Abstract: The present invention relates to a system and method for utilizing a primary component and an auxiliary component in concert upon locations in close proximity to one another. Examples of benefits from this invention include medical applications such as biopsy procedures. Other benefits include minimization of cancerous cell seeding by using embolic material to block the spread of cancer cells from biopsied locations. Other benefits include detection of tissues, or masses such as cancerous tumors, through the use of a contrast agent. Additional benefits include prevention of bleeding or other migration of biological material from sites that have been medically operated on. Other benefits include blocking direct contact between a biopsy stylet which has taken a biopsy sample, and the walls of a path within the patient through which said biopsy stylet is withdrawn afterwards; this can minimize risks of cancerous debris being spread along said path.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method of purchasing an item and transmitting a message to a recipient of the item is presented. The method entails receiving location data about where the item can be picked up, obtaining a recipient address, receiving personal content for the recipient, and combining the location data with the personal content to create an electronic data package. The personal content may include one or more of an image, a written message, an audio segment, and a video segment. The electronic data package is transmitted to the recipient address. Optionally, the data in the data package (other than the location data) may be customized such that it is disclosed to a recipient at a pre-specified physical location.
