Abstract: A briefcase is disclosed that is adapted for holstering a gun, as well as for providing an interior space for other items and for providing ballistic protection to a user. The briefcase includes a pair of oppositely disposed five-sided hinged case halves. A pair of case locks may be included in a handle so as to maintain the briefcase in the closed position until the locks are disengaged. A gun holster includes an elongated rigid door flap that is pivotally attached at one end thereof proximate to one short end of an elongated door aperture formed in one side edge of one case half. The door flap is fixed to one side of a gun pocket, the other side of which is fixed to an elongated inner wall that is pivotably attached to the briefcase. In a closed position, the outer surface of the door flap is substantially flush with an outer surface of the briefcase.

Abstract: A multi-layer prosthesis simulates tissue tactility by structuring the plurality of layers of material making up the prosthesis to include lubricant coating between the layers. It is the plurality of layers and the lubricity of their movement which contributes greatly to the tactile simulation of human tissue. Present in the prosthesis is a ballast lumen which moves freely and contributes mass and motility to the prosthesis. The prosthesis finds ready use in the augmentation or restructuring of the human breast as well as in cosmetic modification of other portions of the anatomy as, for example, the chin, the pectorals, the calf muscles, etc.
