A cushion for an ice chest with integrated solar panels designed to be used as an auxiliary power source. The cushion includes a first solar module, a second solar module, a cushion par, and an attachment mechanism. The first solar module and the second solar module each include a structural panel and a plurality of solar cells. The solar cells are distributed about a first surface of the structural panel. The first solar module and the second solar module are laterally and hingedly attached to each other to allow for a closed and open configuration. The cushion pad is adjacently connected to the structural panel of the second solar module, opposite the solar cells of the second solar module, to act as a seat. The attachment mechanism is adjacently mounted to the structural panel of the first solar module for attachment to a lid of the ice chest.

A method and apparatus include attaching a lighted cup holder to a seating arrangement. The lighted cup holder includes a cup holder body and a light-producing light source, with the cup holder body being attached to the seating arrangement and having a cup receptacle therein, the light-producing source being disposed within the cup receptacle for illuminating the receptacle. A light-sensitive element operatively connected to the light source selectively controls production of light by the light source in such a manner that illumination of the cup holder is provided only under conditions where visibility is reduced to the point that it becomes difficult to locate the cup holder. The light-sensitive element is mounted on a master lighted cup holder and controls illumination of the master lighted cup holder and one or more slave lighted cup holders operatively connected to the master lighted cup holder.

A movable seat such as for use with a gaming device is disclosed and described herein. An example chair includes a chair portion and a base portion. The base portion includes a support member, a slide portion, and a floorplate. The example chair portion is affixed to the support member, and the support member is movably affixed to a mounting plate in the slide portion to enable the chair portion to slide along at least a portion of a length of the floorplate.

An improved binaural recording system (12) comprising two hollow artificial auricles (6a, 6b) mounted on two opposite left and right sides of a dummy head (1). Two microphone capsules are mounted inside said auricles (6a, 6b) having a sound collection face (15a, 15b) facing the outside of said auricles (6a, 6b) and arranged inside a recess (17a, 17b) of the artificial auricle. This system allows, in stereo listening to faithfully perceive and discriminate the direction of origin of the sound sources that move in front of a hypothetical listener according to the same direction of movement from top to bottom, from front to back, from right to left, or vice versa, of the sound sources at the time of recording. Furthermore, further microphone capsules may be provided, mounted on said dummy head.
