Abstract: A device for treating a user includes a housing having apertures. The housing has application areas including a convex top surface, a concave bottom surface, a convex rear surface, convex side surfaces and rounded protrusions extending away from the housing. A vibrational source is located in the housing to produce vibration at the application areas. A switch is in operative communication with the vibrational source to control operation of the vibrational source.

Abstract: Seat assemblies are provided. In some embodiments, a seat assembly includes a seat member having a first seat surface, a second seat surface, and a third seat surface opposite the second seat surface. The third seat surface is substantially parallel to the second seat surface and the first seat surface is substantially perpendicular to both the second seat surface and the third seat surface. The seat assembly also includes a first side panel affixed to the second seat surface and a second side panel affixed to the third seat surface. Each one of those panels is substantially perpendicular to the first seat surface. The seat assembly further includes a bin movably affixed to the first side panel and the second side panel. The bin includes an open compartment and can be moved between a closed position that obstructs the compartment and an open position that permits access to the compartment.

Abstract: A razor comb hair tool and a kit containing the same are disclosed. Embodiments include an elongated guard member having an exterior with first and second opposing edges and a hollowed interior defining a cavity, wherein the first edge includes a plurality of spaced apart comb teeth and the second edge includes an opening allowing access to the cavity. A razor blade may optionally be positioned within the cavity. Embodiments also include a handle member adapted along a first edge to make a slidable connection with the second edge of the guard member. When the slidable connection is made, access to the opening and/or razor blade is obstructed.

Abstract: An apparatus for dissolving a fragrance carrier such as a shower tablet, including a fragrance carrier holder and a mount bracket supporting a water-holding reservoir and configured so that water in the reservoir or from the reservoir can contact and dissolve the fragrance carrier on the holder. The apparatus is attachable to a vertical wall for a shower stall. The reservoir can be provided with a valve to at least partially control flow of water from the reservoir. The valve is preferably a flapper valve, a rotatable flow regulator valve, a poppet valve or a duckbill valve. A method of dissolving the fragrance carrier is also provided.

Abstract: An accessory for a game controller, the accessory having a substantial weight and attachment features for securing the game controller thereto, to provide for resistance training and exercise while using the game controller.

Abstract: A system of intelligent appliances coupled by common household power lines or wireless links. One or more of the appliances serves as a system controller and may include a further communications interface for coupling to an external communications network, such as the telephone network. The system can thus be accessed and controlled remotely. The system can also communicate with and obtain information from remote sources such as Internet-based facilities.

Abstract: A device for retracting edges of an incision in a surface to form an opening including: a flexible, tubular skirt having an upper end, a lower end, and a channel therebetween; a ring connected to the lower end of the skirt for maintaining the lower end in an open configuration and defining an exit opening to the channel; and an inflatable collar connected to the skirt and surrounding the upper end. The ring is designed to fit through the incision and remain under the surface when it is oriented parallel to surface. The collar, when inflated, maintains the upper end in an open configuration and defines an entry opening to the channel. During use, the ring is inserted through the incision and the collar is inflated while remaining outside of the incision, thereby drawing the skirt against the edges of the incision and retracting the edges of the incision to form the opening.
