Abstract: A multiple zone climate control system includes a HVAC unit, a digital wireless network, powered wireless adjustable registers controlled by their respective zone controllers, and a central controller that controls the HVAC unit and coordinates the zone controllers for concerted action.

Abstract: A multiple zone HVAC system comprises powered flow rate adjustable registers. It can further comprise zone controllers that can wirelessly control the registers, and a central controller that controls the HVAC unit and coordinates zone controllers.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a multiple zone climate control system which includes a HVAC unit that supplies conditioned air to more than one zone, a zone controller in each zone, a central controller, one or more air flow rate regulating devices in each zone, and a digital wireless network connecting the air flow rate regulating devices, zone controllers and the central controller. The multiple zone climate control system is capable of energy efficiently regulating temperature in each zone independently as well as providing other air conditioning functions such as humidifying, cleaning and filtering air in each zone independently. The multiple zone climate control system can be installed in a single zone climate control system to convert it into a multiple zone climate control system.

Abstract: An affordable and easy to install multiple zone HVAC system comprising powered wireless adjustable registers controlled by their respective zone controllers, and a central controller that controls the HVAC unit and coordinates zone controller for concerted action.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and device of reducing pain and other symptoms in a patient utilizing a non-invasive electrical stimulation device applied over acupuncture points and adjacent nerves of a patient. The non-invasive electrical stimulation device is a portable electrical therapeutic device. The device includes electronic circuitry for imparting electrical impulses to the desired acupuncture points and areas. Batteries within the device power the electric circuitry, and an operable switch on the device controls on/off and pulse frequency and amplitude.

Abstract: A method for inactivating pathogens is provided. This method generally comprises the application of an effective amount of inhibitory compounds, preferably as a topical formulation, either alone or in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier or diluent. The inhibitory compounds include a copolymer of maleic acid and styrenesulfonic acid, polyvinyl phthalate sulphate, and their salts. The method can be used for preventing transmission and infection of sexual transmitted diseases, for treating and preventing bacterial vaginitis, and as a contraceptive method. These contraceptives generally have fewer side effects than conventional vaginal contraceptives (e.g., Nonoxynol-9). For example, the compounds useful in the methods of the invention not only are not toxic to natural and beneficial flora and, thus, do not upset the local microbiological balance, but also help maintain a low pH in the vaginal environment.
