Abstract: A non-toxic insect repellent concentrate formulation utilizing a plurality of all natural active components has been proven to be effective in repelling mosquitoes for periods of between six to eight weeks, with one application. The insect repellent concentrate formulation includes a plurality of natural essential oils comprising at least one emulsifying agent to maintain the oils in a stable solution. A pH conditioning agent may be added to assure the formulation is pH balanced for application to grass, plants, and trees, without detriment. The formulation may be provided as either a concentrate, or at dilutions ready for direct application, and may be applied by any of a variety of methods including broadcast spraying, boom applicators, misting systems, aerosol spray devices, etc.

Abstract: A dental tool for the removal of dental appliances or oral devices from a user's mouth comprises a universal handle which is substantially cylindrical. Interconnected thereto is an engagement head comprising a first engagement member extending upward and outward opposite the handle, and a second engagement member extending downward and outward opposite the handle. The first engagement member and second engagement member are disposed in angled relation to one another, each terminating in a broad distal tip having a curvilinear edge. The first and second engagement members further contain contact surfaces for contacting and engaging the dental appliance or oral device. The dental tool is comprised of a rigid material, with a resilient portion overlaid on at least the contact surfaces of the first and second engagement members and distal tips thereof. The dental tool may also be stored in a case to make a kit for removing oral devices.

Abstract: The invention provides techniques for diagnosing medical conditions and providing appropriate treatment at a patient's home residence. A mobile x-ray team can be dispatched to the patient's home residence. A technical team reviews patient data to determine a proper therapy plan. A mobile radiation therapy apparatus is dispatched to the patient's home as required by the therapy plan. The mobile radiation therapy apparatus includes a radiation source and shielding, and is capable of superficial radiation therapy and/or High Dose Rate (HDR) implant therapy. For HDR therapy, the mobile radiation therapy apparatus itself is a specialized radiation vault which the patient will enter. The technical team adjusts the therapy plan based on the additional analysis, and the mobile radiation therapy apparatus is dispatched in accordance with adjusted therapy plan.

Abstract: A surgical procedure for performing liposculpture on the human body comprising defining a surgical site where the liposculpture is to be performed including substantially 360 about at least the torso portion of the body. The surgical site is infiltrated with a predetermined quantity of solution and subsequently performing multi-layer emulsification of fat deposits about the surgical site utilizing technology comprising “vibration amplification of sound energy at resonance” or (VASER), wherein the multi-layer emulsification includes at least a superficial layer emulsification of fat deposits and a deep layer emulsification of fat deposits. Subsequently, a multi-layer liposuction extraction of the emulsified fat deposits is performed, wherein the multi-layer liposuction extraction comprises a deep layer liposuction; a superficial layer liposuction and an intermediate layer liposuction.

Abstract: The present invention provides for methods and systems for digitally processing an audio signal. Specifically, the present invention provides for a headliner speaker system that is configured to digitally process an audio signal in a manner such that studio-quality sound that can be reproduced.

Abstract: An exercise assembly structured to facilitate the performance, by an individual, of a plurality of different exercises depending on the orientation or position in which the exercise assembly is disposed. A base includes an elongated configuration and has a track assembly mounted thereon. Hand grips are movably connected to the base a manner which allows there reciprocal movement in opposite directions along different lengths of the base while also being capable of disposition in any one of a plurality of fixed locations along the track assembly. A support assembly is movably connected to the base and disposable in a supporting orientation and a non-supporting orientation, wherein the base is cooperatively disposed in a first or a second operative position depending on the supporting or non-supporting orientation of the support assembly. One or more accessories are connectable to the base and/or track assembly and are structured to facilitate the performance of an additional plurality of exercises thereon.

Abstract: A speaker assembly includes a frame and a surround that suspends a diaphragm from the frame. An outer portion of the surround is disposed, dimensioned, and configured to permit the mounting of the surround to the frame such that the surround, itself, does not need to include an outwardly extending flange and/or clamp. Rather, the outer portion of the surround is generally disposed on the frame, with the mounting surface of the outer portion of the surround extending inward relative to the outer periphery of the surround. A reinforcement member is cooperatively structured with the surround to reinforce the surround during operation of the speaker assembly. The reinforcement member has a ringed configuration that includes a plurality of offsets each structured to facilitate attachment of the reinforcement member to the frame.

Abstract: A lancet device including a housing with an at least partially open interior, a cocking seat coupled with the housing and structured to define an open interior therewith, a lancet with a piercing tip moveably disposed within the open interior, and a biasing assembly engaging the lancet. The cocking seat is structured to engage the lancet and retain the lancet against a force of the biasing assembly so as to maintain a potential energy of the biasing assembly. A release element is provided to at least partially disengage the lancet from the cocking seat such that the potential energy of the biasing assembly moves the lancet relative to the cocking seat and drives the piercing tip of the lancet at least temporarily into a piercing orientation.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for therapeutically treating at least a portion of a body. Apparatus and methods according to various embodiments of the disclosure include a platform for supporting at least a portion of a body. The platform includes at least one plate, a drive lever supported from the plate, and a damping member including a cantilever spring in contact with the drive lever. The platform is actuated at a first frequency. Next, the damping member is oscillated to create a force with a second frequency. Then, the force is distributed to at least a portion of the platform.
