    Abstract: A renal therapy system is disclosed. In an example, the renal therapy system includes a home renal therapy machine that stores, to a log file, dates of when renal therapies were performed and a type of each renal therapy that was performed. The system also includes a server that receives the log file from the home renal therapy machine.

  • Patent number: 6165045
    Abstract: A bra for large breasted women which is both comfortable to wear and allows a user to engage in vigorous physical activity without experiencing discomfort to her breasts. The bra comprises a pair of molded cups, each of which is mounted in a non-stretchable harness member that encircles the breast giving it firm support. Also attached to the harness member is a soft, stretchable cloth cover. The cover both enhances the appearance of the bra and provides additional support for the breast. The two harness members, which are generally mirror images of each other, are removably fastened together in the front by a heavy duty zipper. Rearwardly, each individual harness member is supported by three straps which encircle the user's body. Among these straps are an elastic waistband, a wide shoulder strap of adjustable length, and an underarm strap.
