Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a walking therapy station having multiple right linkages and multiple left linkages, where at least one of the right or left linkages is operably coupled to an actuator to transition the station from a standing mode to a walking mode. In an illustrative example, the station may have five right linkages and five left linkages, with a set of knee pads and foot pads. The station may include an actuator operably coupled to transition the station between walking and standing modes, for example. Various embodiments of the station may enable a user who is disabled or paralyzed to transition from sitting position, to a standing position, and then to a walking position, and provide the user with a very accurate gait and walking motion without putting excessive shear and pressure at the contact points between the station and the user.

Abstract: A work stand includes upper and lower surfaces, the upper surface configured to support an object in a balanced manner above the work stand, and the lower surface configured to rest stably upon a work surface. Supports may be integrated into or attachable to the upper surface and may be selected to provide a predetermined support to the object, such support having an element of height and manner of contact with the object. Each support terminates in an apex which may be configured as a rounded, tapered, or flat configuration. The system may be utilized by placement upon a work surface and then placing an object upon an apex or ridge thereof, to support the object above the work surface.

Abstract: A combination cap and work support system includes a lower section configured to connect to a container and an upper section configured to provide a desired support to an object. The upper section includes multiple apices and at least one ridge. The system may be included as part of a kit that includes a container and may include applicators and other accessories. The system may be manufactured with various molding processes, including multi-shot molding and multi-cavity molds. The system may be utilized by placement upon a work surface and then placing an object upon an apex or ridge thereof, to support the object above the work surface.

Abstract: A combination cap and work support system includes a lower section configured to connect to a container and an upper section configured to provide a desired support to an object. The combination cap and work support system may be utilized alone or in multiples to support an object above a work surface during a project. Configurations of the upper section generally include multiple apices separated by areas having a reduced height, and configured to support an object directly on the apices, or between the apices, to provide a desired combination of support and stability. The combination cap and work support system may be included as part of a kit in conjunction with a compatible container, such as a can of sprayable surface coating.

Abstract: A handle accessory for reversibly connecting to a handle of a container without detaching the handle from the container, the accessory having first and second sides connected by a hinge, a passage for the placement and retention of the handle, and an enclosure for the placement of items between the two sides. The handle accessory is configured to permit access to the enclosure without removal from a handle. Also, a method for forming a handle accessory as a single unit, having at least one living hinge, a substantially sealable enclosure, and a retention mechanism for reversibly connecting to a predetermined container handle configuration.

Abstract: One implementation provides a method to provide injection procedure information in an injection system. In this implementation, the method includes displaying a plurality of different injection procedure options in a user interface of said system, wherein said plurality of different injection procedure options including a cardiac procedure option and a non-cardiac procedure option. The method further includes receiving a user selection of an injection procedure from said displayed plurality of different injection procedure options, processing a default set of injection parameters based upon said selected injection procedure, and displaying said default set of injection parameters within the user interface of the system prior to an injection.

Abstract: A device for applying tape from a roll of tape (e.g., masking tape) along a surface to be protected with an edge of the tape extending along a juncture between the surface to be protected and a surface to be treated disposed at about a right angle with respect to the surface to be protected. The device includes a two portion housing around and journaling the tape roll, each portion having a tape contacting part of its inner surface in a first plane, and having in a second plane a guide part of its outer surface adapted to be slid along the surface to be treated. The first and second planes on each of the housing portions can be parallel or at a small angle with respect to each other so that they intersect along an application side of the housing. A pressure application structure is mounted on the housing with an outer edge each end of the pressure application structure at the intersection (if they intersect) of the first and second planes for a different adjacent one of the housing portions.

Abstract: A personal hydration assembly is configured to deliver fluid to a user. The assembly includes a reservoir having a shell defining a volume configured to contain a quantity of fluid. A holder is configured to interconnect the shell and the user. A fluid delivery system is coupled to the shell and is configured to transport fluid from the reservoir to the user. The shell is configured to resist deformation and maintain a first shape when fluid is stored within the shell. The shell is configured to permit deformation into a second shape to reduce the volume when fluid is transported from the shell to the user.

Abstract: A mouthpiece is provided for a personal hydration system having a fluid supply tube. The mouthpiece includes a hollow body having a first opening with a first area at a first end to engage the fluid supply tube in a substantially leak-free manner, and a second opening with a second area larger than the first area at a second end. A removable valve cap is coupled to the body in a substantially leak-free manner and includes a diaphragm adjacent the second opening. A slit through the diaphragm permits passage of fluid when the slit is in a first position and opposes passage of fluid when the slit is in a second position.
