A drinking glass base apparatus having a wide base ascending to a narrow top, the under side of the rigid base being hollow and open all the way through the narrow top; a machined lip on the inside of the base to accommodate a partition member; a partition member housing electronic components consisting of a battery holder powered by a battery and activated by an on/off switch supplying energy to an LED. An LED is mounted to point directly up through the top of the narrow portion of the glass base, but extending only a short distance up into the narrow top of the base. A hole at the top of the glass base is machined larger than the hole opening provided for the LED so that the transparent stem of a drinking glass can be inserted and permanently fastened into the top of the narrow base to allow the light from the LED to be projected up into the drinking glass when the switch is turned on. A flat removable membrane material is at the bottom portion of the glass base to conceal the underside of the drinking glass base, and the base will vary in color as will the LED, being one of a number of colored lights.

An automatic pet door system is disclosed. The automatic pet door system has a rectangular frame mounted between studs of a wall defining a passage for entry and exit of a pet. A door slidably moves within the frame between a lower closed position for closing the passage and an upper open position for opening the passage. The door is lifted by a drive means having a motor pulling a cable attached to the door. The motor is energized by a control means in response to a signal received from a magnetic transmitter worn by a pet when the pet approaches the door. A locking means prevents movement of the door upwardly from the closed position unless the door is moved by way of the drive means.

A gyro-stabilized automatic pet door is installed in a hinged door and is actuated by a magnet worn by a pet. The automatic pet door prevents unintended openings caused by the Earth's ambient magnetic field that may trigger a magnetic detector that responds to the magnet worn by the pet. A microelectromechanical systems gyro disposed on the hinged door generates a signal in response to a movement of the hinged door that engages a lockout timer overriding the signal from the magnetic detector and preventing the pet door from opening.

An automatic pet door apparatus includes a frame having a parallel-spaced pair of rigidly connected columns for mounting vertically oriented between wall studs, a lower portion of the frame defining a doorway passage between opposite sides of the walls; a door vertically movable in the frame between closed and open positions; a driver supported by the frame and coupled to the door for lifting the door from the closed position to the open position in response to a motor signal; a radiation transmitter for wearing by the pet and operable for producing a predetermined transmitter signal; a transducer located proximate the frame for producing a transducer signal in response to the transmitter signal when the pet approaches the frame from one side of the wall; and a controller responsive to the transmitter signal for activating the motor signal, whereby the door is raised by the driver, the door opening by sliding within the wall.

A drinking straw for consuming two or three beverages simultaneously has a main body and three inlets in liquid communication with the main body. Each inlet is inserted into an isolated beverage compartment in a bottle or a separate glass. A cap is provided to close off one of the three inlets in order to consume only two rather than three beverages simultaneously.
