Abstract: An attachment for catheter device for reducing discomfort for a male patient and comprising an open ended substantially cylindrical housing for receiving a male member therein, and having a closed end apertured for receiving a catheter tube therethrough, the open end of the housing being provided with axially extending fingers for facilitating securing of the housing thereon, the housing functioning for reducing relative movement between the catheter tube and the male member for relieving discomfort of the patient.

Abstract: A device adapted to be interposed between the usual carburetor and manifold of an internal combustion engine, or the like, for receiving the fuel-air mixture from the carburetor and discharging same into the manifold, said device comprising three components or stages: a rotor member, a sonic vibrator, and a heated grid means. The rotor member is mounted in the flow stream of the fuel-air mixture and is rotated by the air intake for causing oscillation of the fuel-air mixture from the carburetor. The fuel-air mixture then enters the sonic vibration stage which causes a molecular mixing of the fuel with the air. The mixed fuel-air is then passed through the heated grid or screen, which not only straightens out the path of the flow stream of the fuel-air mixture, but also promotes vaporization of the fuel-air mixture impinging the screen, and receiving the heat by radiation.
