Abstract:
A curvilinear spa shell includes a top edge defining four rounded concave corners and four convex side walls in a "clover leaf" like arrangement. Each rounded corner has a radius that exceeds twelve inches. The top edge is substantially symmetrical about an axes that extend through the center of opposing side walls as well as through the center of opposing corners. The curvilinear spa shell can accommodate a water feature for generating a pleasing rushing water sound. The water feature includes a ridge in an interior area of the spa and having a top disposed near a water line of the spa. The water feature utilizes a water inlet adjacent to the ridge opposite a main body of water area in the interior area. The water inlet is placed lower than the top of the ridge. The water feature also includes a slope descending from the top of the ridge in the direction of the water inlet. The slope includes a patterned top surface configured to interact with water flowing over the ridge, down the slope and toward the water inlet to produce the pleasing rushing water sound.
Abstract in simplified Chinese:一种前臂拐杖,具有一可伸缩之腿部,该腿部之远程具有一鞋部组件,该鞋部组件具有凸面,以将与一水平面之接触面积最大化。该腿部之另一末端以刚性的方式被安装于一外壳,该外壳可容纳一以可旋转的方式被安装之握把组件,该握把组件具有一锁定机构,以将该握把组件锁定于一角度范围内之一角度。一可调整之前臂支撑组件被安装于该外壳(对向于该腿部被安装之位置)。该拐杖亦包含使用电池来运作之灯具电路及发声电路,而用户可很容易地启动该灯具电路及该发声电路。
Abstract:
A nasal irrigation device and system is described that provides gentle and effective irrigation of the nasal cavity. Small volumes of irrigation fluid are directed towards the wall of the sinus cavity and collected centrally, using a pliable irrigation device. A focusing feature is provided that serves to hold the attention of children undergoing nasal irrigation in order to distract them from the procedure. Such a focusing feature can be in the form of a stuffed or toy animal that envelops or forms part of the nasal irrigation system.
Abstract:
Device for treating human keratinous material, in particular with the aid of an electric current, comprising at least: - a reservoir containing a composition, in particular cosmetic or dermatological, to be applied to the keratinous material, - a member for dispensing the composition contained in the reservoir, in particular a pump, an end fitting (2) for the application of the composition contained in the reservoir, comprising at least one application member (6), in particular a plurality of application members (6), the application member (6) being received in a housing supplied with composition from the reservoir by the dispensing member, the application member being movable in its housing under the pressure of the composition between a first position and a second position, at least one intermediate storage chamber for the composition being delimited by the bottom of the housing and the application member, the volume of the intermediate chamber varying when the application member passes from its first position to its second position.
Abstract:
A thermally active roller apparatus, which includes a core; an intermediate compliant layer disposed about the core; a cover disposed about the intermediate compliant layer; and a heating element. Included is a thermally active roller apparatus in which the compliant layer may be formed from two or more portions having different stiffnesses. A thermally active or non-thermally active roller apparatus that includes a compliant layer comprising at least two portions of different stiffnesses and wherein the at least two portions are interdigitated to lock them together.
Abstract:
A bubbler assembly including a pipe that telescopes relative to a surface of a pool or spa such that an exit opening of the bubbler is closer to the water surface than is conventionally possible. When in the initial position, a first end of the telescoping pipe is flush or substantially flush with the surface of the pool or the spa. When in the extended position, the first end of the telescoping pipe is adjacent the water surface, which is spaced apart from the surface of the pool or spa. By transferring the exit opening of the bubbler to a location adjacent the water surface, the plume need travel only a small distance through the main body of water before penetrating the water surface.
Abstract:
An apparatus includes a drive mechanism, a patient support mechanism, and an electronic system. The drive mechanism is included in a trolley and is configured to suspend the trolley from a support track. The drive mechanism includes a first sensor configured to sense an operating condition of the drive mechanism. The patient support mechanism couples to the trolley and includes a tether and a second sensor. The tether can be operatively coupled to a patient such that the patient support mechanism supports the patient. The second sensor is configured to sense an operating condition of the patient support mechanism. The electronic system is included in the trolley and has at least a processor and a memory. The processor is configured to define a gait characteristic of the patient based at least in part on a signal received from the first sensor and a signal received from the second sensor.
Abstract:
A defibrillator (AED) and method for using a defibrillator incorporates a user activated button which truncates an ongoing ECG analysis to immediately perform a different defibrillator-related function. For example, the AED may use two different ECG analysis algorithms having different sensitivities to a shockable cardiac rhythm, and a press of the button may automatically shift from a first algorithm to a second algorithm with the higher sensitivity. The button may also allow truncation of ongoing analysis and CPR for immediate preparation for electrotherapy.
