  • Publication number: 20060217789
    Abstract: An irradiation chamber or panel for providing UV light to the skin. The irradiation chamber or panel can be used to treat both skin ailments and internal ailments. Optionally, irradiation of the skin can be coupled with irradiation of the blood. By coupling skin and blood irradiation, substantially complete irradiation of the patient can occur. The booth comprises a door, preferably with a window to monitor the patient while inside. The door or interior of the chamber has holding bars to facilitate patient support. There is a UV light source in the interior of the chamber to allow irradiation of the patient. There may be holding straps and/or holding bars to help a patient support him or herself in the chamber. The booth or panel has a control system that may be automatically set, set via computer connection, manually set. The control system preferably has an automatic shut-off.

  • Publication number: 20060009821
    Abstract: Light at a therapeutic wavelength is applied to a patient's blood while that blood remains in the body. A port is surgically implanted in the patient. A UV pack or a UV device is connectable to the port. The UV pack has a battery or other power supply and a UV light source. The UV light source is typically LEDs. The UV pack is connected to the port via a tube or catheter. A fiber optic strand or bundle runs through the tube to provide the UV light to the blood. Similarly, the UV device is connected to the port via a tube or catheter. A fiber optic bundle or other light guide directs the light to the blood.

  • Publication number: 20050288746
    Abstract: A device for providing light, preferably UV light to infants and/or children. The device comprises a housing, inside the housing are one or more light sources adapted to emit light at a therapeutic wavelength or wavelengths. A series of apertures in the housing are adapted to align a plurality of light guides with the light source(s). The light guides conduct light to the patient. The light guides are preferably attached to a light guide holding element. The holding element is preferably a panel which is adjustably placed above the patient. The light guides can either provide light directly to the patient or the panel can be the light providing surface.

  • Publication number: 20050083787
    Abstract: The object of the “Vertical Time Watch” or clock is to provide a timepiece that provides a vertically scaled, and therefore linearly graphic, time measurement device which is both esthetically appealing and easy to read, in addition to its conceptual novelty. The hands, bands or indicators run along the vertical scales detailed on the dial or face, or along separate lengthwise channels differentiating hours, minutes, seconds, quarter hours, or other time categories. The watch mechanism may be either mechanical (rotating front and back or by resorts), electronic (LCD or other illuminating technology) or any other.

  • Patent number: 6033305
    Abstract: A produce harvesting apparatus, such as for harvesting tomatoes, which includes apparatus for harvesting produce, such as tomatoes, which includes an enclosed vehicle and a first conveyor belt extending forward of the vehicle for moving produce and associated vines into the enclosed vehicle. The apparatus further includes a ventilation system for drawing air from within the enclosed vehicle and expelling that air through an outlet that is disposed in alignment with the first conveyer belt to direct exhaust air from the enclosed vehicle toward the produce on the first conveyor belt whereby some dirt is dislodged from the produce and vines disposed on the first conveyor belt. The apparatus may have the outlet disposed to direct a stream of air from the enclosed vehicle in a direction that is aligned with the axis of the first conveyor belt.

  • Patent number: 4098176
    Abstract: A coffee brewing device which includes an upper container and a lower container in screw-threaded engagement and captivating a coffee holder between the two. In the upper container an annular distribution ring with a plurality of holes is arranged on the floor so that sugar can be distributed about it. The ring is connected in fluid communication with the coffee holder by an upwardly extending central stem and a downwardly extending tube connected to the distribution ring. When heat is applied to the lower container, water is heated and passes through a bed of coffee in the coffee holder to be brewed and the brew enters the upper container after passage upwardly through the stem and, thence, downwardly through the tube to the distribution ring and out the holes where it dissolves the sugar on the upper container floor to brew a sweetened cup of coffee.

  • Patent number: 3935804
    Abstract: A coffee brewer comprising an upper and lower receptacle joined together and including a means intermediate the upper and lower receptacle for captivating a charge of coffee and water, whereby when water is heated in the lower chamber it will be caused to flow through the captivated charge in a vapor form to rise to the upper chamber to be cooled and form a well brewed cup of coffee.FIELD OF THE INVENTIONIn the past there have been numerous types of coffee brewers and this invention relates to an improved coffee brewing device for small amounts of coffee particularly.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONAs is perhaps well known in a strong brew of coffee, often known as Expresso coffee, it is often desired to utilize sugar. There is a variance in the amount of sugar that is desired; however, it has been found that if the sugar is applied to the water before it is formed into the coffee brew, it has a more uniform and pleasing taste.
