Abstract: A decoy buoy for holding a plurality of waterfowl decoys that comprises a central hub with at least three arms comprising mounting holes generally equally spaced along the arms. The mounting holes are further adapted for mounting a waterfowl decoy and/or an anchoring device to prevent the decoy buoy from floating away while in the water. The decoy buy further being constructed from two sections and joined with hinges that provide both a folding configuration and an unfolded stable semi-rigid configuration adapted for placement upon or near the surface of water.

Abstract: A decoy buoy for holding a plurality of waterfowl decoys that comprises a buoyant ring having mounting holes equally spaced about the outside periphery and/or the inner periphery. The mounting holes are further adapted for mounting a waterfowl decoy and/or an anchoring device to prevent the decoy buoy from floating away while in the water. The ring having a height that is generally less than or equal to the distance between the outside periphery and the inner periphery of the ring. The ring further being constructed from two buoy sections and joined with hinges that provide both a fold-flat configuration and an unfolded stable semi-rigid circular configuration adapted for placement upon or near the surface of water.

Abstract: An apparatus has a body having an interior space formed therein, a lid hingedly attached adjacent the top of the body, walls extending upwardly from a periphery of the top of the body, wheels attached to a bottom of the body, and a handle pivotally attached to a front of the body. The body thermally insulates the interior space, and the lid thermally insulates the interior space when in a closed position. A portion of the interior space has a trapezoidal shape. The body has angled portions that dampen a movement of items in the interior space. The lid and body have layers, where the outermost layers provide structure and support, and the inner layers provide insulation and dampening for items in the interior space.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a complex including colloid particles having an ion exchange capacity and having attached one or more ligands with a charge and a hydrophobic domain, and one or more pharmaceutical compounds associated with the colloid particles and/or the one or more ligands, as well as a method of making the complex. The present invention also relates to methods for preventing or reducing surface absorption or for delayed percutaneous delivery of one or more pharmaceutical compounds. The methods involve applying to a surface a complex according to the present invention. Another aspect of the present invention relates to a surface coated with colloid particles having attached one or more ligands with a charge and a hydrophobic domain and one or more pharmaceutical compounds associated with either or both of the colloid particles and the one or more ligands.
