A stack of coasters each having a liquid absorbent layer and a material that prevents liquid from penetrating through the coaster, the coasters adhered together in the stack by an adhesive that enables each coaster to be readily removed from the stack.

Poster-coaster

Apparatus for exercising a person's balance control, the apparatus comprising: a motion stage operable to displace an object mounted thereto; a treadmill mounted to the stage and comprising a belt having a runway surface on which a person using the treadmill stands, walks and/or runs; and a controller that controls the motion stage to provide a displacement of the treadmill and thereby the treadmill runway surface.

Balance perturbation system and trainer

Apparatus for coupling a piezoelectric motor to a moveable body, the motor having a coupling surface for coupling to the moveable body, the apparatus comprising: at least one elastic element that provides at least a portion of a coupling force for pressing the coupling surface of the piezoelectric motor to the moveable body; and at least one shape memory component that is controllable to change shape and/or phase; wherein the at least a portion of the coupling force provided by an elastic element of the at least one elastic element changes responsive to changes in shape and/or phase of the at least one memory component.

Controllable coupling force

A method and apparatus are provided for ultrasound imaging wherein ultrasound imaging data is acquired at points in a plurality of imaging slices and the ultrasound imaging data is used to determine the relative positions of the slices.
