Abstract: Apparatus, system and method for waiving at least a portion of financial account service fees is provided. The apparatus, system and method include enrolling into a flat-fee subscription service and, resulting therefrom, waiving certain fees associated with select financial accounts linked to that subscription service. Enrollment and management of financial accounts can be performed across a network by a database manager upon a database containing not only financial accounts, but also customer profiles associated with those financial accounts.

Abstract: A simple hardware module for insertion between a source of video signals such as a graphics computer or a VCR, and a video display device such as a TV monitor, for applying a shading effect to two-dimensional graphics for the purpose of simulating a depth of field around the resulting video image.

Abstract: A intubating pharyngeal airway having a side access for passage of a tube on the said airway comprising a flanged stop at the proximal end, a curved airway central tubular member and a distal ball tip adapted to fit into the vallecular. The side opening may be expanded or closed by means of either a hinge on the opposite side wall of the tube or by a cap or insert closure.

Abstract: An adjustable oral airway comprising a superior section and inferior section joined at their inner ends by a hinge member, and slidably secured relative to each other at the mouthpiece end, as by a tongue and groove slidable joint. The superior and inferior sections may be spaced a greater or a lesser distance from each other by means of sliding the upper and lower sections of the mouthpiece to improve ease of insertion and removal and to expand or reduce the pharynx, lifting the epiglottis and improving the breathing ability of an unconscious patient.
