Abstract: A supplemented antacid formulation comprising at least one primary component and at least one supplemental component. In one embodiment, a primary component is selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and potassium bicarbonate, and a supplemental component is selected from the group consisting of L-glutamine, deglycyrrhizinated licorice, D-limonene, papain, ginger extract, zinc L-carnosine complex, and a probiotic blend. In one further embodiment, a supplemented antacid formulation comprises a plurality of primary components in combination with a plurality of supplemental components, wherein the primary components are selected from the group consisting of calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, and potassium bicarbonate, and the supplemental components are selected from the group consisting of L-glutamine, deglycyrrhizinated licorice, D-limonene, papain, ginger extract, zinc L-carnosine complex, and a probiotic blend.

Abstract: A peristaltic pump for transporting a fluid within a flexible tube having a first end, a middle portion, and a second end. The peristaltic pump may include a roller assembly positioned for rotation, a first door positioned adjacent to the roller assembly and pivotable about a first direction, and a second door positioned adjacent to the roller assembly and pivotable about a second direction. The first door and the second door may pivot open and the middle portion of the flexible tube may be positioned about the roller assembly.

Abstract: A fastener constructed of a receptacle enclosure shell (10), a frame structure (30) containing flexible beams (34, 35), and a plunger insert (50), is disclosed. The flexible beams (34, 35) contain transverse fins (36, 37) for releasably engaging internal salient ridges (16, 17) extending from within transverse walls (25, 26) of a main cavity (21) defined within receptacle enclosure shell (10) . The receptacle enclosure shell (10), also includes a notched end wall (14) for slidably retaining plunger insert (50). plunger insert (50) has forked fingers (52, 53) that are internally constrained within main cavity (21) of receptacle enclosure shell (10), and are directed towards transverse fins (36, 37) of flexible beams (34, 35), heretofore inserted into receptacle enclosure shell (10). plunger insert (50) also contains a slidable shaft (54) Which extends out through notched end wall (14) of receptacle enclosure shell (10), and at its outermost extremity, projects a boss (56).
