Abstract: The cheek pouch anchor, formed of a resilient filament, fits within a user's cheek pouch. The anchor dynamically spans a user's inter-occlusal space and lip opening as a user's jaws open and close. The anchor can be formed of inter-connected, conversely-adjustable loops to enable user adjustment of its span. It can stabilize a work piece, such as an airway, in a user's mouth. The cheek path airway fits a path between a user's lips and through the user's cheek pouch and rear-jaw gap, avoiding the user's bite. It provides supplemental air to a user's rear-mouth cavity independently of a user's nasal airways while a user's lips remain closed. It can be used in combination with mandibular jaw-control and tongue-control devices whereby the combination mitigates breathing restrictions in a user's nasal and throat airways. It can be manufactured in-line and folded by a user to fit the user's cheek pathway.

The anchor dynamically spans a user's inter-occlusal space and lip opening as a user's jaws open and close. The anchor can be formed of inter-connected, adjustable loops to enable user adjustment of its whole span. It can stabilize a work piece, such as an airway, in a user's mouth.

Abstract: The invention is a device for adapting a computer to enable identification of those subsets of a stream of signal values which form patterns when contraction mapped to an approximation of the attractor of a fractal. The machine currently employs an approximation of the attractor of an affine Sierpinski gasket. In principle, the fractal could be a Sierpinski carpet, Menger sponge, the Mandelbrot Set, or fractals constructed in polar or spherical coordinates. The stream of signal values and subsets of the stream can be displayed, segregated, or otherwise processed automatically by computer by reference to the mapped locations of the signal values. Selection sets can be employed manually to confine a visualized pattern as displayed on the map. Signal values which contribute to the confined pattern then are automatically identified. Some selection sets can be pre-set to automatically confine mapped signal values which fall within certain pre-determined patterns without visual inspection and manual confinement.

Abstract: The invention is a method to aid analysis of signals, such as electroencephalograms, pursuant to modern mathematical theories of nonlinear dynamical processes, sometimes referred to as chaotic dynamics or chaos theory. It employs graphic display and visual inspection of relatively less filtered, non-averaged raw test data, including raw data heretofore considered random or asynchronous `noise`. The invention enables reversible decomposition of selected elements of graphic portraits of raw signal data to identify subsets of the depicted raw data which correspond to visually-identified, manually-selected patterns from within the graphic portrait. The identified subsets of raw data can be segregated even though a precise mathematical description of the visually identified pattern is unknown.

Abstract: The ONE-WAY SNAIL GATE invention permits a snail or slug to cross in one direction but not the reverse. Thin wires suspend the ONE-WAY GATE in functional position without providing an escape surface to the snails. The SNAIL PEN is a trap formed of at least one ONE-WAY GATE and one or more isolation or barrier devices. The SNAIL PUB is a complete system for collecting live snails formed of the SNAIL PEN trap and the SNAIL COCKTAIL attractant, an actively growing yeast cultured in an aqueous sugar solution. The SNAIL SPIKE MATRIX barrier is a suspended, downward-facing matrix of points with gaps between the points that deprives a snail's foot of gripping surface from which to suspend the snail's weight if it attempts to traverse the underside of the matrix. The SNAIL WHEEL is a barrier formed of one or more disks rotatably mounted on an axle which will rotate downward bearing the snail to the lowest point on the disk, and thereafter rotate counter to the snail's effort to climb back.
