an nth chain interlaced to form the alternating bi-colored pattern necklace. A width of an nth battery chamber forms an approximately one-half period offset from each of a first set of lights that are equally spaced with each other such that, when the first chain and the nth chain are mechanically coupled together when the first clipping end of the male connector orientation is mechanically coupled with the nth clipping end of the female connector orientation, the nth set of lights interlace with the first set of lights to form a bi-colored set of lights equally spaced apart in alternating colors of the first color and the nth color at a density of twice of any one of the first set of lights of the first chain and the nth set of lights of the nth chain.

Abstract: A water pod for assisting a user in extinguishing forest fires includes a hollow shell constructed with a biodegradable plastic that ruptures upon impact when dropped from an aircraft. The shell includes a fill port allowing it to be filled with water or another flame retardant material. The shell may include a detonation device allowing the pod to be ruptured prior to impact, if desired.
