Abstract: A store low-stock item reporting and promotion system may include a remote device to be carried by a shopper when shopping within a store and may be configured to acquire an image associated with an item. The system may include a server configured to obtain the image from the remote device, identify the item based upon the image, and determine a low-stock condition for the item based upon the image. Upon determining the low-stock condition, the server may generate a low-stock notification and communicate the low-stock notification to another device, and generate a digital promotion and communicate the digital promotion to the remote device.

Abstract: A process for conducting therapeutic deep tissue physical massage on human patients, and an aid for use in practicing the process, are characterized by a solid, massage stick comprised of three polyethylene glycols, namely, a major proportion of a first polyethylene glycol having a relatively high viscosity and a melting temperature in excess of the temperature of the human body, a lower proportion of a second polyethylene glycol having a melting temperature less than the temperature of the human body, and a minor proportion of a third polyethylene glycol exhibiting lubricity or emolliency.
