Abstract: The present invention is a water-absorbent animal cooling vest made with an inner core of woven, hydrophilic/hydrophobic polymer embedded fabrics (PEF) enclosed inside two exterior (a wicking fabric inside to the body and a breathable fabric outside to the air) fabric shells attached to the animal by criss-crossing two double-ended, elastic and adjustable hook straps over the rear of the animal's neck, which straps are then attached to sewn-on loops on the upper and lower parts of the vest. The vest is soaked in approximately 3-16 ounces of water (depending on the size of the vest and the size of the animal for which is to be used) for 3-15 minutes (again depending on size of vest) before use, thus allowing the inner core to absorb the water. This process begins the vest's evaporative process. The internal core fibers of the vest absorb many times its weight in water. Excess water is wrung out of the vest prior to installation.

Abstract: An alarm system is provided for alerting a golfer about a forgotten club. A divot tool incorporates a radio transmitter powered by a rechargeable power source for transmitting a coded transmission. A radio receiver tuned to receive the coded transmission includes logic circuitry that generates an alarm signal whenever power associated with the coded transmission drops below a threshold level. One or more alarm devices are coupled to the logic circuitry to generate alarm(s) when the alarm signal is supplied thereto. A power source is coupled to the radio receiver for supplying power thereto and for supplying a charging current for the rechargeable power source via an electrical coupling. When a golfer places a club or other accessory on the ground, the divot tool is placed near the club. As long as the golfer remains within a prescribed range, no alarm will be activated. However, if the golfer moves further from the divot tool than the prescribed range, an alarm is produced.
