  • Patent number: 11370504
    Abstract: A mobility scooter includes a first member having a first end, and a second end opposite the first end, and a rear wheel assembly coupled to the second end of the first member. The mobility scooter includes a seat assembly coupled to the first member, and a second member being transverse to the first member and having a first end coupled to the first end of the first member, and a second end opposite the first end of the second member. The mobility scooter further includes a steering column having a first end, and a second end opposite the first end of the steering column. The steering column is coupled to the second end of the second member. The mobility scooter includes a front wheel coupled to the second end of the steering column, and a handlebar coupled to the first end of the steering column.

  • Publication number: 20070043329
    Abstract: Incontinence briefs having a resealable, substantially leak-proof and resealable flap in a front section thereof. The resealable flap opens from the bottom upwardly to provide access to a wearer's penis. The construction permits the wearer to comfortably urinate into a portable urinal without the necessity of removing the garment. The garment is particularly adapted for males. The construction of the resealable flap enables a wearer to urinate without bending the penis thereby enabling more complete emptying of the bladder. In addition, an expandable fluid-impermeable membrane on the lateral edges of the flap reduces leakage from the garment when the flap is closed. The briefs are suitable for males of all ages.

  • Publication number: 20060286434
    Abstract: An electrically conductive cellulose composite includes a cellulose matrix and an electrically conductive carbonaceous material incorporated into the cellulose matrix. The electrical conductivity of the cellulose composite is at least 10 ?S/cm at 25° C. The composite can be made by incorporating the electrically conductive carbonaceous material into a culture medium with a cellulose-producing organism, such as Gluconoacetobacter hansenii. The composites can be used to form electrodes, such as for use in membrane electrode assemblies for fuel cells.

  • Publication number: 20050287420
    Abstract: A method for the deposition of metals in bacterial cellulose and for the employment of the metallized bacterial cellulose in the construction of fuel cells and other electronic devices is disclosed. The method for impregnating bacterial cellulose with a metal comprises placing a bacterial cellulose matrix in a solution of a metal salt such that the metal salt is reduced to metallic form and the metal precipitates in or on the matrix. The method for the construction of a fuel cell comprises placing a hydrated bacterial cellulose support structure in a solution of a metal salt such that the metal precipitates in or on the support structure, inserting contact wires into two pieces of the metal impregnated support structure, placing the two pieces of metal impregnated support structure on opposite sides of a layer of hydrated bacterial cellulose, and dehydrating the three layer structure to create a fuel cell.

  • Publication number: 20050074736
    Abstract: The multicultural educational kit includes a series of components relating to one or more specific cultural, ethnic, racial, national, or other population groups, for teaching young children about such different groups throughout the world and eliminating the development of early prejudices toward peoples different from one's own. The present kit preferably contains a costumed doll representing a child native to the group being studied, a video presentation describing a typical day in the life of a child of the culture, a series of finger puppets representing a family of the group being studied, a series of small picture books and corresponding audio presentations discussing various subject areas of the culture or group being studied, an activity book relating to the culture or group being studied, a regional map, and a series of flash cards having various terms or words for colors, numbers, family members, geographical features, etc.

  • Patent number: 5265010
    Abstract: This invention provides a hospital patient documentation method and apparatus which is used to generate an initial patient health plan which identifies the patient's health problems, the causes of the problems, expected outcomes, and interventions to achieve such outcomes. The system also provides for the periodic entry of progress notes on the patient, with the system automatically updating the care plan for the patient in response to the progress notes. The initial care plan and all updates are stored so that a audit trail is maintained and the user may obtain either a current patient health plan or a historical patient health plan on demand. The system is menu driven to facilitate uniformity and menu items are coded to facilitate subsequent retrieval and processing. Outcomes are displayed with outcome due dates and progress note generation may be inhibited if, on an outcome due date, the outcome has not been achieved or the due date updated.
