Abstract: A feeding system for medical patients comprises a storage assembly, dispensing assembly, and extension set including, in part, a reservoir, a pump, a feeding tube, a check valve and an adapter. The reservoir is configured to hold at least one feeding of nutritional substance. The dispensing assembly is connected to the storage assembly and pumps the at least one feeding of nutritional substance from the reservoir to the feeding tube connected to an outlet of the pump. The check valve unit is connected to a second end of the feeding tube by means of a check valve connection point and is configured to allow the flow of nutritional substance in only one direction. The at least one feeding of nutritional substance is passed through the adapter unit connected to the check valve unit.

Abstract: The present invention is a vehicle mounted cradle and sound amplifier for a personal communication device, the cradle and amplifier comprising a microphone, amplifier, flat panel speaker, power source, and power saving means. A personal communication device used in conjunction with the cradle and sound amplifier is secured and oriented such that a control interface of the communication device faces towards a vehicle driver's seat. A microphone placed in close proximity to the speaker on a common communication device detects sound emitted from the communication device. A flat panel speaker then amplifies that sound for the user of the communication device to hear. A power saving means is disclosed for regulating power from said power source, the power saving means including an audio-level based lower-power standby mode. The cradle amplifies the communication device while minimizing audio feedback.

Abstract: An alignment device for attachment to the striking face of a golf club head includes a pair of elongate guide rods, a pair of connection plates for attachment between the proximal ends of the guide rods and the striking face of the head, and an adhesive layer for mounting the connection plates to the striking face. Each guide rod includes a magnet and each connection plate is constructed of a magnetically attractive material so that the guide rods can be used during practice and removed during play.

Abstract: A sound generating device for transforming an object into a loudspeaker is includes an exciter module adapted for receiving audio signals from an audio source and a mounting device connected to the exciter module for removably connecting the exciter module to an object such that the object is transformed into a loudspeaker when the exciter module is energized by the audio source.

Abstract: A sound generating device for transforming an object into a loudspeaker is includes an exciter module adapted for receiving audio signals stored on a portable micro-memory card or the like and a mounting device connected to the exciter module for removably connecting the exciter module to an object such that the object is transformed into a loudspeaker when the exciter module is energized by the audio signals.

Abstract: A portable electronic display device has a relative thin profile and includes a frame with upper and lower covers connected to opposite sides of the frame. The upper cover has openings with outwardly extending peripheral flanges for accommodating the thicknesses of an electronic display and a keypad. The lower cover has a depression that defines a cavity into which a battery or other power source is received for operating electronic circuitry associated with the display. The combination of the peripheral flanges and depression give the appearance of a slim, streamlined display device.

Abstract: An electronic unit for storing and displaying information includes a case, a computer having storage capability for electronically storing information and a processor for generating display signals corresponding to the stored information. A display screen is mounted within the case and connected to the processor for receiving the display signals generated by the processor and for displaying the information. At least one depressible key is mounted within the case, and a battery supplies electrical operating power to the computer. In addition, the unit includes a battery-saving feature for shutting off power to the display screen following a preselected period of time between successive depressions of any of the keys, and the case has a front which measures no more than about 3.5 inches by 2.0 inches and has a thickness which is no more than about 0.039 inches.

Abstract: A method for transferring data from a user station to a portable electronic display device includes providing one or more data sets, linking the data sets together in a predetermined sequence for accessing the data sets, and providing each data set with one or more data frames. Each data frame can be linked to another data frame of a single data set for sequentially displaying information such as images and/or text on a display screen of the portable electronic display device.
