Abstract: A device, that can attach near a distal end of a cord, has a receptacle therein for removably further attaching the device to the cord itself. Thus, a cord on a tool, for example, can be wrapped around the tool or a cord storage area of the tool and the end of the cord can be removably clipped onto the cord itself, thus removing the need to wrap or tie the end of the cord while keeping the cord from tangling or unwrapping. Typically, the device is permanently affixed to the cord, near its distal end. Various means can be used to secure the device to the cord, including adhesive, a locking mechanism, friction, or combinations thereof.

Abstract: An interactive system and method for development of the voice, preferably for singing. The system and methods provide and utilize an animated, interactive, preferably 3D, visual character for illustrating the various human physiological components involved in producing vocals, and how best to strengthen and train such components to prevent injury. The system and methods are designed to visually replicate how the human body, and more specifically the internal organs for voice, interact and synchronize muscular movements that are involved in abdominal support, release of air control, and neural stimulation, in unison with Larynx mobility and gravity.

Abstract: A system for repairing an underground pipeline using a light source. A resin soaked tubular liner is inverted within an underground liner. A tubular bladder is subsequently inflated within the tubular liner. A pull line is attached to a free end of the bladder. The light source is attached to the pull line. The bladder pulls with the pull line and light source into the liner as the bladder is inverted within the liner. The light source is subsequently activated and separated from the pull line. The light source is then pulled through the bladder and liner, curing the liner as it moves.

Abstract: A device, that can attach near a distal end of a cord, has a receptacle therein for removably further attaching the device back to the cord itself. Thus, a cord on a tool, for example, can be wrapped around the tool or a cord storage area of the tool and the end of the cord can be removably clipped onto the cord itself, thus removing the need to wrap or tie the end of the cord while keeping the cord from tangling or unwrapping.
