Abstract: Disclosed is a means and method for the treatment of migraine headaches and other disorders of the human body by the application of one or more intense magnetic pulses. By placing an intense magnetic field pulse(s) onto a certain region of the brain, an electrical current can be generated in the cerebral cortex that can stop a migraine headache in some patients or at least decrease its severity. The device to perform this function can be called a “magnetic pulser system.” This system can be made in one piece and powered by plugging into a household or automobile receptacle or from a battery. The pulser system uses capacitors that are first charged to a high voltage and then discharged into a coil that creates the intense magnetic pulse. Both visual and auditory signals can be provided by the pulser system to assist the patient in using the device.

Abstract: The invention provides a device and method for packaging and merchandising personal healthcare products. A first aspect of the invention provides a device for storing health care products, comprising: a plurality of product containers, each product container including: a body; a dispensing portion; and an attachment feature; and a housing including a mating feature adapted to be compatible with the attachment feature of each of the plurality of product containers, wherein connection of the attachment feature of a product container and the mating feature of the housing substantially and non-fixedly secures the product container to the housing.

Abstract: A system includes a board having opposing surfaces and at least one leg connected to one surface of the board through a first pivotable fitting to allow the board and the leg to move between a first position wherein the board and the leg are substantially parallel and a second position wherein the board and the leg are substantially perpendicular. The system also includes a locking mechanism secured to the board through a second pivotable fitting at a first end and configured to rotate at a second end opposite the first end between a storage position extending parallel with the board and a work position extending perpendicular to the board.

Abstract: A trash receptacle having a bag retaining system is disclosed which includes a housing having a body and a cover configured to removably engage the body, a liner having an upper rim and configured to reside within the housing, and a plurality of clips, each having a resilient arm portion and each secured to the cover such that the resilient arm portion of each biases against the upper rim of the liner, thereby retaining a disposable bag in place within the liner, when the cover engages the body. The number of clips is preferably within the range of from 2 to 10, and most preferable within the range of from 2 to 5. The plurality of clips may be removable to allow replacement of clips or adaptation to different system configurations. Alternatively, the clips may be permanently affixed to the cover of the housing. The resilient arm portion of each clip preferably biases against either an outer surface of the liner upper rim or against an inner surface of the liner upper rim.

Abstract: A trash can assembly generally having an inner container, an outer cover and a locking mechanism for securing the two-piece design together is disclosed. The inner container has a wall including a first open end, a base at a second end, and a rim about a periphery of the first open end. The locking mechanism comprises at least one locking tab affixed to the inner container, with at least one locking slot defined within the outer cover and positioned to align with and engage the locking tab when the two pieces are joined. It is preferable that the locking mechanism of the assembly be capable of being unlocked or released by the user from an exterior surface of the outer cover. The outer cover includes a wall defining a hollow, a rim defining a first opening, and a base defining a second opening.
