Abstract: Usage of a utility in a multi-unit building is apportioned to a single unit by measuring the total usage of the utility using a meter unit to produce a total usage measurement, then positioning at least one sensor unit in a single unit of the multi-unit building and monitoring usage of the utility by the single unit using the at least one sensor unit to produce monitoring data. Then a processor unit receives the total usage measurement and the monitoring data and correlates them to generate correlated data. Finally, the processor unit apportions the total usage measurement to the single unit based on the correlated data.

Abstract: An anal irrigation system includes a tube attachable between an anal probe and a container, and a displaceable pump element. The container includes an exterior wall, an inner wall that defines an inside perimeter of the container, and a bridge piece connected between the exterior wall and the inner wall such that a reservoir space is formed between the exterior wall and the inner wall. The inside perimeter of the container provides a containment space within the container that is sized to contain the tube and the anal probe.

Abstract: A digital camera system has integrated accelerometers for determining static and dynamic accelerations of the digital cameral system. Data relating to static and dynamic accelerations are stored with recorded image data for further processing, such as for correcting image data for roll, pitch and vibrations and for displaying recorded images with a predetermined orientation using information about, e.g., roll. Data may also be used on-the-fly for smear suppression caused by vibrations.
