Abstract: A shedder is disclosed. The shredder includes a waste receptacle that has an interior waste receiving space, and a shredder mechanism that includes a motor and cutter elements. The shredder mechanism is positioned so that shredded articles are discharged downwardly into the waste receiving space. The receptacle includes a waste opening separate from the shredder mechanism for enabling articles to be discarded though the waste opening and received in the waste receiving space without passing through the shredder mechanism. A cover is moveable between a closed position that covers the waste opening, and an open position that opens the waste opening. A sensor for sensing the position of the cover is operatively connected to the shredder mechanism so that the shredder mechanism is inoperable at least when the sensor senses that the cover is in the open position. Other variations and improvements to shredders are also disclosed.

Abstract: A personal wearable communication and speaker entertainment system which provides improved quality audio response and which does not interfere with the wearer's activities or block environmental sounds is disclosed. The speaker system is connected to or in communication with a conventional source of audio signals, such as radio, tape player, CD player, cellular telephone or the like.

Abstract: A remotely controlled aircraft has a motor controlled by a remotely located control unit having a flight string releasibly coupled at the aircraft. The aircraft receives a signal at the aircraft activating the remote control motor. The flight string is released at the aircraft and the flight direction of the aircraft is controlled by the remote control motor based on the received signal.

Abstract: A remotely controlled aircraft has a center member and a steering assembly. The steering assembly comprises a carriage, a remote control motor, a center member and a connecting arm. The carriage pivotably is attached to the center member. The remote control motor has a control arm and is disposed within the carriage. The center member arm has a first end and a second end. The first end of the center member arm is fixedly attached to the center member. The center member and the center member arm is arranged in a non-parallel manner. The connecting arm has a first end and a second end. The first end of the connecting arm is pivotably attached to the second end of the center member arm. The second end of the connecting arm is pivotably attached to the control arm of the remote control motor.
