Abstract: The present invention provides a pillow for performing roll maneuvers, wherein a subject performs the roll maneuver by following a set of instructions specified on the pillow. The pillow includes one or more segments that are sequentially arranged, wherein the pillow can be folded and unfolded at a central section along a vertical axis using a connecting element. Each segment of the one or more segments, with the set of instructions, is contoured on either side of a horizontal axis of the surface of the pillow. The set of instructions allows the subject to perform the roll maneuvers, which causes debris present in any position in the horizontal canal of the inner ear of the subject to move towards an utricle.

Abstract: A high efficiency method for atomizing a liquid fuel. A liquid fuel is caused to flow into and through a pre-atomization chamber. A first portion of a pressurized atomizing fluid is introduced into the liquid fuel flowing through the chamber so as to at least partially atomize the fuel and provide a first admixture containing atomized fuel and atomizing fluid. The first admixture is delivered from the chamber and caused to flow into and through a first elongated port in an atomizing tip connected to the chamber. A second portion of pressurized atomizing fluid is directed into and caused to flow through a second elongated port in the tip. The first admixture from the first port is introduced into the second port and caused to become intimately intermixed with the second portion of pressurized atomizing fluid so as to further atomize the fuel and provide a second admixture comprising atomized fuel and atomizing fluid.

Abstract: A high efficiency liquid fuel atomizer includes an elongated generally tubular member defining a liquid fuel pre-atomization chamber. The tubular member has an outer wall that extends around the chamber, an upstream end adapted for connection to a source of liquid fuel and a downstream fuel delivery outlet. The atomizer also includes a larger diameter outer tube that is concentric to the tubular member and defines a generally annular pressurized atomizing fluid supply conduit disposed in surrounding relationship relative to the chamber. The outer tube has an inlet adapted for connection to a source of pressurized atomizing fluid and a downstream pressurized atomizing fluid delivery outlet. One or more orifices are provided in the outer wall of the tubular member so as to intercommunicate the chamber and the annular conduit to permit pressurized atomizing fluid to enter the chamber and at least partially atomize the fluid fuel therein.
