Abstract: A system for dispensing Botox, anti-venom, local chemotherapy, anesthetics, aesthetic fillers, endogen materials, fat for aesthetic surgery, stem cells, and lethal injection compounds though a sterile syringe. They system uses pressure, generated by a pump unit, to apply force on a syringe containing the materials to be delivered into the patient's body. The volume rate and volume per injection are adjustable through user inputs. The injection occurs when the physician activates a momentary switch. The system provides precise control of the injected material thus minimizing the inaccuracies associated with manually injected materials. Additionally, the simplicity of the system eases cleaning and sterilization practices thus minimizing risks of transferring undesirable transmissible agents.

Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing warmed shaving and cosmetic products having an induction heating system mounted within housing for heating only a conductive floating target screen disposed on an upper surface region of a shaving or cosmetic product stored within a product receptacle surrounded by an induction heating coil of the induction heating system thereby heating only the upper surface region of the product.

Abstract: An induction-heating device for heating and or melting a heat affected product zone of shaving or cosmetic products (6A) stored in a product container (6) which consists of a layer of said product immediately below a top product surface and heated by an electrically conductive metallic target member (7) having through-passages overlying said top product surface and energized by an induction coil (3) into which an electromagnetic field is generated by electronic circuitry for a predetermined time period into said product container, thereby permitting said heated and or melted product to flow through said through-passages onto said top surface of said target member to be collected by a user for shaving or cosmetic purposes.

Abstract: A prosthetic liner having a base elastic fabric layer impregnated with cushioning material on an interior surface of the base fabric layer and having one or more additional elastic fabric layers secured to and overlapping the base fabric layer to form pockets for introducing and retaining various types of padding selected by the user.

Abstract: A liner interface and method of making the liner interface comprising attaching non-compressible deformable electrically conductive receptors to an inner surface of a fabric layer, placing the fabric layer into a female part of a molding machine, axially deforming the deformable receptors from their initial thickness with a male part of the molding machine, injecting a molten gel elastomer into the molding machine to completely surround and adhere to the receptors and inner surface of the tubular fabric layer, allowing the molten gel to cure, and removing the male part from the molding machine and allowing the axially deformed receptors to axially expand beyond the inner surface of the cured liner interface.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions for topical application that effectively deliver antioxidants across the epidermis, dermis, or a combination thereof into cells and/or the bloodstream while concurrently maintaining chemical activity of the antioxidants. In certain aspects, these formulations include emulsions and balms each having a lipophilic carrier and a lipophilic antioxidant solubilized by the lipophilic carrier. Also disclosed herein are methods for making these compositions for topical application.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are garments having any combination of low thermal conductivity, high durability and resiliency, and with the optional ability to evenly distribute compressive forces. When compared to currently used compression garments, these compression garments advantageously result in better patient comfort and overall improved healing processes. In certain aspects, the disclosed compression garments include post-surgical treatment masks. For example, the post-surgical treatment mask may include a thermoformable assembly having a thermoformable resin arranged between inner and outer knitted fabric layers, the thermoformable assembly configured to be heated to a glass transition temperature of the thermoformable resin such that the thermoformable assembly can be shaped to conform to contours of a user's face, and a styrene-based polymeric gel layer arranged on the inner knitted fabric layer.

Abstract: A gel liner made by starting initially with a one-piece knitted tubular sock-shaped fabric having a closed distal end section of gel impermeable knitted fabric and an open proximal end section of gel impermeable knitted fabric and being a gel permeable loosely knitted fabric. Molding the liner to have a gel cushion layer on its interior surface with the gel passing through and partially embedding the yarns of the proximal fabric section with the outermost portions of the yarns free of gel to form at least one annular seal whereby the proximal end section forming a seal not inhibited in deformation and/or elongation by the fabric when the liner is worn thereby reducing or eliminating any twisting or discomfort of the liner during ambulation caused by the annular seal.

Abstract: An insert interface adapted to fit within a prosthesis between a convex-shaped distal end of a prosthetic liner and an interior distal end of a prosthetic socket for collecting data measurement of the fit of a residual limb of an amputee within the prosthesis comprising an insert comprising a resilient pad of elastomeric material having an upper surface and a lower surface with a concave shaped upper surface adapted to provide a contiguous surface with an interior surface of a prosthetic socket when inserted therein and provide a cushion for a distal end of a residual limb when worn by an amputee, and a lower surface having a shape complementally configured to a distal interior surface of a prosthetic socket when inserted therein, and at least one force sensor mounted centrally within said pad in proximity to the upper surface of the pad for sensing forces against the pad created by a downward movement of a residual limb of an amputee when wearing the socket and for electronically wirelessly transmitting data

Abstract: A liner interface and method of making comprising non-compressible deformable electrically conductive neural receptors having electrically conductive elements extending therefrom, formed by attaching each receptor and the conductive elements to an inner surface of a fabric layer, placing the fabric layer into a first part of a molding machine having a predetermined shape, moving a second part of the molding machine having a shape complemental to the first predetermined shape toward said fabric layer to either abut or axially deform the deformable receptors and define a space therebetween, injecting a molten gel elastomer into the space to surround and adhere to the receptors, conductive elements and fabric layer, allowing the molten gel to cure to form a gel inner surface, and removing the second part from the molding machine and allowing the receptors to either axially expand beyond or remain even with the inner surface of the cured liner interface.

Abstract: A gel liner made by starting initially with a one-piece knitted tubular sock-shaped fabric having a closed distal end section of gel impermeable knitted fabric, an open proximal end section of gel impermeable knitted fabric and at least one intermediate section being a gel permeable loosely knitted fabric. Molding the liner to have a gel cushion layer on its interior surface with the gel passing through and embedding the at least one intermediate fabric section therein to form at least one annular seal. The intermediate fabric section selected of meltable fibers and knit construction that may or may not be melted by the gel during the molding process whereby the at least one annular seal is not inhibited in compression and/or elongation by the presence or absence of fabric when the liner is worn thereby reducing or eliminating any discomfort of the liner during ambulation caused by the annular seal.

Abstract: Disclosed is a prosthetic elastomeric liner, which can be used without lanyards or straps, in which, upon ambulation, perspiration is voided simultaneously with the reestablishment of a vacuum-aided seal without a vacuum pump. The liner's distal tip comprises a buttress anchored sweat port containing a one way valve continuous with a channel passing through the buttress and liner from its inner surface to its outer surface. The sweat port is connected, optionally integrally, to a prosthetic pin which is inserted into a prosthetic limb.
