The invention is a drinking vessel that keeps coffee or other hot beverages hot, yet readily drinkable. The basic design of the invention is an inner beverage vessel and an outer beverage chamber with an insulator chamber of air between them. There is a small hole in the bottom of the inner beverage vessel which allows the contents to flow into the outer beverage chamber. When the drinker tips the cup to drink, beverage flows from the inner beverage vessel to the outer beverage surrounding the cup and pours out of a mouthpiece. The amount of liquid that fills the outer beverage chamber quickly cools enough to drink, but still remains warm. The insulator chamber keeps the beverage in the inner beverage vessel hot for a longer period of time. The lid for the cup is sealed to keep the contents warm but has a small pinhole to eliminate the build-up of a vacuum.

The present invention relates to air rich yarn and fabric with pores throughout the cross-section. Air rich yarn and fabric have high wettability, easy dryability, quick absorbency and increased thickness. When air rich yarn is used to make terry fabric it makes thicker fabric with increased capacity to absorb water and also release moisture faster while drying.

The invention provides a health-care quilt which comprises at least a packing layer. The packing layer comprises a surface fabric and a filling material, wherein the filling material contains fragrant cattail wools. The quilt of the invention is soft and comfortable, has heat retention property, comfortableness and air permeability and has the functions of health protection and moist and insect resistance. The fragrant cattail wools are added in the filling material so the health-care quilt has smooth surface, is light, soft and comfortable, and has heat retention property, comfortableness and air permeability. The health-care quilt further has moist and insect resistance and the functions of health protection such as moistening lung, dispelling fire, resisting bacterial, diminishing inflammation, improving eyesight, calming the nerves, regulating the flow of vital energy, decreasing fat, tonifying spleen, nourishing the life, and lengthening the life. Other Chinese medicinal crops which are conducive to sleep are added in the quilt of the invention so the health protection function of the quilt is further strengthened, the sleeping quality of the user can be improved and the physical fitness of the user can also be strengthened.

Wearable Drinking Garment is a series of inner skeletal tubes lined together and attached to form an X that straps flat around the chest, back and under arm area, with sipping tube at top end and airflow stub tube at bottom end; covered and protected by inner insulated lining to lock in temperature of water/liquid in extreme weather conditions; outer mesh lining for heavy resistance against rough and extreme activities. These three together form the X-shape Vest that locks onto the body, can go under or over clothing, is hands free and lightweight with water flowing through a series of flat tubes, giving an evenly balanced comfortable glove-tight fit to the body, with easy slip on/off convenience. Compete at higher levels while never stopping to get a drink. Second generation has oxygen tubes, mini tank for better breathing, ie: medical purposes, diving, space travel, short/long term mining and more.

A blanket is placed upon an infant in a car seat. The blanket has contoured sleeves and an open back construction of the blanket, as well as stabilization means for securing the base section of the blanket onto an outer, exterior bottom portion of the seat. With these features, the blanket can be readily donned upon an infant that is buckled within a car safety seat without the need to adjust safety straps. The travel blanket includes a base section constructed with a base periphery integrated with the base stabilization means. Lateral sections of the travel blanket further include lateral perimeters appointed for aiding in securing the lateral sections over the infant, without wrapping the torso of the infant. Contoured arm sleeves provide enhanced safety to infants. The sleeves snuggly fit over the infant's wrists and do not have loose flowing material about the arms and wrists, which could present a suffocation risk. Construction of the travel blanket ensures a significant amount of coverage over the entire body of the infant that does not contribute to shifting, zero wrapping of the infant's body/torso, and minimal jostling of the infant when applied.

A hose management system with a longitudinally collapsible duct-like air hose may supply conditioned air for heating and/or cooling an aircraft. The system has a temperature controlled container and a motorized remotely controlled drive with treads for feeding out hose to a length appropriate to hook up to a stationary aircraft. The motorized drive also retracts the hose back into the container. The hose may have scuff strips, hook and loop fasteners, and reflective strips.

A method for self-heating pyrolysis gasification of biomass by gas backflow combustion includes using air and steam as gasifying agent for pyrolysis gasification of the biomass in a pyrolysis gasifier, making the steam generated by a vaporizer into super-heated steam to compensate heat for the interior of the gasifier by waste heat of produced gas, allowing part of the produced gas to flow back into the gasifier to be combusted for supplying heat for gasification, removing tar by high-temperature pyrolysis, ensuring the whole gasifier to be under high temperature, and allowing gasification of biological pyrolytic carbon and cracking of the tar to tend to be through. By the method using the waste heat of combustible gas, part of the gas flows back to supply heat required by the biomass for pyrolysis gasification, interior high temperature of the gasifier is guaranteed, reaction is accelerated, and gasifying efficiency is improved. The produced combustible gas is low-tar gas with caloric value reaching 10MJ/Nm<3>, combustion is isolated from other reactions, and accordingly operation control is facilitated.

A portable apparatus for temporarily warming a plurality of vehicle engines includes a warm fluid circulation loop; an engine fluid circulation loop; a fluid heater; a fluid to fluid heat exchangers; a warm fluid pump; and an engine fluid pump. The warm fluid circulation loop connects the warm fluid heater to the fluid to fluid heat exchanger. The engine fluid circulation loop transfers engine fluid from engine fluid systems to the fluid to fluid heat exchanger. The fluid heater heats the fluid in the warm fluid circulation loop and the warm fluid is then circulated through the warm fluid circulation loop to the fluid to fluid heat exchanger to warm the engine fluid in the engine fluid circulation loop. The warmed engine fluid circulates through the engine fluid system warming the vehicle engine. The apparatus is configured to warm a plurality of vehicle engines at the same time.
