Abstract: An electrotherapy system for stimulating sensory nerves within skin tissue includes a electrode carrier, a pulse generator, an array of skin-penetrating electrodes and surface skin electrodes, a pulse conditioning circuit, and a power source. The system administers biphasic pulsed current at the surface skin electrodes and monophasic pulsed current at each skin-penetrating electrode. The skin-penetrating surfaces and skin contact surfaces of the electrotherapy system may be sterilized or may be replaceable for outpatient reusability.

Abstract: A cervical traction/stretch system includes a traction/stretch mechanism for applying tension between a body's head and shoulders, the traction/stretch mechanism including a bellows; a pump operatively coupled with the traction/stretch mechanism for alternately inflating and deflating the bellows; and an at least semi-automatic controller operatively coupled with the pump for at least semi-automatically controlling the pump by activating and deactivating the same in such manner as to alternately and repeatably inflate and deflate the bellows to prescribed pressure levels over prescribed pressure intervals.

Abstract: An air outlet unit (101) for a large blower assembly comprising an outlet tube member (103) with an upstream inner end in flow communication with the pressure side of an impeller of the blower asembly and a downstream outer end for connection with a duct and a mainly cylindrical inner tube member (105) arranged coaxially to the outlet tube member (103) and having an inner end substantially aligned with the inner end of the outlet tube member (103) and a downstream outer end, the inner tube member (105) being closed by a closing means (106). The inner tube member (105) has an open downstream end (8114) projecting in the downstream direction beyoud the downstream outer end of the outlet tube member (103) to thereby achieve a reduced pressure loss and a more uniform velocity profile.

Abstract: A frying pan has a bottom surface with an outwardly protruding central, planer and circular masses area which is made for contact with an electrically heated plate. There is also a wing-shaped bottom portion on each side of the contact area. The wing-shaped portions have a periphery which account for 30-80% of the total periphery of the frying pan bottom.
