Abstract: An intubation assembly and shield configured to at least partially reduce the risk of contagion of airborne illnesses. The intubation assembly comprises an intubation apparatus assembly, which may comprise an intubation apparatus such as a laryngoscope, endoscope, bronchoscope, or other fiberoptic device. The intubation apparatus assembly may be operatively disposed on the shield assembly. The intubation apparatus may be placed on a correspondingly dimensioned sleeve. The shield assembly comprises a body with a plurality of side segments and a first transparent component with a shield opening disposed thereon. The shield opening may be used for insertion of the intubation apparatus assembly. The shield assembly may also comprise a second transparent component with at least one longitudinally disposed slot for insertion of an endotracheal tube or other intubation apparatus(es). The shield assembly may be provided with ports to attach a vacuum device to provide negative pressure.

Abstract: An electric toothbrush is disclosed, having a handle including a drive motor and a head portion removably coupled to the handle. The head portion includes a brush, an exit port fed by an internal irrigation lumen, and a drive shaft operatively connecting the drive motor to the brush. A disposable irrigant reservoir is removably coupled directly to the head portion. The irrigant reservoir is in fluid communication with the internal irrigation lumen of the head portion. The head portion is configured to be replaceable with respect to the handle, and the irrigant reservoir is configured to be replaceable independent of the head portion. In some examples, the irrigant reservoir is a disposable bulb (e.g., a capsule), and is positioned such that the user can hold the handle while also squeezing the reservoir with the same hand. In some examples, the toothbrush head includes a suction mechanism.

Abstract: An intubation assembly, shield assembly and related systems configured to at least partially reduce the risk of contagion from airborne illnesses. The shield assembly may be operatively connected to a vacuum system to exert a negative pressure and/or may be used as a standalone component as a barrier to reduce contamination of the local environment between therapies, treatments and/or procedures. The shield assembly may comprise ports to attach a vacuum device to provide negative pressure. An intubation apparatus assembly may be disposed on the shield assembly. The shield assembly comprises a body with a plurality of side segments and/or a transparent component(s) with a shield opening disposed thereon. The shield opening may be used for insertion of the intubation apparatus. The shield assembly may also comprise another transparent component with a longitudinally disposed slot(s) for insertion of an endotracheal tube or other intubation apparatus(es).

Abstract: A vacuum shield assembly and related vacuum system intended for attachment to an existing medical mask for oxygen delivery, air suction, nebulization, BIPAP, and/or CPAP. The vacuum shield assembly generally comprises a shield body and a retaining assembly. The retaining assembly may attach the vacuum shield assembly to a vacuum tube of the existing mask, which may be connected to a negative pressure vacuum system. The retaining assembly may also be attached to a nebulizer unit or component thereof, or to an oxygen supply tube of a BIPAP or CPAP mask, or a mask configured for oxygen delivery. The shield body may comprise a lower segment, which may comprise a connecting component configured and dimensioned for attachment to, and for a fluid communication, with the retaining assembly. The shield body may be configured and dimensioned to correspond to the geometry of the existing mask.

Abstract: A tooth cleaning system includes a handheld toothbrush portion coupled by tubes to an arm-mounted module. Collectively, the handheld toothbrush portion and the arm-mounted module include an oscillating toothbrush head; an irrigation system having a pump, reservoir, and tubing; and a scavenge system having a pump, reservoir, and tubing. In some examples, portions of the irrigation system are disposed in the handheld toothbrush and portions of the irrigation system are disposed in the arm-mounted module.

As an example, the shield body may comprise a substantially concave configuration with a substantially semi-ovoidal edge.

Abstract: A modular convenience store. The store has a floor and a plurality of walls extending substantially vertically from the floor, which define a perimeter of the store, which has an interior and exterior. This plurality of walls includes a front wall, a rear wall, a left wall, and a right wall. The front wall is less than or equal to sixty feet long. The rear wall is less than or equal to sixty feet long and substantially opposing the front wall. The left wall is less than or equal to fourteen feet long, and the right wall is less than or equal to fourteen feet long and substantially opposing the left wall. A roof covers the interior of the store. A front door is substantially intermediate the front wall, and a rear door is substantially intermediate the rear wall. A walk-in cooler, with an interior, is located within the interior of the store, adjacent the left and rear walls, left of the rear door, and spaced from the front wall.
