Abstract: Means of easy manufacture and deployment of condoms are provided. A practical and inexpensive adhesive condom is achieved to augment user satisfaction, provide increased barrier protection and contraceptive efficacy. Compression to the penis is reduced, thereby facilitating the ease of attaining and maintaining erection, improving barrier protection and preventing the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, as well as increasing utilization rates by enhancing sensation.

Abstract: Layers of materials are laminated together preserving potential spaces that can transmit pressure generated by the use of gases or fluids. Alternatively, pre-manufactured pressure conduits of suitable dimensions and geometries are integrated between the layers. Transmission of pressure to such conduits results in expansion of a compacted device to a predetermined shape. Maintenance and/or variation of said pressure results in preservation of said shape, fine static control of surface geometries and even remote control of precise movements. Osmotic Pressure is not required to achieve Turgor type control.

Abstract: A three dimensional matrix of air, other gas, or hydraulic fluid cells is proposed for the purpose of providing an ideal surface for load distribution. These cells will be arranged into layers stacked onto each other, with successive layers inflated to decreasing pressures. Neighboring cells can either communicate with each other freely, emulating an open cell construction, or be locked, emulating a closed cell construction, thus providing dynamic, as well as passive, control.

Abstract: A valve geometry applicable to the end of condoms to permit re-use with the same partner, or to enable condoms to permit the transmission of semen and thus permit conception as a result of intercourse while retaining the epidemiologically protective effect of barrier type infection control.

Abstract: The separation of platelets from whole blood or any of its components Through electricity-based and/or mixed-phase effects.

Abstract: A valve geometry applicable to the end of condoms to permit re-use with the same partner, or to permit the transmission of semen and thus permit conception as a result of intercourse while retaining the protective effect of barrier type infection control.

Abstract: The utilization of electrical potential and currents, as well as magnetic fields and mixed-phase reactions to effect efficient separation of platelets from blood without initiating platelet activation.

Abstract: Modular electronic and/or combined electronic/mechanical apparatus for the detection, analysis, transmittal and delivery of tactile stimuli (touch). Sexual application is suggested.

Abstract: Reduction of platelet counts to below 150 thousand per cubic millimeter by pharmacologic, mechanical, combined mechanical and pharmacological, or other means for the purpose of reducing the incidence and severity of vascular disease in at risk populations, for the stabilization and reversal of said disease in patients already known to suffer from such disease, as well as for the purpose of preventing and/or reducing the incidence and severity of sequelae related to such disease, whether preclinical, subclinical or overtly manifested, or whether it is presently understood to be related to said vascular disease or not.

Abstract: An adhesive condom applicable to the male sexual organ to reduce compression and thereby reduce the difficulty of attaining and maintaining erection, improve barrier protection and prevent additional sexually transmitted diseases, to improve the efficacy of contraception (if contraception is desired) and to enhance utilization rates by enhancing sensation. Optimal production geometry and practical modes of application are also described.

Abstract: Onions (Allium Cepa and its close relatives, as opposed to Allium Sativum) contain potent coagulation modulators, as well as platelet inhibitors. Clinical, in vivo and in vitro testing confirms that the efficacy of commonly consumed quantities of onions in terms of the efficacy of its impact on coagulation and platelet function rivals and in many respects exceeds the potency of any other modalities available today. Additionally, onion compounds have unique effects as described later in this application.

Abstract: The application of vacuum suction to a standard diaper in order to evacuate sufficient urine and provide sufficient air movement to dry excrement sufficiently to prevent skin breakdown and permit extension of the diaper's service cycle.

Abstract: An inflatable mask to distribute pressure evenly and seamlessly across the face for the purpose of reducing edema, wrinkling and aging.
