Abstract: A system and related method for igniting a fuel source through an ignition process with the help of a flammable support. The system comprises a housing and flammable support. The housing includes a top portion, a middle portion, and a bottom portion. The bottom portion includes a plurality of first vent holes and the middle portion includes a plurality of second vent holes. An inner lateral surface of the housing includes a plurality of stops associated with the first vent holes in the bottom portion. The plurality of second vent holes does not include stops. Each of the plurality of stops is projected towards the inner lateral surface. The flammable support is ignited utilizing an igniting means, which facilitates a rapid and uniform ignition of the fuel source inside the housing.

Abstract: A system and related method for igniting a fuel source through an ignition process with the help of a flammable support. The system comprises a housing, a thermally resistant handle and the flammable support. The housing includes an outer lateral surface, an inner lateral surface, a top portion, a bottom portion, a top opening and a bottom opening. A plurality of vent holes is positioned at the bottom portion. The inner lateral surface includes a plurality of stops. Each of the plurality of stops is attached to each of the plurality of vent holes and is projected towards the inner lateral surface. The flammable support is positioned over the plurality of stops and is designed to store a fuel source thereon. The flammable support is ignited utilizing an igniting means, which facilitates a rapid and uniform ignition of the fuel source inside the housing.

Abstract: A method of providing phototherapy to a patient. In some embodiments, the method includes the steps of placing a patient on a rigid support surface of a phototherapy device, the support surface being adapted to support the patient without substantial deformation; transmitting light from a light source through a first portion of the support surface to the patient; and limiting light transmission from the light source through a second portion of the support surface.

Abstract: A phototherapy system having a rigid support surface adapted to support a patient without substantial deformation; a light source disposed so as to transmit light through the support surface; and a mask adapted to permit light transmission from the light source through a first portion of the support surface and to limit light transmission from the light source through a second portion of the support surface.
