Abstract: The present invention 10 discloses a horseshoe-shaped table 12 having a computer 14 and a dual-purpose chair 16 associated therewith. The chair 16 adjusts to variously sized users 11 by using a piston 78 and piston support mechanism disposed internally of the chair. The chair also serves as a weight scale or sensor 18 which is disposed in the seat thereof and has data input means, including a headset 27 with microphone 28 and chewing sensor 24 disposed thereon. The arm 36 of the chair has a blood pressure sensor 26 disposed thereon. Data gathered from the sensor input devices is transmitted to a computer 14 disposed internally of the table 12 having a monitor 40 and keypad 42 disposed on the tabletop. Also shown are a pair of scales 20, 22 which measure both the individual meal food and the daily food allowance which data is also input into the computer 14. The scales are equipped with segmented platters 90 and non-segmented platters 104, having various food compartments for receiving different types of food.

Also attached thereto is a mounting collar 28 with threaded screws 30 for receiving and holding a tree trunk along having an electrical outlet 34 disposed thereon. The main housing 20 also contains a CD player 24 along with a water reservoir 62 for watering the tree. Also contained on the main housing 20 is an extinguisher system having flame sensors 76 attached thereto in the form of decorative ornamental bulbs 12 placed throughout the tree. Vent holes 70 are provided in the bulbs 12 through which air can pass in the form of smoke so as to activate the sensors 76 and thereby having a bulb transmitter 78 send a signal to a means for an alarm 46 disposed in the main housing body.

Abstract: An absorbent pad for absorbing bodily fluid secreted from a user. The absorbent pad includes a base pad having first and second length sides and first and second wings. The first and second wings each extending along a respective one of the first and second length sides. The absorbent pad also includes a tampon extending substantially perpendicular to the base pad at a central portion thereof, wherein, in use, the tampon is positioned within a body opening of the user and the base pad is positioned outside the body opening and between legs of the user to absorb body fluids secreted from the body opening. The tampon may be removably connected to the base pad and a gluteal pad may be connected to extend from an end side of the base pad. The gluteal pad includes a fold positioned within the user's buttocks during use. Lateral borders may be positioned between the sides of the base pad and the wings extending therefrom for providing added absorption of secreted bodily fluids.

Abstract: An avalanche and hypothermia protective system for detecting emergency situations and instances when a user is severely compromised by adverse atmospheric and climactic extremes, e.g. entombment by an avalanche or high altitude mountaineering, and providing relief for the detected emergency situation. The system includes a sensor housing to be worn on the head of the user including sensors for sensing certain conditions and generating a signal indicative of the conditions sensed. A backpack including a microprocessor therein is connected to the sensors for analyzing the generated signal to determine if an emergency situation exists. A device for relieving the emergency condition is connected to the microprocessor for providing relief to the user upon detection of an emergency condition and to provide support for preexisting conditions such as cold induced asthma.

Abstract: A beverage container cover for preventing the introduction of any contaminants into a beverage container. The beverage container cover includes a sealing layer including a top side and a bottom side, a straw extending on either side of the sealing layer and able to prevent a contaminant from passing therethrough and an adhesive substance extending about a periphery of the bottom side of the sealing layer for forming a seal with a rim of the container. A lip extends about a periphery of the top side for engaging the rim of the container and strengthening the seal therebetween. The cover further includes a first protective layer removably connected to the top side and covering a top portion of the straw and a second protective layer removably connected to the bottom side and covering the bottom side, a bottom portion of the straw and the adhesive substance. The straw may be extended whereby it extends to a base of the container.

Abstract: A bra barrier device (16) comprising a flexible, substantially flat absorptive protective band (18) worn on an abdomen (20) of a woman's body (22). A top edge (24) of the band (18) extends under the breasts (26) and a lower border (28) at the cups (30) of a bra (32), so as to prevent dermal irritation and lesions caused by heat, moisture and chaffing associated with use of the bra (32).

Abstract: A ladder including storage areas for allowing access to an area out of reach of a user. A tool box is removably connected at a top end of the ladder so as to be easily accesible to a user of the ladder. The ladder includes a first pair of legs and a second pair of legs extending at an adjustable angle to the first pair of legs. A plurality of steps extend between the legs of the first pair of legs and a storage compartments is positioned below each of the plurality of steps. The storage compartments are each movable between a first position completely contained beneath its respective step and a second position extending out from its respective step providing access to a storage area. Adjustable feet positioned on a base side of each leg of the ladder. The adjustable feet are both angularly adjustable and height adjustable to adapt the ladder to the terrain on which it is to sit. A pressure sensitive alarm is positioned to generate an audible alarm when a user applies pressure to the bottom step.

Abstract: A sensor shoe attached to a power source for sensing conditions of a foot positioned within the sensor shoe. The sensor shoe includes a base, a foot receiving portion extending from the base and an inner sole positioned within the foot receiving portion and atop the base. The inner sole includes a plurality of sensors positioned about an area of the inner sole for sensing conditions within the foot receiving portion and generating signals representative of the sensed conditions. A microcomputer is connected to receive the generated signals from the plurality of sensors and analyzes the signals to determine if a critical situation exists. A medication reservoir containing medication therein is connected to the microcomputer for releasing the medication upon a determination by the microcomputer that a critical situation exists.

Abstract: A safety walker (10) for a baby (12) comprising a framework (14) which surrounds an area to be occupied by the baby (12). A structure (16) is for holding the baby (12) in a secure manner within the framework (14). Components (18) are on a bottom end of the framework (14) for engaging a horizontal support surface (20) in a moveable manner, so that the framework (14) can be propelled by the baby (12) therein. An assembly (22) on the framework (14) is for protecting the baby (12), so that in a first instance if the framework (14) tips over and in a second instance if the framework (14) falls down from a height, such as a flight of stairs (24), a landing and a porch (26), the protecting assembly (22) will prevent traumatic injury to the baby (12).

Abstract: A female security device placed within a vaginal cavity to protect and minimize physical damage caused by physical sexual intercourse. The female security device includes a cylindrical housing including a first open end and a second closed end. The second closed end is inserted deeper within the vaginal cavity than the first open end and an inner surface of the cylindrical housing is able to absorb any fluid dispensed therein. Pressure sensors are positioned therearound for sensing contractions in walls of the vaginal cavity and a pressure sensor is positioned therein for sensing pressure caused by insertion of an object into the cylindrical cavity. A needle is positioned to extend into the cylindrical cavity for contacting the object inserted therein and retaining a tissue sample of the object.
