Abstract: Provided is a container for drinking liquid that can have the shape of an adult toy. The container can include a body, cap for removably attaching to the body, the cap having an opening configured to allow liquid to travel from inside of the container to outside of the container, a cup for holding liquid placed inside of the body, the cup maintained in proximity to a top of the body, a first one way valve placed above the cup for regulating flow of the liquid, an optional second one way valve configured to allow air to move inside the body from outside; wherein liquid leaves the cup and moves to the outside of the container through the opening in the cap, and air from outside moves into the body through the second one way valve. Also provided are mannequins having such containers.

Abstract: Provided is a container for drinking liquid comprising: a. a reservoir for holding liquid, the reservoir made from a material that shrinks as liquid leaves the reservoir, b. an opening for the liquid to leave the reservoir and exit the container; and c. a one way valve configured to be actuated by a person sucking the opening; wherein when the person sucks, the one way valve opens and the liquid leaves the container while the reservoir shrinks to compensate for volume of the liquid that left the container.

Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) bulb assembly including a bulb enclosure having a wall defining an open end and forming a cavity. The wall has an inner surface, an outer surface, and defining an elongate protrusion extending outwardly from an opposite end inwardly into the cavity toward the open end for a distance at least half way to the open end. The protrusion increases an area of both the inner surface and the outer surface for increased heat transfer capability and for refraction of light directed toward the protrusion. The protrusion has a diminishing cross sectional periphery along a longitudinal axis of the protrusion in a relationship to a distance from the opposite end toward the open end. At least one LED mount mounted by a base supports at least one LED disposed within the cavity. The bulb enclosure sealingly connects to the base at the open end.

Abstract: Described are systems and methods relating to database query optimization and query cost estimation. The approach is described in the context of searching balanced and semi-balanced tree indexes such as B-trees, B+ trees, and R-B trees. The described approach may be used for both simple and composite queries, and the described approach may be used for relational queries, i.e., where a variable is less than or greater than a certain value and the database is being used to find the set of records that satisfy the relation. Further, the described approach may be used for generalized N-ary tree queries and cost estimations.

Abstract: This invention provides a novel, synergistic composition and method for reducing corrosion, particularly white rust corrosion, on galvanized metal surfaces in industrial water systems. The composition is a synergistic blend and preferably comprises from about 0 to about 10 weight percent of an amine-based white rust corrosion reducer and from about 10 to about 90 weight percent of a benzotriazole. In a method for using the synergistic blend, an effective amount of the blend is introduced onto the galvanized metal surface to form a barrier on the surface. After one or more time intervals, the composition is optionally overlayed onto the initial barrier by reintroducing an effective amount of the composition onto the galvanized metal surface.
