Abstract: The following invention is a device for measuring the force applied by the residual limb of an amputee to the distal region of a socket. The device has an upper surface with a “force sensor measuring region” that maintains a central location on the upper surface of the DFMD. The DFMD is affixed to the inside surface of the distal most area of the socket and maintains a permanent location of the “force sensor measuring region” of the device. Regardless of physical characteristics or changes to the socket, liner, socks, proper or improper placement of the limb into the socket, the consistent location of the “force sensor measuring region” on the DFMD provides congruent force data as it relates to the force applied by the socket to the distal area of the residual limb. The data collected by the DFMD is processed and modified by a software algorithm into meaningful data for the user and/or medical professional.

Abstract: An induction-heating device for heating and or melting a heat affected product zone of shaving or cosmetic products (6A) stored in a product container (6) which consists of a layer of the product immediately below a top product surface and heated by an electrically conductive metallic target member (7) having through-passages overlying the top product surface and energized by an induction coil (3) into which an electromagnetic field is generated by electronic circuitry for a predetermined time period into the product container, thereby permitting the heated and or melted product to flow through the through-passages onto the top surface of the target member to be collected by a user for shaving or cosmetic purposes.

Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing warmed shaving and cosmetic products having an induction heating system mounted within housing for heating only a conductive floating target screen disposed on an upper surface region of a shaving or cosmetic product stored within a product receptacle surrounded by an induction heating coil of the induction heating system thereby heating only the upper surface region of the product.

Abstract: An insert interface adapted to fit within a prosthesis between a convex-shaped distal end of a prosthetic liner and an interior distal end of a prosthetic socket for collecting data measurement of the fit of a residual limb of an amputee within the prosthesis comprising an insert comprising a resilient pad of elastomeric material having an upper surface and a lower surface with a concave shaped upper surface adapted to provide a contiguous surface with an interior surface of a prosthetic socket when inserted therein and provide a cushion for a distal end of a residual limb when worn by an amputee, and a lower surface having a shape complementally configured to a distal interior surface of a prosthetic socket when inserted therein, and at least one force sensor mounted centrally within said pad in proximity to the upper surface of the pad for sensing forces against the pad created by a downward movement of a residual limb of an amputee when wearing the socket and for electronically wirelessly transmitting data
