A personal use plow for pushing, but not limited to, snow and slush from one's driveway by most passenger automobiles and/or ATVs that is attached using a unique strapping and cog bracing system. The plow is made of injected molded structural foam plastic and comes in five (5) separate panels that can be easily assembled into a solid plow blade. This material is lightweight and allows for easy transportation, storage and use. When assembled, the plow can be used either in the front or back of the vehicle. The plow attaches to the vehicle by a special hook, designed as part of this patent, which attaches to the hood, trunk or luggage rack of the vehicle. All parts for the functionality of the plow are contained on the plow itself, so there are no brackets or hitches required to be attached to the bumpers of the vehicle.

A convertible snow plow system attachable to frame of a light duty truck, SUV or other suitable vehicle. The blade portion of the plow system is movable between deployed and retracted positions. In the retracted position the blade is positioned in front of the radiator and headlights of the vehicle functioning as a brush guard. To permit air to pass through the plow blade to the radiator, the blade comprises a plurality of movable louvers that can be opened when the plow is in the retracted position.

A system effective to communicate a message between two devices. A first device may include a plaintext to monoid element module effective to receive a plaintext message and apply a first function to the plaintext message to produce a first monoid element. A monoid element evaluator module may be effective to receive and insert submonoid generators into a monoid expression to produce a second monoid element in response. An encryption device module may be effective to apply a second function to the first monoid element, the second monoid element, the monoid expression, and a third monoid element to produce an encrypted plaintext message. Decryption may be performed on the encrypted plaintext message knowing the private key which includes the first function, the second function, the third monoid element and the submonoid generators list.

A power tool includes a handle assembly, a power supply, and a temperature control module; where the handle assembly includes a left grip and a right grip, where a first end of the left grip is coupled to a body of the power tool, a second end of the left grip is coupled to a first end of the right grip, and a second end of the right grip is coupled to the body of the power tool; the temperature control module is coupled to the handle assembly and the power supply separately; and the power supply is configured to power the temperature control module so that the temperature control module is configured to heat the handle assembly.

An impeller assembly for a snowthrower includes a flexible impeller configured to rotate about an axis, wherein the flexible impeller extends radially from the axis to an impeller radial distance, and a cutting implement extending radially from the axis to a cutting implement radial distance less than the impeller radial distance, wherein the cutting implement is spaced apart from and does not contact the flexible impeller.

A snowblower comprises an auger housing extending along a longitudinal axis and being configurable in a compacted configuration and in an extended configuration wherein a length of the auger housing considered along the longitudinal axis is greater in the at least one extended configuration than in the compacted configuration; and an auger assembly mounted to the auger housing and comprising: a telescopic drive shaft assembly including at least first and second shaft sections slidably mounted to each other to substantially conform to the length of the auger housing in each one of the compacted configuration and the at least one extended configuration; and snow-gathering devices mounted to the at least first and second shaft sections and rotatable therewith.
