Abstract: A positioning device which includes a new and unique concave angulated device for at least one of, but not limited to, stretching, supporting, bracing, rehabilitating, positioning, massaging, kneading, scratching, or exercising a body of a user. The device's new concave angulated and more user friendly surface addresses the need for a more anatomically responsive body positioning device for achieving improved results relative to, among other things, the above uses. This device includes multiple embodiments, which also may comprise various possible configurations, that enable the device to also function as a fulcrum or lever and/or be capable of uniquely dispersing a load during the interaction between the user and the device.

Abstract: A telecommunication system includes a digital switch, a local loop coupling the digital switch to a subscriber location, wherein a segment of the local loop includes copper twisted pair and wherein an asymmetrical digital subscriber line is carried by the local loop, the asymmetrical digital subscriber line including a plurality of data packets capable of carrying a plurality of derived digital telephone lines. The telecommunication system further includes a subscriber unit coupled to the asymmetrical digital subscriber line. The subscriber unit monitors the content of at least one of the plurality of data packets, receives an off-hook signal in response to an action of a user, and initiates a first derived digital telephone line of the plurality of derived digital telephone lines in response to the off-hook signal.
