Abstract: A chemical heating assembly includes a face plate, a chemical packet, a housing, a pair of electrical prongs carried by the housing, and a light assembly. The housing includes a first sliding arrangement and a first snap-fit arrangement, is connected to the face plate, and at least partially defines a pocket for the chemical packet. The light assembly includes a lamp, a second sliding arrangement engaged with the first sliding arrangement, and a second snap-fit arrangement coupled with the first snap-fit arrangement. The light assembly is mechanically connected to the housing and electrically connected with the pair of electrical prongs using the first and second sliding arrangements and the first and second snap-fit arrangements.

Abstract: A system for the therapeutic application of energy to a patient includes a primary unit that has a first generator for generating a first form of energy for therapeutic application to a patient. The primary unit also has a first outlet jack that is operatively connected to the first generator and adapted to receive a first therapeutic applicator, and a module receiver for receiving an upgrade module for enhancing the operation of the system. The system also includes a first therapeutic applicator for use in applying the first form of energy to a patient. The first therapeutic applicator is adapted to be operatively connected to the first generator through the first outlet jack. A preferred embodiment of the invention includes a first generator protocol operational mechanism that is operatively connected to the first generator and adapted to configure the operational parameters of the first generator.
