Abstract: A treatment pad for applying heat, cooling or an antiseptic fluid to a subject's body surface incorporates a heat transfer member or a wound treatment member that is adapted to be held in place by application of a vacuum pressure. The heat transfer member may comprise an electrical resistance wire arranged in a serpentine pattern within a housing or, alternatively, may comprise interconnected heat transmissive tubing through which either a heated or a cooled fluid may be made to pass. Alternatively, the pad may contain a gel that can be cooled in a refrigerator or heated in a microwave oven and held in place on the subject's body by application of a vacuum to the assembly. The wound treatment member may comprise a gaseous antiseptic delivery pad held in place on the patient's body by use of a vacuum.

Abstract: A bottletop plug device for trapping flying insects. The bottletop plug device is a reversibly attachable accessory that converts a consumer-supplied narrow-neck bottle into a trap for flying insects. The plug device has a generally tapered body that includes a lower body segment and bottom tip insertable into a baited bottle, a middle body segment having a stack of resilient protruding circumferential ribs sealable against an inside wall of a bottle neck, and an upper body segment having a wide mouth entrance to an internal passageway or chamber that runs down the length of the body and through the bottom tip. At the bottom of the channel, a narrow “insect sized” orifice allows insects to have essentially one-way ingress into the bottle.

Abstract: A wakeboard binding assembly in which the upper may be directly connected to the base plate without additional adhesives, stitching, or fasteners thus facilitating the assembly, removal, modification or interchange of one or more components of the binding during manufacturing, by a consumer or dealer to customize the fit, function and/or aesthetics of the binding.

Abstract: A material transfer device for coupling the threaded pour spout of two containers to one another to permit transfer of liquid product from one container to the other. The basic coupling device comprises a tubular member having at least two different thread patterns at opposed ends, allowing the coupler to be used with containers of multiple differing thread patterns, i.e., diameter and/or thread pitch. The coupler also includes internal sealing flanges to prevent seepage of product from the joined containers.
