Abstract: Embodiments of the invention are directed to nasal stents incorporating a filter and methods of use thereof. In one embodiment, a nasal stent has a stent body having a lumen with the same inner diameter (ID) along the length thereof. In an alternative embodiment, the nasal stent has a stent body having a lumen with a decreasing ID along the length thereof. In any embodiment, the stent is capable of having a compressed configuration and an expanded configuration. The nasal stent may further include a tubular insert housing a retaining mechanism to retain a filter at a proximal end thereof. A support may further fix the filter at a proximal end thereof. When inserted within a nostril of a person, the filter may function to filter particulates from the air when a person breathes in.

Abstract: Registration is required for all vehicles, equipment, appliances, conferences, events, etc. The proposed concept is to provide each unit described as a vehicle, equipment, appliance, vessel, train, lifeguard station etc., that requires registration, with a wireless device that can display pertinent information (technical and operational data) and personal details such as, registration month and year, car vehicle identification number, license plate number, owners name and address etc. This device operates similar to a wireless mobile phone or an onboard vehicle global positioning system (GPS) and can be managed from a central location. Such a system can also be used for multiple other events such as—vehicle or trade shows, outdoor events, conferences, animal tags etc.

Abstract: A mobile wireless multilingual entertainment system that comprises one or more wireless devices, internet/telephone connections, portable computer/monitor/consoles, via a touch tone screen that can be used for multiple applications from airlines to opera theaters. The system also has a payment feature, a security feature, an alarm that prevents removal by the user from the intended location. The system further provides voice activation, video, audio, CD/DVD, ear and speaker phone capability, a Braille feature and operates on AC/DC, solar power.

Abstract: A drug coated nasal stent implant that provides filtration of environmental pollutants and airborne allergens from inhaled air regulating the air before it is ingested into the remainder of the respiratory tract.

Abstract: If a consumer instruction specifies a 64 bit source register comprised of results provided by two 32 bit producer instructions, the number of dependencies that must be tracked per source register can be decreased by transforming one or more of the 32 bit producer instructions so that rather than simply storing its result in a 32 bit destination register, the transformed instruction stores its result into a 64 bit logical register along with another 32 bit value held in another 32 bit register.

Abstract: The present invention provides a cooling apparatus, system, and associated method. The cooling apparatus includes an insulating material, and a heat transfer device at least partially embedded within the structure material. The cooling apparatus also includes a diamond composite sheet positioned adjacent to the structure material, wherein the diamond composite sheet is in thermal communication with the heat transfer device.
