An adjustable safety utility knife includes an elongated ergonomically shaped handle formed of two elongate shell members each having a peripheral edge and an outer generally convex surface and an inner generally concave surface. The shell members are fastened at the peripheral edges along a vertical parting plane to form an elongated internal cavity. The handle defines a front end, a back end and an intermediate portion suitable for being gripped by a user and also defining top and bottom surfaces extending along opposite sides of the shell members along said peripheral edges. The handle has a slot-like aperture at the front end substantially aligned with the parting plane and dimensioned for passage of a flat cutting blade therethrough. A guide element within the elongated cavity guides the cutting blade between a first position for safely storing the blade fully inside said cavity and a second position for selectively extending the blade beyond the aperture to expose at least a portion thereof. A manually operated button arranged on the top surface is coupled to the guide element for selectively moving the blade between the first and second positions. The handle has a rear opening at the back end for providing access to the elongated internal cavity. A carrier frame has a blade cartridge receiving compartment and dimensioned to be removably receivable within the cavity through the rear opening between a retracted position in which the carrier frame is fully stored within the internal cavity of the handle end and an extended position in which the carrier frame is at least partially moved exteriorly of the back end to provide access of the cartridge receiving compartment. A blade cartridge for storing a plurality of flat cutting blades is receivable within the blade cartridge receiving compartment.

A ring system that when worn by the user and attached to handheld devices, enhances the security, control and use of such devices. The ring system includes a conical ring element, a receiver, a connector, a terminal end and an anchor pad. One or more of these elements may be an integral member of the ring system depending on the method of manufacture. The ring element may be attached to the device via a receiver, a connector, a terminal end and an anchor pad. The anchor pad is attached to the back of the handheld device and the terminal end of the connector is attached to the anchor pad by means of connection. The conical ring element may be worn on the user's finger in variable positions. Thus utilized, the ring system places the handheld device in close proximity to the user's fingers and palm enhancing control, security and manipulation of the device.

A process for bonding a denture to the tissue surfaces of the jaw over which the denture is superimposed during use which comprises the steps of providing at the interface of the denture and the jaw's tissues, a liquid irreversible hydrocolloid of an alginate dental impression formulation, applying pressure to the denture so that it presses into the tissue surfaces and causes the liquid hydrocolloid to flow within such interface, and then allowing the hydrocolloid to solidify within the interface. Also described is a novel relatively-thin film, settable hydrocolloid denture aid and the set, cushiony, relatively-thin film denture aid obtained from it.

A leveling device for laying tiles or the like includes a tie-rod having a support base for edge portions of one or more adjacent tiles, a projecting element from the base, which can be arranged into junctions between adjacent tiles, and a knob coupling with the projecting element and having an outlet pass-through hole for a free end of the projecting element. The knob is configured to force an edge portion of the adjacent tiles against the base to level the placement and is configured to receive and retain, by snap coupling elements, a blocking tie-rod hooking and retaining the projecting element inside a pass-through channel defined in the blocking tie-rod. The blocking tie-rod is sectioned into two coupling half-shells, embracing and constraining the projecting element when inserted in the cap, and mutually separating to leave free the projecting element when at least partially extracted from the cap.

Power is either provided onboard or offboard. An output connector may be integrated into the circuit platform or via an endpin jack. Input signal connectors, present on the circuit platform, are configured to accept pickups that are mounted either internally or externally to the body of the musical instrument, or to accept a combination of internal and external pickup mounts.

Danger of electrocution and fire from high voltage systems in electric and hybrid electric vehicles is mitigated by isolating high voltage electric power sources, of vehicles involved in accidents, in a sealed enclosure.It involves the use of voltage disconnect devices to rapidly, manually or automatically disconnect and isolate the vehicle energy storage devices from the electrical system of the vehicle with ease and safety. The electrical power source may be a battery, a battery pack, a capacitor or other device which may be used to store electrical energy onboard a vehicle.

A microwave cooking oven return of a food item to an original placement parking of the oven's rotating table concurrent with the end of a selected cook-time. The cooked foodstuff ends-up parked at the same frontward facing turntable orientation that existed at the onset of the oven's overall operating cycle by synchronizing overall turntable circumrotation time with a preferred cook time. This absolute concurrency of return-parking and selected cook-time completion safely provides for unencumbered open-door access enabling immediate removal of the foodstuff from the turntable at the very moment of cooking completion.

A tool (accessory) for barbecuing for both charcoal and propane grills. This device addresses the problem of being able to remove the top grill (grate) from barbecue grill units both easily and safely. Hook-Twist & Lift grill hooks consist of two handles with engineered metal rods set at a predetermined place on the handle. The placement of the metal rods allow the device to be used on approximately ninety percent of the grills in use at this point in time. The use of Hook-Twist & Lift grill hooks allow for the removal of the top grill (grate) while the grill is in operation and when off. Usage avoids the danger of using implements not specially designed to remove grates which can cause injury to user.
