Abstract: A holder for ammunition and, in particular, to a flexible holder that conforms to curved surfaces especially useful for holding shotgun shells. The holder is a flexible band of separate ammunition shell or cartridge holders which enables the wearer to quickly and easily access the ammunition. The band may be attached to the wearer's arm, belt, or other conveniently accessed location. The band is molded in one piece in a sheet-like configuration and folded to form three-dimensional receptacles and belt loops.

Abstract: An intragastric obesity treatment implant promotes a feeling of satiety in the patient by contacting the insides of the stomach wall, reducing the space in the stomach, or otherwise reducing the amount of food consumed. One intragastric obesity treatment implant two inflatable balloons coupled via a flow restrictor through which fluid may flow in response to peristaltic motions of a patient's stomach. Additionally, one implant comprises a pumping chamber coupled to a reservoir, where the pumping chamber moves stomach fluids into the reservoir in response to peristaltic motions of the patient's stomach.

Abstract: A slim tool set including a card case and a plurality of tools retained therein. The card case may be credit card-sized, and one useful application is for a plurality of lock picking tools. The card case includes a plurality of slots for receiving the tools formed by removing material from the opposite faces of the card case. Each slot is formed by a plurality of recesses formed in the opposite faces that overlap to connect the recesses and form the slot which extends from end to end of the card case. Each of the slots has a thickness dimension slightly smaller than the thickness dimension of the tools such that the tools are retained by friction therein.

Abstract: A system for attaching an access port to bodily tissue includes an access port assembly and including an access port having a generally central axis. The access port assembly further includes an attachment mechanism structured to enable the access port to be attached, for example, to an abdominal muscle of a patient. The system includes a safety cap which lies substantially flush against the anchor base to provide no space for movement of the anchors. The safety cap prevents the anchors from deploying prematurely.

Abstract: The present invention provides a system for attaching a fluid access port to a patient. The system generally comprises an implantable access port and a tool for attaching an access port to a patient. The implantable access port may include a plurality of anchor assemblies composed of two different materials. In addition, a mesh member may be attached to the base of the access port to facilitate implantation of the access port into a patient's body. The tool may have a rotatable actuator head, and may engage the access port in various orientations.
