Abstract: A medical device is provided for substantially sealing a surface of a patient such as a surface defining a patient's air passage. The device includes a pliable body for sealing the surface of the patient and a pressure generation device for inflating and deflating the pliable body from an ambient position. The device further includes a valve configured to permit air to enter the pliable body after the device has been deflated to return the pliable body to the ambient position. After returning to the ambient position, the pressure generation device inflates the pliable body to an expanded position.

Abstract: A book mark is provided for marking a selected line, column, and page of a book. The book mark includes a flat elongated member, first and second page indicators, a line marker, and a column indicator. The flat elongated member has a first end, a second end spaced apart from the first end, and a middle region situated between the first and second ends. Each of the first and second page indicators includes an indicia positioned on the flat elongated member. The line marker marks the selected line, is fixed relative to and spaced apart from the first and second page indicators, and is situated in the middle region of the flat elongated member. The column indicator indicates a specific column in a book having dual column pages.

Abstract: An artificial airway is provided for permitting medical personnel access to a patient's airway. The artificial airway includes a foam cuff laryngeal mask having an air tube, a pilot tube, and a laryngeal mask. The air tube and the laryngeal mask cooperate to form a gas passage that permits gases to flow through the foam cuff laryngeal mask. The laryngeal mask includes a foam cuff having a pliable sheath filled with a resilient material. Air is drawn out of the resilient material through the pilot tube which causes the foam cuff to deflate. The foam cuff laryngeal mask is then inserted into the patient's airway and positioned over the larynx. Air is allowed to enter the pilot tube and the resilient material expands so that the foam cuff forms a substantial seal with the larynx.

Abstract: A book mark is provided for marking a selected line and page of a book where a reader should resume reading. The book mark includes a flat elongated member, first and second page indicators, and a marker. The flat elongated member has a first end, a second end spaced apart from the first end, a middle region situated between the first and second ends, a first side, and a second side facing away from the first side. Each of the first and second page indicators includes an indicia positioned on the flat elongated member. The marker marks the selected line, is fixed relative to and spaced apart from the first and second page indicators, and is situated in the middle region of the flat elongated member.
