Abstract: According to one embodiment, an apparatus for coupling an oral appliance to a gas delivery device includes a post, a swivel, and first and second opposing clamps. The post includes a base configured to couple to the oral appliance; a first arm extending from the base and defining a channel extending along a portion of the first arm; and a second arm extending from the base, extending substantially parallel to the first arm, the second arm defining a channel extending along a portion of the second arm. The swivel is substantially spherical and is configured to position the gas delivery device. The first clamp is configured to engage and slide along the channel defined by the first arm and the second clamp is configured to engage and slide along the channel defined by the second arm. The first and second opposing clamps are together configured to position and secure the location and orientation of the swivel relative to the post.

Abstract: Solar heating apparatus comprises:(a) a generally horizontally elongated tank to contain liquid, the tank being solar radiation absorbing, and low intensity infra-red emitting,(b) a generally longitudinally horizontally elongated container extending about the tank, the container including glazing having a first section facing the top length of the tank, and a second section facing a front side length of the tank, the glazing sections adapted to pass solar radiation for impingement on the tank,(c) auxiliary panels having extended positions in which they project generally away from the container, and collapsed positions in which the panels substantially cover said first and second sections of the glazing to block heat loss from the tank at night,(d) the panels having reflecting surfaces for reflecting solar radiation toward and through the glazing in said panel extended positions,(e) and means responsive to the intensity of solar radiation to move at least one of the panels between extended and collapsed positi
