Abstract: An eyewear storage device may include a receptacle which may be coupled to a receiver. The receptacle may comprise a cavity for receiving portions of an article of eyewear. The receiver may comprise a first arm which may be movably coupled to a second arm. The first arm may have a first finger, and the first finger may have a first finger gripping surface. The second arm may have a base, and the base may have a base gripping surface. The first finger gripping surface and the base gripping surface may be movable towards and away from each other. Preferably, the first finger gripping surface and the base gripping surface may be positioned on opposing sides or surfaces of an object, such as a cell phone, and the first arm and the second arm may contact and tension against opposing sides of the object to grip the object.

Abstract: Disclosed is a durable, lightweight, nonslip, camouflage, structurally superior climbing treestand that is inexpensive and simple to manufacture, may be easily compacted for transportation, and includes one or more of arm/weapon rests, interchangeable grips, tactile and visual indicators, safety harnesses, nonslip, adjustable belts, and receptacles for bumpers, sockets, and the like. Also disclosed is a parabolic belt capable of firmly gripping a tree trunk to prevent slippage when used in conjunction with interchangeable or permanent platform grips. Tactile and visual indicators allow a user to ensure that the belt is optimally installed even in conditions in which the user may not view such indicators. Bumpers and safety harnesses are incorporated to prevent falls from heights through trees, tree limbs, and the like. Interchangeable sockets allow the user to customize the treestand to meet the user's needs (e.g., photography, hunting, snacking, etc.).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the cold cranking ampere (CCA) value of a battery under test in which an algorithm of battery CCA as a function of battery internal resistance (IR) is provided, the IR of the battery under test is measured, and the measured IR determines the CCA value of the battery under test from the algorithm. The method and apparatus are used either in a vehicle in which the battery is installed or on a stand alone basis.
