Abstract: A system for providing a weather, hydration, and entertainment shelter, the system comprising: an umbrella supported by a base, an insulated cabinet attached to the base, the insulated cabinet having a door, and defining a fluid-reservoir receiving means; a fluid delivery system comprising a reservoir, a pump, a spigot disposed on an upper portion of the insulated cabinet, and fluid tubing; and a control panel disposed on the insulated cabinet and having a user-interface input, the control panel configured to activate a fluid-conveyance means to convey a fluid from the reservoir, via the fluid tubing, to the spigot in response to receiving a fluid-dispense request at the user-interface input.

Abstract: A system for providing a portable weather, hydration, and entertainment shelter, the system comprising an umbrella, a fluid delivery system, and a control panel, wherein: the umbrella comprises a support pole; the fluid delivery system comprises an insulated container having a fluid reservoir, and fluid tubing connecting the control panel and the fluid reservoir; the insulated container is further configured to receive to the support pole, and the control panel is configured to establish a fluid flow path between i) a spigot on the control panel and ii) the fluid reservoir.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing a personal climate-control system. In at least one embodiment, a personal climate-control system includes a fluid-thermal-conditioning system; a fluid reservoir; a pump; a flow-control manifold configured to provide a flow path for a heat-transfer fluid to heat-transfer-fluid-enabled articles; first and second tubing systems; an electrical connection configured to receive power from an external power supply; a battery configured to provide electrical power to the pump when the electrical connection is not receiving power from an external power supply; and a control module comprising a mode-selector switch and an intensity-selector control, where the mode-selector switch has an off position, a heating position, and a cooling position.
