Abstract: A device for assisting an individual participating in a focused breathing session consisting of at least one respiration cycles. The device produces a first sensory cue which corresponds to the exhalation phase of the respiratory cycle and a second sensory cue which corresponds to the inhalation phase of the respiratory cycle. The first and second sensory cues are repeatedly produced by the device over the duration of the focused breathing session at a rate selected by the individual. In one embodiment of the device, the sensory cues are visually produced by a light projecting sphere. In another embodiment, the sensory cues are audible.

Abstract: A device for assisting an individual participating in a focused breathing session consisting of at least one respiration cycle. The device produces a first sensory cue which corresponds to the exhalation phase of the respiratory cycle and a second sensory cue which corresponds to the inhalation phase of the respiratory cycle. The first and second sensory cues are repeatedly produced by the device at a specific rate over the duration of the focused breathing session as selected by the individual or in accordance with a predetermined program. In one embodiment of the device, the sensory cues are visually produced by a light projecting sphere. In another embodiment, the sensory cues are audible.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus for the delivery of a fluid substance, such as a medicament, in a spray form to the ear of a user comprising a fluid receptacle, a pump, a delivery tube bent at an angle of approximately 90.degree. and a nozzle which is dimensioned to prevent damage to the external organs of the ear when introduced therein.

Abstract: A bone conduction personal audio listening device and method is worn behind one or both ears in substantially close contact with the mastoid bone of the listener. The device is maintained on the listener's ear by hooking over the top of the ear, by hooking under the bottom of the ear, and by the contact with the mastoid bone. Due to placement of the device behind the listener's ear(s) ambient sounds of the local environment can be heard. Provision is also made for the listener through ear plug means to block out ambient sounds if so desired. The listener can remove and replace the waterproof audio speaker assembly of the device for cleaning purposes, or to change the color or reflectivity of the device for safety and/or cosmetic reasons.
