Abstract: An automated therapeutic device and methods thereof for heating and extending a patients curled fingers is provided. The device includes a rigid base extending from a patients hand to elbow, a plurality of fingerlets, each operable to attach to a finger of the patient, a plurality of extending elements, each extending element operable to reversibly attach to the rigid base and reversibly attach to one of the plurality of fingerlets, and a heating element operable to reversibly attach to the rigid base and distribute heat along the patient's anterior forearm.

Abstract: A coupling adapter for locking engagement of a hose adapter to a tank adapter includes a locking slide for engaging the hose adapter and a coupling sleeve for attaching the locking slide to the tank adapter while allowing axially shifting movement of the locking slide along a central longitudinal axis of the coupling adapter between a retracted release position allowing release of the hose adapter from the locking slide and an extended locking position preventing release of the hose adapter from the locking slide, and a resilient member for resiliently biasing the locking slide towards its extended locking position. The locking slide and the coupling sleeve have cooperating elements that rotationally interfere with one another when the locking slide is in the extended locking position to restrict rotation of the locking slide relative to the coupling sleeve in at least one direction.

Abstract: A web browser has a user interface that includes a content rendering area within the web browser user interface and a control layout area adjacent the content rendering area. The control layout area includes a user-selectable icon that is always available to the user in the control layout area and which is user-configurable. For example, the user-configurable icon may be configured with one of two pre-defined functions. In one illustrative implementation the two pre-defined functions may be a tabs function and a favorites function.
