Abstract: A method includes covering or contacting a portion of a parathyroid of a subject with a shield including extraembryonic tissue and/or a stem cell. The covering or contacting occurs during a neck or reconstructive surgery of the subject.

Abstract: A method includes covering or contacting a portion of a recurrent laryngeal nerve of a subject with a shield including extraembryonic tissue. The covering occurs during a neck or reconstructive surgery of the subject.

Abstract: An inventive gaming machine is disclosed that includes a floating, mid-screen input deck positioned facing an active display region. The gaming machine positions the input deck relative to the active display region such that a part of the active display region extends below the input deck. The gaming machine implements a large active display region within a relatively compact envelope. The gaming machine further provides an ergonomically superior gaming machine configuration that enables a player to view the full extent of the active display region while requiring minimal head and eye movements.

Abstract: In an example implementation, a self-cooling headset includes an ear cup to form an ear enclosure when placed over a user's ear. A first check valve on the ear cup is to open and release a volume of air from the ear enclosure when a positive pressure within the ear enclosure overcomes a cracking pressure of the first check valve. A second check valve on the ear cup is to open and admit a volume of air into the ear enclosure when a partial vacuum within the ear enclosure causes an external pressure to overcome a cracking pressure of the second check valve.

Abstract: An electronic pointing device includes a housing. In addition, the electronic device includes a position transducer coupled to the housing. Further, the electronic pointing device includes a plurality of electrical switches coupled to the housing. Still further, the electronic pointing device includes a cover plate removably coupled to the housing. The cover plate includes a plurality of holes, each hole aligned with one of the plurality of electrical switches. The electronic pointing device also includes a plurality of button members. Each button member is removably disposed in one of the holes of the cover plate and disposed to engage the corresponding, aligned electrical switch to actuate that electrical switch.

Abstract: In an example implementation, a self-cooling headset includes an ear cup to form an ear enclosure when placed over a user's ear, a first valve to open and release air from the ear enclosure, and a second valve to open and admit air into the ear enclosure. The headset also includes a first speaker cone to translate an audio frequency signal into audible sound, and a second speaker cone to translate a subsonic frequency signal into air movement that produces positive and negative air pressures within the ear enclosure to open and close the first and second valves.

Abstract: A method includes covering or contacting a portion of a parathyroid of a subject with a shield including extraembryonic tissue and/or a parathyroid protective injection. The covering occurs during a neck or reconstructive surgery of the subject.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a number of techniques that systematically integrate a person's biochemical, symptomatic, and genetic status to generate recommended hormone therapy treatment prescriptions.
