Abstract: A TENS apparatus includes a portable TENS device having a housing with a lower surface and a pair of integral electrodes that are incorporated into the lower surface of the housing. The portable TENS device includes a pulse driver that is located within the housing and adapted to generate a program of pulse waveforms for TENS therapy without a carrier wave, and a wireless transceiver component that is operatively connected to the pulse driver. The TENS apparatus includes a remote controller that is provided for communicating with the wireless transceiver component of the portable TENS device by means of a wireless communication signal in order to allow for wireless activation and control of the pulse driver of the portable TENS device.

Abstract: A cervical traction device includes a base assembly having a sled frame and a sled assembly that is adapted to move along the sled frame. The cervical traction device includes a left halter support that is attached to the sled assembly and a right halter support that is attached to the sled assembly. A head halter is adapted to be removably attached to the left halter support and the right halter support. The head halter includes a suspension strap for supporting the patient's neck. A linear actuator is attached between the base assembly and the sled assembly and adapted to move the sled assembly along the sled frame.

Abstract: An apparatus 40 for sharpening a router or shaper bit 12 of the type having a flat cutting face 18. The apparatus 40 includes a chuck 64 holding the cutting bit 12. A grinding wheel 108 has a flat grinding face 110 and a grinding wheel shaft 116 on which the grinding wheel 108 rotates. A chuck support supports the chuck 64 and positions it so that the bit cutting face 18 is in a plane parallel to and in front of the flat face 110 of the grinding wheel 108. A side adjustment plate 46 has an index dial by which the side adjustment plate 46 is moved incrementally, in small amounts, to move the cutting face 18 of bit 12 into and against the grinding wheel face 110 during the grinding process. A carriage plate 44 permits moving the bit 12 back and forth in a plane perpendicular to the grinding wheel shaft. A laser 314 directs a beam onto a mirror 318 affixed to the bit cutting face 28.

Abstract: A manually operated hydraulic pump having been modified to break the circumferential bead of a pneumatic tire from a wheel rim, the hydraulic pump including a pump unit and a horizontally disposed cylinder having an internal piston rod, the pump unit being provided with a pivotal actuator wherein pivoting the actuator upwardly and downwardly urges the piston rod outwardly from the cylinder; the cylinder being provided with threads on its end being threadedly received in a barrel, the barrel including a wedge for inserting between the wheel rim and the sidewall of the tire, a locking member for securing the pump onto the wheel rim, the wedge comprising a stationary horseshoe-shaped plate surrounding a ram which is affixed to the end of the piston rod; whereby urging the piston rod outwardly from the cylinder presses the ram into the tire thereby breaking its bead.
