Abstract: A new method of rapidly objectifying and accessing an acne situation using numerical data and a scale measuring the severity of a particular skin condition and charted over time to allow easy identification of progress of the treatment therefor. The apparatus or software program which is also copyright protected, can be used to both numerically diagnose severity of a skin condition and to chart progress. The software apparatus can also be embeddable to other health related sites as an application to use on their site and a marketing tool. The application can be applied to anything visible on the skin such as bumps, dry patches, dark marks, cuts, scabs, scars or anything visible and useful for counting and objectifying the number or severity of the affliction.

Abstract: A dual adjustable feather jig for simultaneously holding a wood piece firmly against a stationary rip fence and against the top surface of the worktable. The feather jig includes a lower feather board with a ‘T’ channel bar adjustably mounted on the bottom surface of the lower feather board capable of engaging the ‘T’ slot formed on a standard worktable. The ‘T’ channel is adjustably mounted on the lower feather board to allow the lower feather board to move laterally (X direction) over the worktable when the ‘T’ channel bar is inserted into the ‘T’ slot. Mounted transversely on the lower feather board is an upper feather board assembly that includes a vertical feather board designed to be extended over a piece of wood stock to hold it down against the worktable. The vertical feather board is connected to a slider arm that slides longitudinally over a riser board securely mounted to the top surface of the lower feather board.

Abstract: A method of coating a filter medium in a flowing gaseous stream, the method comprising: directing a gas stream along a feed path; combining with said gas stream a multiplicity of finished glass dust particles; positioning a fibrous filter medium along said feed path downstream of the point at which the glass dust particles are combined with said stream, the glass dust particles forming a coating on said filter medium to assist in the capture thereon of hazardous waste material in said stream, when said stream contains such material; maintaining the temperature of the gas stream below the softening point of the glass particles; and intermittently removing the particulate coating material and any such hazardous waste material from the filter medium and collecting the same; and a system for accomplishing the same.
