Abstract: A shoe cleaning device includes a housing member having at least one compartment for containing a predetermined amount of water therein. A cleaning member for cleaning shoes is operably and rotatably attached to the housing at a first predetermined location thereon such that the cleaning member is at least partially submerged in water when the housing contains such predetermined amount of water. At least one platform member is removably disposed on the housing at a second predetermined location such that a user may stand on the platform member above such predetermined amount of water. A motor is operably connected to the cleaning member for enabling the cleaning member to rotate. A power source is operably connected to the motor for supplying power thereto. A switch mechanism is operably connected to the power source for selectively turning the power source on and off.

Abstract: A transillumination system for carrying out breast examination to determine the existence of a carcinoma and other pathological conditions. The system includes a portable light-beam projector in the form of a gun which houses a low-voltage, high wattage lamp whose reflector is sealed to the end of the gun barrel to project a light beam therethrough, the gun grip having a trigger-finger switch for the lamp. The gun operates in conjunction with a camera assembly formed by a tripod-mounted bracket having a camera secured to one end, the camera being trained on a guide fixture attached to the other end. The fixture is adapted to engage the rib cage of the patient just above the breast and to present the breast to the camera lens at a fixed location. The shutter mechanism of the camera is coupled to a remote actuator operable by one hand or foot of the operator.
