Abstract: A coffin arrangement comprises a single or double layered panel material, the exterior having removable participation indicia modules nested inside debossed shapes on each side of the coffin, being the lid, the sides, and the end panels. Indicia Modules may be removed from the coffin before, during or after a funeral service so that family and friends can share their “final words” by placing indicia on the indicia modules. The indicia modules may be placed back to their original position via a numeric control system on the coffin and the indicia modules. The modules may be fastened to the coffin by mechanical and non-mechanical means including friction fit or the likes. Indicia modules may be removed and kept as memorabilia before, during or after the service.

Abstract: Devices and methods for administering a medication in fluid form, the systems and methods including a basal flow path and a bolus flow path in parallel to the basal flow path. The bolus flow path includes a combined piston pump and rotatable valve. The piston pump is configured to prevent partial dosing of a bolus dose.

Abstract: Devices and methods for administering a medication in fluid form, the systems and methods including a basal flow path and a bolus flow path in parallel to the basal flow path. The bolus flow path includes an inlet check valve, a first outlet check valve downstream of the inlet check valve, and a piston pump disposed between the inlet check valve and the first outlet check valve. The piston pump is configured to prevent partial dosing of a bolus dose.

Abstract: An adjustable-position support arm comprising a plurality of tubular elements connected to one another in series of joints; a locking mechanism disposed at each joint so that a first portion of the locking mechanism is secured to a first tubular element of that joint and a second portion of the locking mechanism is secured to the second tubular element of that same joint wherein the locking mechanism is configured in a locked condition to prevent rotation of the first tubular element relative to the second tubular element selectively unlocked condition so that the first tubular element is rotatable relative to the second tubular element; and an actuator for actuating all of the locking mechanisms from their locked condition to their unlocked condition.

Abstract: A sealing device for a body suit and a sealing method utilize a reactive seal that incorporates a swelling polymer activated upon contact with a fluid medium, such as water. The reactive seal can be embodied in a neck seal, wrist seal, or ankle seal of the body suit, where the reactive seal is designed to be loose and comfortable to wear, only exerting sealing pressure when needed. The swelling polymer can be a superabsorbent hydrogel such as a blend of polyacrylate polymer with poly-anionic beads (PAB). In one application, a 50/50 blend of polyacrylate and PAB is used, such that the reactive seal can autonomously tighten within about 10 to 15 seconds. The device and method can be used in various other applications to form a seal for preventing the passage of fluid from one volume to another.
