Abstract: Apparatus for lifting and supporting the lower leg and foot of a seated patient comprising a heel or an ankle support adapted to fit beneath the patient's heel or ankle, lifting means for raising said support, and in which the support is releasable from the lifting means.

Abstract: Laser surgery devices and methods of performing laser surgery using laser surgery devices are described. The laser surgery device may rotate a laser fiber along a longitudinal axis of the laser fiber in a repeating pattern through a user-specified rotational pattern. The laser surgery device may be optionally attached to a surgical device to implement hands-free operation of the laser surgery device.

Abstract: A turning platform having longitudinally extending side portions hinged to a central portion and hydraulic, or pneumatic, expansion means beneath each side portion operated by control means to raise and lower said side portions by rotating them about the hinges in a predetermined sequence.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to labeling, and particularly to retail shelf labels and methods of making the same. A sheet having a retail shelf label according to an embodiment includes a liner, a transparent face layer, and a cover layer having graphics printed thereon. Adhesive couples the face layer atop the liner, and adhesive couples the cover layer atop the face layer. Cut lines in the face and cover layers define a perimeter of the label, and a cut line in the cover layer separates the cover layer into two distinct portions respectively separable from the face layer. At least a portion of the adhesive coupled to the face layer inside the label perimeter releases from the liner to removably couple the label to a shelf edge.

Abstract: Supplemental labels and methods of manufacturing supplemental labels are disclosed herein. A supplemental label according to an embodiment includes a presentation portion having a front face and a coupling portion coupled to the presentation portion. The front face has a printable area and includes a print-receiving medium. The coupling portion is transparent and has opposed front and rear faces. The rear face has an adhesive, and at least a portion of the adhesive is exposed to removably couple the coupling portion to the object. A supplemental label according to an embodiment includes a presentation portion having a front face and a coupling portion coupled to the presentation portion. The front face has a printable area and includes a print-receiving medium. The coupling portion is transparent, has opposed front and rear faces, and extends beyond the presentation portion. The rear face of the coupling portion has a transparent adhesive.
