Abstract: A circumcision device is provided by the present invention. The device comprises two jaws configured to crush a foreskin between them along a crush region transverse to a foreskin and transverse to a general direction in which a penis being circumcised extends. The jaws are movable between an open inoperative position and a closed operative position in which a clamping and crushing force may be exerted to promote hemostasis within the crush region. The device includes a cutting assembly capable of traversing and severing a crushed foreskin within or adjacent the crush region. The invention extends to a glans penis protector comprising a handle separable from a transverse glans penis engaging cover so that the handle can be separated from the glans penis engaging cover during a circumcision procedure.

Abstract: A circumcision device is provided by the present invention. The device comprises two jaws (1, 2) configured to crush a foreskin (3) between them along a crush region transverse to a foreskin and transverse to a general direction in which a penis being circumcised extends. The jaws are movable between an open inoperative position and a closed operative position in which a clamping and crushing force may be exerted to promote hemostasis within the crush region. The device includes a cutting assembly (7, 8, 9) capable of traversing and severing a crushed foreskin within or adjacent the crush region. The invention to a glans penis protector comprising a handle (41) separable from a transverse glans penis engaging cover (43) so that the handle can be separated from the glans penis engaging cover during a circumcision procedure.

Abstract: A circumcision device is provided by the present invention and includes a body and a glans penis locating and protecting member permanently or releasably associated with the body. The body and glans penis locating member between them support a foreskin crushing assembly that includes a crushing surface that includes an axis extending in the general direction of a penis being circumcised in use, a cooperating crushing member, and a mechanism for operating the foreskin crushing assembly. A cutting assembly is also provided that is rotatable about said axis relative to the crushing surface so as to be capable of severing a foreskin adjacent the foreskin crushing assembly. The cutting assembly includes a cutting blade movable between a withdrawn position and an operative extended condition in which the blade may be rotated about said axis to cooperate with the crushing surface or a foreskin located thereon.

Abstract: Shower pans are provided with a perimeter wall defining a perimeter of the shower pan and a plurality of generally triangular support wall sections. One wall of the support wall sections is opposed to the perimeter wall and defines therebetween a perimeter channel of the shower pan. Other pairs of walls of the support wall sections are opposed to one another and define drain channels which fluid-connect the perimeter channel to the drain port. The other walls of the support wall sections have upper edges which establish an apex of the shower pan near the central drain port and slope downwardly and outwardly from the apex to the perimeter channel. The drain channels are sloped downwardly and inwardly from the perimeter channel to the central drain port.

Abstract: A system for recording an audio description of an item that may be offered for sale over the Internet makes use of an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system. A user wishing to make an audio recording accesses the IVR system via a telephone or a computer, and interacts with the IVR system to record, edit and/or re-record the audio description of the item. The IVR system can then place the recorded audio description in one or more electronic data files on an Internet server. The data files can then be accessed, via the Internet, and played over user computers. The process of recording an audio description may also include a prompt for the user to input a predefined control number. Such a predefined control number could be assigned by an Internet content provider before the audio recording is created. The IVR system could then store the audio recording, on an Internet server, in a data file having a filename that reflects the control number.

Abstract: A gray-water recycling system for reclaiming gray-water for use in toilets and lawn care. The system includes a reservoir adapted to treat gray-water and includes an intake pipe, an outlet pipe and an overflow pipe. An inlet coupled to the intake pipe supplies gray-water to the reservoir. A filter is fluidly coupled to the outlet pipe for filtering gray-water to define processed gray-water. A pump is fluidly coupled to the by a pipe. A first valve (24) controls flow of the processed gray-water from the pump. The first valve is fluidly coupled to the pump, a fresh water inlet and a processed gray-water outlet. The first valve is adapted to open the fresh water if the water pressure from the processed gray-water falls. Also included is a pressure valve (52) adapted to manually adjust the pressure of the processed gray-water outlet and to allow a flow of fresh water in the event the solenoid of the first valve fails to operate.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, system and article of manufacture allows role-playing fantasy game referees to present and manage information related to a role-playing game world. The presentation of role playing game information is accomplished by using at least two collections of data sets. The first collection of data sets define the graphical appearance of objects representing elements of a role playing world. The second collection of data sets define data associated with elements of a role playing world including a level of detail. The method includes the steps of displaying objects associated with a first level of detail, and receiving a user-generated input signal representing a selection of a displayed object. The method also includes the step of identifying the game information data associated with the selected object. Finally the method includes the step of presenting role-playing game information based on the identified game information data.
