Abstract: In general terms, the invention provides a circuit for de-livering an electromagnetic signal to a human or animal body via contact with the skin of the body. The circuit comprises a plurality of printed layers provided on a base. The plurality of printed layers includes a first printed layer, and a second printed layer having a portion that overlays the first printed layer and a portion that overhangs the first printed layer. Optionally the portion that overhangs the first printed layer contacts the base or another of the printed layers of the plurality of printed layers.

Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments of a laparoscopic access port having a head (portion 450) for use generally externally of a patient and for providing a seal around a laparoscopic tool (not shown)when said tool is inserted into the head via a (bore 408); and a sleeve portion (410) connected to the head and for accommodating the tool, the sleeve (410) extending along an axis and being adapted for inserting generally into the body of a patient in the direction of the axis;said access port being adjustable in overall length X in the direction of the axis, the sleeve portion comprising a shank (411) attached or attachable to the head (450) and a flanged piece (413) moveable relative to the shank by means of a mechanism for causing the overall length X of the port to adjust, the mechanism being operable externally of the patient at or adjacent the head, for example by means of rotation of an element of a lower head part (440), or by sliding motion of the shank (411) and flanged piece (413).

Abstract: The present invention relates to oral compositions, systems and methods of applying oral care compositions to the oral cavity. More specifically, oral compositions having optimized characteristics for application and retention on the oral tissues are provided. Furthermore, systems for applying oral compositions to the oral cavity are provided. A method for treating an oral cavity is further provided that enables chronic application of anti-microbial-containing retentive compositions without generating stain on the oral tissues. Furtherstill, peroxide-stable flavour systems are provided.
