Abstract: Apparatus, method and system for delivering a sterile unit dose of ozone that may include concentrating oxygen from air, which can include pressurizing at least one zeolite chamber having at least one zeolite material where the at least one zeolite material selectively adsorbs a substantial amount of nitrogen and not a substantial amount of oxygen. An oxygen-ozone cell may be filled with substantially concentrated oxygen from the at least one zeolite chamber. The oxygen-ozone cell may then be sequestered. The oxygen-ozone cell may be removed and may be engaged with an ozone conversion unit. The ozone conversion unit may charge the substantially concentrated oxygen generating a predetermined concentration of ozone. The oxygen-ozone cell may be disengaged from the ozone conversion unit.

Abstract: A central hub server stands between a number of affiliate web sites and a number of vendor web sites to execute sales of vendor products featured on the affiliate web sites. Affiliate sites sign-up with the hub server and select products offered by vendors. The affiliate sites feature selected vendor products on their web sites. A buyer that browses an affiliate web site causes identifiers of the buyer, the affiliate site, and the product to be sent to the hub server. The hub server searches a database to find a picture of the product, its current price and the buyer's previously stored credit information and shipping address. The hub server returns a form to the user visiting the affiliate site, including a picture of the product, its price and a submit icon superimposed on the picture. If the buyer clicks on the submit icon, the purchase information is returned to the hub server.
Abstract: A ventilation interface device is disclosed that may include a hollow cannula, at least one nasal insert and at least one exhaust port or may include a mask designed to cover a user's nose, mouth or both nose and mouth. The at least one nasal insert may be formed so as to fit in any size nares of any user and may be detachable. Additionally, the at least one exhaust port may be in any of a variety of orientations and, in some embodiments, contain sealable ports.
Abstract: When a connection request is sent from a telephone terminal, even if it is difficult to set a communication path to the destination telephone terminal only through the packet network, a circuit switching network is also used in cooperation with the packet network in order to set a communication path therethrough, so that call loss is prevented from occurring. In accordance with the communication path setting system of the present invention, when it is determined that an ADSL modem 22 connected to a VoIP network 1 is not operating, the MGC 62 sets a communication path between a telephone terminal 11 and a telephone terminal 12 through the VoIP network 1, a public switched telephone network 2 and a voice band signal processing unit 230 of the ADSL modem 22.
Abstract: What is provided is a protective environment for paint paraphernalia and wet paint being used in a painting process. Examples of paint paraphernalia includes paint brushes, paint rollers, paint trays, and paint cans. The protective environment in one form is a flexible polyvinyl chloride of at least ½ mil in thickness. The flexible polyvinyl chloride is arranged two provided a three sided connecting edge with the fourth side left unconnected for an opening into the interior portion of the protective environment. The protective environment is placed over the paint paraphernalia and marked with various paint paraphernalia characteristics to aide in the temporary storage and reuse of the paint paraphernalia during a painting job.

Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for handling calls. In one embodiment of the invention, a call handling system is configured for handling a variety of emergency and/or non emergency related calls. For example, the call handling system may allow a call handler to recognize and respond to certain received call information, such as that information relating to fire, police, emergency medical and/or homeland security. The call handling system comprises a call interface configured for receiving the call information. A processor is communicatively coupled to the call interface and configured for processing the call information to initiate a protocol. This protocol may, as it progresses, be used to generate data for use in a CAD system. The CAD system may subsequently dispatch responders based on the generated data.

Abstract: A detachable suction-based holder in accordance with at least one embodiment of the present invention is disclosed. Such a suction-based holder can include a lever-actuated suction portion having a substantially cup-like suction housing and a substantially circular suction interface. The suction interface can be made from an elastomeric material and further can have an inner face and an outer face. The suction holder can also include a substantially tubular receptacle portion having a substantially tubular receiving channel defined therein. The receptacle portion can have a hold actuator as an appendage from the top portion thereof where the hold actuator can be substantially tab-like and can be split. Moreover, the hold-actuating lever can be coupled to the hold actuator via, for example, a pin. Moreover, a connector member such as a bridging member can connect the suction portion and the receptacle portion.
Abstract: Medicine delivery interface for delivery of therapeutic aerosols or gases, including at least one hollow body having at least one nasal aperture defined therein at least one nasal insert tube associated with each nasal aperture of the hollow body is capable of being inserted into a nostril. The interface also may include at least one exhaust aperture having at least one exhaust valve configured to exhaust exhaled gases and configured to block inflow of air through the exhaust aperture and at least one intake aperture.
Abstract: A PC card and a method of controlling the PC card is provided which can be used to add multiple capabilities to an information processing apparatus in cooperation with a conventional card only by the use of a single card slot. The PC card 1 is provided with a multifunctional adapter unit 2 which controls data exchange between the information processing apparatus 20 and the function of the PC card or data exchange between the information processing apparatus 20 and the function of the PHS card, and a PC card function control unit 3 which controls the function of the PC card. The multifunctional adapter unit 2 of the PC card 1 is provided with a communication control unit 2a, an address control unit 2b, a driving system setting unit 2c, and an interrupt request control unit 2d.
