Abstract: A method of using a mobile data processing system for verifying a recipient of a delivered article comprises accessing a data structure of the mobile data processing system for determining if a particular delivery record specifies that a sender of an article has requested receipt of a sentiment of an intended recipient of the article resulting from receipt of the article, displaying a sentiment capture consent message on a visual display of the mobile data processing system after determining that the particular delivery record specifies that the sender of the article has requested receipt of the sentiment, and capturing the sentiment of the intended recipient of the article using a camera of the mobile data processing system in response to a recorded sentiment acceptance response being received at a sentiment capture acceptance user input interface portion of the mobile data processing system.

Abstract: An apparatus for stimulating the anal sphincter is provided in order to maintain the anal sphincter in a substantially continuously contracted condition. The apparatus includes a plug which is inserted in the anus such that a portion of the plug is surrounded by the anal sphincter. Electrodes are mounted on the plug in contact with anal sphincter and a signal generator generates a biphasic output signal having a positive pulse portion, a negative pulse portion and a zero output portion. The output signal is applied to the anal sphincter through the electrodes, thus causing the anal sphincter to contract and remain in a substantially contracted condition. The signal generator comprises a timer circuit which is used to operate a counter and an output driver which is controlled by the counter. The output signal from the output driver is applied to the anal sphincter through the electrodes.
