A medical appliance for the treatment of one or more sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea in a patient, the appliance comprising: a biasing member for inserting behind and exerting a force upon the patient's soft palate or tongue, wherein the biasing member is inserted in a reduced or minimized form and then expanded or firms once in place to exert the force. The appliance may be nasally inserted or be placed through the mouth. In a particular configuration, both the soft palate and tongue are biased to prevent obstruction of the flow of air in the nasopharyngeal airway.

Devices, systems and methods for the treatment of sleep apnea

A razor including a head and a handle attached to the head via a pivot mechanism. An adjustable spring is used to orient the head. The head includes a top member, a bottom member, and one or more pins to retain a blade stack between the top member and the bottom member, the blade stack to comprise at least one razor blade and at least one spacer. The head also includes at least one removable fastener to enable the user to fasten the top member and the bottom member around the blade stack. The handle may be made of multiple segments with a common connection type making it reconfigurable by the user. The head may have channels to allow a fluid, gel or product from a cavity in the handle to the surface of the head. The handle may have a magnet at the end or in the last segment.

Variable number of blades hair shaving instrument

A medical apparatus for the treatment of one or more sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea in a patient is provided. The apparatus has an elongate member with a middle portion, a first fixation element and a second fixation element. The middle portion applies a force to a segment of a patient's airway.

Apparatus and methods for the treatment of sleep apnea

A medical appliance for the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea in a patient, the appliance comprising: a securing device configured to be removably affixed to the patient's jaw; and a biasing member which is insertable behind the soft palate and/or the base of the patient's tongue, thereby providing for the flow of air in the nasopharyngeal airway; wherein the securing device is connected to the biasing member to allow insertion and/or removal of the biasing member from the nasopharyngeal airway.

Palate retainer with attached nasopharyngeal airway extender for use in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnea

A medical apparatus for the treatment of one or more sleep disorders such as obstructive sleep apnea in a patient is provided. The medical apparatus has an elongate member with a middle portion, a first fixation element and a second fixation element. The middle portion applies a force to a segment of a patient's airway.

A synthetic roofing shingle or tile is provided, in which a core material is formed, of generally less expensive material, and with a skin material provided, disposed on a plurality of surfaces of the shingle or tile, with the skin material being generally of greater expense and having desirable weather-withstanding qualities.

Synthetic roofing shingle or tile

The present invention comprises an ultrasonic resonant rod waveguide-radiator with at least three cylindrical sections, one of which is an entrance section having a planar entrance surface and another of which is an exit section having a planar exit surface, and at least two sections having a variable cross-section. The cylindrical sections and sections of variable cross-section are arranged in alternating fashion and connected to each other acoustically rigidly. The dimensions of the cylindrical sections and the sections of variable cross-section are selected so that the gain of the waveguide-radiator is significantly greater than unity and the strain created by passage of ultrasonic waves through the waveguide-radiator is minimized, increasing the operational life of the waveguide-radiator and maximizing the amount of useful energy transmitted by the waveguide-radiator.

Disclosed is an intercrosslinked multilayer polymeric article having at least one thermoplastic polymer layer intercrosslinked by UV radiation at the interface with a core layer of a crosslinkable polymer. The selection of the thermoplastic polymer and the crosslinkable polymer is such that a coextruded composite product of these materials has poor interlayer adhesion prior to radiation treatment. However, the interfacial intercrosslinking provides superior bonding between the layers. The same UV radiation for intercrosslinking typically can also cure the crosslinkable polymer to give the multilayer article excellent structural integrity. Also disclosed is a method for preparing an intercrosslinked multilayer polymeric article.

Multilayer structure with intercrosslinked polymer layers

A self-heating, portable massage or therapy table is disclosed. The portable massage table comprises a cushioned pad that is comfortable for a user to sit or lie on. Preferably inside the cushioned pad is an electrical heat mechanism which heats the cushioned pad. The cushioned pad and the heat mechanisms are sectioned so that the surface can be folded. Finally, the table comprises foldable legs that support the table.
