Abstract: The present invention provides a tear stimulation device and method for delivering thermal energy at controlled rates to stimulate the creation of a natural tear by activating the thermo-receptors on the sensory nerves of the eye and extended orbital region, modulation of the thermal energy resulting in controlled, repeated tearing to provide a naturally lubricated and nourishing environment in which the ocular surface can heal.

Abstract: A support for a railing of a roof hatch having a coaming has an angle body with a first elongate member and a second elongate members that is perpendicular to the first elongate member. First and second brackets extend inward from the first and second elongate members, respectively. Each bracket has a coaming-receiving portion that is sized and shaped to directly engage the inner surface, upper surface and outer surface of the hatch coaming, and a flashing covering portion that is sized and shaped to receive the flashing. The bracket engages the coaming such that the angle body is supported laterally adjacent to the flashing of the coaming. One or more post supports connected to and extending outward from angle body.
