Abstract: Any container, but especially a nursing bottle formed of a container, incorporating a unique nipple, where the flow can be infinitely adjusted by turning the bottle on it's longitudinal axis, and which flows freely, without any negative pressure within the container, at all times, simulating normal physiological feeding pressures, without leaking. The nursing bottle may have a cylindrical shape or other configuration. The nipple uniquely utilizes a venting mechanism that provides a pathway for air entrained from the threads of the bottle to proceed to the interior of the container without liquid leaking from the bottle. No additional parts are needed, and any existing traditional container may be utilized, which reduces cost, cleaning steps, and the time needed to feed and clean up.

Abstract: The combination of a breast pump shield, with its ring, applied to the flange lower end of the shield, and the ring being C shaped in cross-section, having an upper flange, a lower flange, both integrally structured with a base wall. The physiological stimulator integrally formed with the lower flange of the sealing ring extends inwardly and upwardly within the shield, and therein functions as a means to place pressure upon the breast of the mother to help induce and stimulate the flow of breast milk during usage of the associated breast pump.

Abstract: An infrared scene generator can generate a second infrared scene representative of a first infrared scene by emitting a beam of electromagnetic radiation onto a plurality of prism-coupled electrically conductive elements that modulate a portion of the beam incident thereon with surface plasmon polaritons based on parameters of the first infrared scene to yield a modulated beam that produces the second infrared scene.
