Abstract: This invention is an automatic or semi-automatic bladder relief system which increases sanitation and comfort for users requiring a means to dispose of urine in the absence of sanitary facilities, such as aircraft pilots and incontinent individuals. This invention incorporates an inflatable urine collection means that may be deflated after use. The power unit incorporates a battery that is integrated into a disposable urine storage bag or into a disposable female pad or male cup. This invention utilizes a disposable urine storage bag with an isolated cleaning fluid chamber with a directional valve and pump system automatically rinsing and sanitizing the pump, hoses, collection means and the user with a cleaning fluid stored in the cleaning fluid chamber of the disposable urine storage bag. The disposable urine storage bag contains absorbent polymer crystals absorbing the urine as it is deposited in the bag during use.

Abstract: This invention relates to a fully adjustable personal back rest and seat cooling and heating system specifically designed to provide several hours of high efficiency cooling or heating when used by a user as either a seat cushion and back or a mattress or sleeping surface. This combination personal back rest and seat cooling and heating system invention is capable of delivering several hours of high efficiency personal cooling or heating without the use of caustic or toxic chemicals with virtually no risk of injury associated with its use. This personal back rest and seat cooling and heating system invention is portable, battery powered, lightweight and durable in construction and specifically designed for use in harsh climatic conditions where access to refrigeration and heating are limited or unavailable.

Abstract: This invention relates to an automatic or semi-automatic bladder relief and hydration system, designed to increase sanitation and comfort for users that require disposal of urine and hydration in the absence of sanitary facilities or potable fluids. This invention incorporates an inflatable urine collection means that may be deflated after use. A dual chambered back pack stores urine and potable fluid and/or liquid food. This invention incorporates disposable batteries integrated into a disposable urine storage bag. The disposable urine storage bag has a cleaning fluid chamber with a directional valve and pump system that automatically rinses and sanitizes the pump, hoses, collection means and the user with cleaning fluid stored in the cleaning fluid chamber. The disposable urine storage bag also contains absorbent polymer crystals capable of absorbing the urine as it is deposited in the bag during use.

Abstract: This invention is an automatic or semi-automatic bladder relief system for users that require disposal of urine in the absence of sanitary facilities, like aircraft pilots and incontinent individuals. It incorporates an inflatable urine collector deflatable after use. It incorporates disposable batteries into a disposable urine storage bag with an isolated cleaning fluid chamber with directional valve and pump system that automatically rinses and sanitizes the pump, hoses, collection means and user with cleaning fluid stored in the cleaning fluid chamber. The urine storage bag has a failsafe device in the event of system failure, it being detachable from the pump with a stored extendable portion forming a seal with user's body allowing urination into the bag without urine splash-back and upon completion the user places the extended portion back into the unit closing it with a ziplock. The storage bag contains absorbent polymer crystals absorbing the deposited urine.

Abstract: This invention relates to an automatic or semi-automatic bladder relief system, specifically designed to increase the overall sanitation and comfort for users that may require a means to dispose of their urine in the absence of other sanitary facilities due to situations such as aircraft pilots and incontinent individuals. For user comfort this invention incorporates an inflatable urine collection means that may be deflated after use.

Abstract: A new, novel and useful folding cup that fits into a cup holder. The cup is designed to fit into an array of cup holders such as the cup holders that are often built into modern motor vehicles in an arm rest or dash of such an automobile. The cup may be made from paperboard as a paperboard blank or any other suitable material that may be formed into a collapsible or expandable configuration wherein the bottom panels form a generally circular shape which may include a polygonal configuration. When the cup is in the folded condition, the cup is in a generally flat condition for economy of storage and shipping. By squeezing opposite edges of the flat structure the cup expands such that its bottom takes on its generally circular shape which may include a polygonal configuration and the top opens to accept whatever substance will be placed in the cup. This new, novel and useful folding cup that fits in a cup holder may be used as a container for french fries, chicken pieces or bread sticks, etc.

Abstract: The object of the invention is to provide an automatic module and cassette station detecting and aligning semiconductor wafer/substrate material handling unit with a thermal processing chamber module having an integrated, sturdy, chemical and temperature resistant wafer lift pins and door actuation apparatus. One of the benefits that is derived from this apparatus is the ability to quickly and easily attach various processing modules at any docking position of the semiconductor wafer/substrate material handling unit (hereinafter MHU). The MHU of this apparatus has the additional benefit of a cassette station that automatically aligns and detects a plurality of different size and shape semiconductor wafer/substrate cassettes. The semiconductor wafer/substrate cassettes may also be functionally attached to a module that is docked to the MHU for use.
