Abstract: A ball game is submitted. The ball game has an elevated, flat surface which resembles a volleyball net, but where there are three rows of ten boxes. Each hole (box) in the net is 12 inches × 12 inches, and the game ball is around 5 inches in diameter. A user stands on either side of the elevated, flat surface and may throw the ball through one of the holes (boxes) in the elevated, flat surface. Another user stands on the opposite side of the elevated, flat surface and may catch the ball and return it in the same way. The height of the elevated, flat surface which resembles a volleyball net, the number, and dimensions of the holes (boxes), and the size of the game ball may be changed/adjusted. However, the holes (boxes) in the net are at least 50% larger than the diameter of the game ball, e.g., in another embodiment, there are three rows of eight boxes, where each hole (box) in the net is 14 inches x 14 inches, and the game ball is around 6 inches in diameter.

Abstract: A hand-held applicator (10) for self-administration of a semi-solid medicament comprises an applicator head (14) with one or more elongate dispensing nozzles (40) and an applicator body (12) for housing a medicament reservoir, such as a cartridge (20). The applicator has a pump assembly and an actuator (30) for pumping the medicament from the one or more of the dispensing nozzles. The applicator head and applicator body are fixed relative to each other in use such that movement of the nozzle or nozzles away from the scalp or other body area during actuation may be avoided. The applicator may further include an application face for spreading medicament over a body area thereby enabling dual functionality as a scalp and body applicator. A dispensing system in the form of a dispensing head and cartridge therefor is also described and characterised by venting features for improving priming of the dispenser. Such priming means are suitable for use in the applicators of the application.

Abstract: An applicator for topically applying a semi-solid medicament comprises an applicator head having an applicator face for spreading medicament across the skin; a sealable aperture on the applicator face; and a drive mechanism for forcing medicament out through the aperture. The applicator head includes a cartridge port at the rear of the applicator face for receiving a dispensing end of a cartridge charged with medicament. The drive mechanism comprises a dial knob rotatable around a longitudinal axis of the applicator for advancing a piston along a drive member towards the applicator head to force medicament from the cartridge and thereby dispense a predetermined dose of medicament onto the applicator face.

Abstract: The method and system of the present invention permits a physician to transmit images captured by an imaging device such as an endoscope or fluoroscope and associated data to a remote viewer in real time. A method and system for transmitting medical imaging and associated data to a remote user begins with capturing a still or moving image (video stream) with a camera attached to a medical imaging device such as an endoscope or images generated by a fluoroscope. Such images are forwarded to and processed by a video capture device. Image related data (images data stream) is simultaneously forwarded through an in-line, one way, filter to the video capture device while the video stream is also forwarded to the video capture device. The video and data streams are then forwarded to a data assimilating component comprising a server capable of synchronizing, compressing, and combining the streams into a compressed combined stream. This compressed combined stream is forwarded to a remote user.

Abstract: A loading and unloading system for pallets for containers or vehicles uses moving wire cables for loading. The system will guide and locate palletized goods on the moving wire cables. Downwardly extending members, such as wheels, on the pallets will be raised out of contact with the floor of the container or vehicle during conveying of the pallets.

Abstract: A flexible element loading and unloading station in which a number of clo travelling loops are utilized over the top of a platform in such a way that one part of the loop in maximum tension carries the applied load while the other part travelling in the opposite direction is out of contact with the load.
