Abstract: The invention is embodied in an apparatus for extending the human back. The preferred apparatus has a frame of transverse and longitudinal members, and a roller 20 rigidly supported from below by a transverse member. The space above the roller and frame is open so that a user can lie face up on the roller and grab the longitudinal members with each hand to extend the back over the top of the roller. The user then lowers his hips to extend the spine as much as desired. The user can roll the spine, vertebrae by vertebrae, from the base of the occipital to the sacrum.

Abstract: The present invention provides a water-soluble package comprising a water-soluble substrate and a powder coating on an exterior surface of the water-soluble substrate, wherein the water-soluble substrate encloses a composition and the powder coating includes a powdered bittering agent, a method of making such water-soluble packages and their use, in particular for washing dishes or laundering textiles.

Abstract: The current disclosure is directed to a container with a dispensing schedule and, in various described implementations, to a container and a complementary cap that includes a dispensing schedule. During each dispensing cycle, which includes removing the cap from the container to allow access to the contents of the container and re-securing the cap to the container, the display schedule is automatically advanced to a next indication. In one implementation, the container is a bottle with a threaded neck and the cap is complementarily threaded and has a cylindrical rim and a schedule display. An indication on or within the schedule display is displayed through an aperture in the cap rim. Features included in the cap and the schedule display interoperate to ensure that the displayed indication is advanced to a next indication when the cap is unscrewed from, and subsequently threaded onto, the bottle.

Abstract: Non-limiting examples of the present disclosure describe electronic document generation, where an electronic document of an application/service may be dynamically generated in a manner that is tailored specifically for a user. A query may be received that comprises a topic for generation of a slide-based visual presentation. The query is processed. In some examples, slide content suggestions may be generated and presented to a user based on the query processing. Content for a processed query may be retrieved by a plurality of data service providers that are connected with the visual presentation service via a distributed network. An electronic document may be generated for the slide-based visual presentation. The electronic document is specifically tailored for a user and dynamically generated based on one or more of: the processing of the query, the retrieved content, a selection of one or more slide content suggestions and an evaluation of signal data associated with the user.
