Abstract: A geothermal heat containment barrier operable to be manipulated through an opening of a vault by at least partially folding the geothermal heat containment barrier, and positioned substantially horizontally against walls of the vault to reduce heat transfer through the barrier is provided. The barrier includes a central insulating core, a flexible outer frame, and an outer sealing trim. The central insulating core includes top and bottom outer surfaces and a perimeter edge. The central insulating core includes and/or contains an insulating material. The flexible outer frame has a shape memory and includes at least one flexible component having ends together such that the flexible outer frame is continuous and closed. The outer sealing trim is attached to the top and bottom outer surfaces and wraps around the perimeter edge of the central insulating core. The outer sealing trim is operable to press against the wall of the vault.

Abstract: A small case that can be injection-molded from liquid silicone rubber or a similar elastomer that protects earbuds or other components from damage and manages the wire to prevent tangling. The case has an integral pocket that holds most styles of earbuds or other items with several optional fingers that are flexible and compliant. The earbuds or other component can be inserted into the pocket and the fingers close over the earbuds or other items thereby protecting and/or retaining them. The wires can then be fed through one of the slots and wrapped around a spool. A reversible cover can then be flipped to a closed position to cover and retain the wire.

Abstract: A disc cleaner (10) for cleaning discs (D), which in some aspects can clean vertically oriented discs. The disc cleaner may include a housing (20) for supporting a disc, a drive assembly supported by the housing and engageable with the disc to rotate the disc, and means for applying cleaning agent (B) to a data recording surface of the disc (R) while the disc is supported by the housing. The disc cleaner may include housing that facilitates handling of the disc by its central hole, a drive assembly disposed within the housing, the drive assembly frictionally rotating the disc by its perimeter, and a switch (75) for actuating the drive assembly when the disc is at least partially inserted in the housing.
