A cooker has a pan of circular configuration with an open upper end receiving a circular lid and a bottom having apertures therein. A disk shaped drip tray disposed below the pan and having upstanding lugs thereon is selectively moved between raised and lowered positions using opposite latching mechanisms which adjustably couple the drip tray to the pan. In the raised position, the drip tray engages the bottom of the pan and the lugs on the drip tray extend into and close the apertures in the pan. In the lowered position, the lugs are removed from the apertures, permitting greases, fats and similar substances to drain through the apertures and onto the drip tray. The latching mechanisms permit separation of the drip tray from the pan for separate cleansing thereof such as by placing in a dishwasher. When food cooked in the pan is ready to be served, the pan and attached drip tray are placed within an opening in a circular serving tray which has removable trays positioned about the circumference thereof for holding food items such as toppings for the food cooked in the pan. An electrical heating element embedded within the bottom of the pan provides heat for cooking.

An automated brush cleaning and drying apparatus includes a housing, a cleaning solution bottle coupled to the housing and a spray nozzle, a fan coupled to the housing, a support frame assembly disposed within the housing, a rotation mechanism assembly coupled to the support frame assembly and having a rotatable claw designed to engage with the brush's end tip, and a height adjustment mechanism assembly operably coupled to the support frame assembly within the housing. The height adjustment mechanism assembly adjusts the height of the support frame assembly to a first position to permit the rotation mechanism assembly to drive the rotatable claw to rotate the brush as the spray nozzle disperses the cleaning solution from the bottle to the brush's bristles. The height adjustment mechanism assembly adjusts the height of the support frame assembly to a second position to align the brush's bristles with the fan.

A skateboard includes a motorized drive assembly and a motorized brake assembly, both operable with a wireless remote control to be carried by a rider. The drive assembly is free-wheeling permitting normal use of the skateboard in the event of battery depletion. The brake system includes a motor operable through a simple machine structure to move a brake pad against a brake disk mounted against a wheel. A self-adjustment mechanism presets the brake pad a predetermined distance from the disk prior to brake application. Motor enertia is relied on to store potential energy in a wheel axel in accordance with an associated method of operation.

Bosom-support garments such as brassieres reduce interference with lymph flow. A garment according to the invention includes a piece of flexible material which when worn, covers at least a portion of a human female breast, along with means for temporarily relaxing or repositioning the garment relative to the lymph drainage pathways while the garment is worn. The means for temporarily relaxing or repositioning the garment may be passive, in the sense that such means operate through movements by the wearer of the garment, or active, in that manually or automatically operated apparatus are used to control the relaxing or repositioning of the garment.
