Abstract: A protective device for insertion into the crevice adjacent to the anus, and cover adjacent portions of the derriere. The protective device cover includes a solid sheet of material with an adhesive on one side which can be used to apply the cover directly onto the portion directly around and adjacent to the anus after it has been inserted into the crevice. The cover also includes slits or holes through which evacuated material may pass through. The cover may also be made from a “plastic wrap” type material that adheres to human skin when pressure is applied. In an alternate embodiment, a wiping pad is provided between two layers of the cover, which traverses the hole opening when a string is pulled to effect at least partial cleaning in the anus area. This almost eliminates the need for toilet paper, keeps the body clean, and avoids excessive contamination.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a sustainable building system (SBS) that is affordable, capable of being replicated at a small and large scale, significantly reduces both the heating and cooling loads of the building as well as the total energy that the building consumes. Energy consumption can be reduced sufficiently that the building is capable of net-zero-energy status. That is, a building made using the system, method and components described herein can, with the inclusion of appropriate renewable energy technologies, generate on site all the energy that the building needs. Specific to this SBS is the design of a super-insulated and nearly air-tight building thermal envelop, that is, to the greatest extent possible, thermal-bridge-free and that has incorporated into that envelope high performance windows and doors.

This almost eliminates the need for toilet paper, keeps the body clean, and avoids excessive contamination.

Abstract: A rotatable multi-element beam shaping device according to embodiments of the invention includes a first assembly, rotatable about a central axis through which a beam passes. The first assembly has a first and a second jaw adapted to move across the central axis to shape the beam. A second assembly, positioned below the first assembly, is also rotatable about the central axis, and has a third and a fourth jaw adapted to move across the central axis to further shape the beam. The first and the second assemblies, according to the invention, are separately controllable.

Abstract: A breakaway power supply device operatively connectable to an electronic appliance either directly or indirectly via a controller is provided. The controller is used for sensing and/or controlling the operation of the appliance to which it is operatively connected. The breakaway device also has a power cord with a first connector suitable for releasably connecting with the controller and/or the appliance via a magnetic attraction. The power cord also has a second connector suitable for connecting to a power source. The magnetic attraction is suitable to withstand a predetermined or predefined disconnect force. This predetermined disconnect force may be varied as desired. The breakaway power supply device provides an effective, reliable and safe power connection for heatable electronic appliances that require continuous intimate contact with a separable controller.
