Abstract: A mobile docking station that includes: a casing; a plurality of openings in the casing; a cord extending through each opening; a plug at a distal end of each cord; and a power cord extending from the casing, where the power cord supplies power to the cords. Preferably each cord is retractable back into each respective opening. In one particular embodiment, the casing preferably accommodates a tissue box and includes an opening to allow dispensing tissues from the tissue box.

Abstract: Apparatus for teaching a technique known as the "abdominal thrust" or "upward thrust" for dislodging food from the throat of a choking victim. The device comprises a plastic manikin in the shape of a upper torso of a human being having an air bellows secured to the rear portion of the manikin within the hollow portion of the manikin and engaging a soft, flexible solar plexus plate located in a simulated position between where the lower rib would end and the lower portion of the stomach. The air bellows communicates with a tubular passage which is connected to the mouth of the victim. A bolus simulating a food particle is placed in the simulated throat and mouth piece and lodges against a shoulder which simulates the epiglottis in the esophagus. By engaging the solar plexus plate in the proper place and thrusting in the proper direction as taught by the technique, sufficient air is forced through the tubular passage to dislodge the bolus from the mouthpiece.
