Abstract: A portable medicine dispensing apparatus and method includes one or more medicine dispensing units that store at least one type of medicine, and include a medicine variable display unit that identifies and labels medicines stored in each medicine dispensing unit, a database that stores data that includes medicine identifiers and a dosage information for consumption of the medicines, a user identification module that processes a user identification information and identifies a user. Each medicine dispensing unit dispenses at least one medicine to be consumed based on an input provided by the user identification information. A single receiving unit that collects one or more medicines that are dispensed by the one or more medicine dispensing units based on the input. One or more uniformly configured tubes operatively connect each of the medicine dispensing units to the single receiving unit.

Abstract: A device accessory system includes a support structure adapted to operatively connect to a user; a holding assembly including a device holder adapted to hold a mobile communication device, wherein the mobile communication device is adapted to capture data; an extendable and collapsible flexible positioning system that is positionable at varying lengths and angles to adjust a distance or angle between the mobile communication device and the user, wherein the flexible positioning system includes a first end coupled to the support structure, and a second end coupled to the holding assembly, wherein the data is captured once the flexible positioning system is positioned at a fixed distance or angle relative to the user, and wherein the data is captured in a hands-free utilization by the user; and a lock assembly operatively connected to the flexible positioning system.

Abstract: Treated sewage is loaded into the tanks of a large ocean-going tanker, transported therein to a deep water site, and then deposited directly onto the seabed at that site through piping deployed from the vessel and extending downwardly therefrom. The piping may be a flexible hose, or a string of steel pipes, or a combination of the two. The piping may be deployed over the side of the vessel, or preferably from a moon pool. The depth of the seabed for deposit might for example be one thousand or fifteen hundred meters, or considerably deeper, e.g., 7000 m; in extremely deep water it may not be necessary for the piping to extend fully to the seabed, although it is recommended that it extend at least below the depth at which the majority of fish are found and below the depth where there are significant thermal changes.
