    摘要: Efficient and adequate disposal of medical infectious waste is proportional to the reduction of the spread of infectious diseases and the disease itself among humans. The essence of this invention is that infectious medical waste is in a timely, fast, efficient, simple, and environmentally friendly safely disposed of and turned into inert-municipal waste. Previous methods and devices for the disposal of infectious medical waste involved long-term procedures for the collection, sorting and storage of infectious medical waste, which increases the risk of secondary infections. This invention skips the process of collecting, sorting and storing medical infectious waste, and the entire process in the invention takes place in three unbreakable phases whose end product is municipal-inert waste. It is important to emphasize that with this invention, even the smallest amount of infectious medical waste will be disposed of immediately in an appropriate manner. And as a result, a maximum control over all medical infectious waste is achieved.

    摘要: Opening and closing a door without the use of one's hands is facilitated. For instance, an apparatus can comprise one or two rotatable rings. For a one ring apparatus, the ring can have an opening so that the inner cross section of the opening of the ring can be pushed with a forearm or knee so that the ring will rotate and the person can then pull on the ring with his/her forearm or knee to open the door. In a two-ring apparatus, two adjacent rings, both with openings, can comprise similar push surfaces. When pushed on the pushed surfaces, the rings will rotate and the cross sections of the openings of the rings come into contact with one another, creating a surface against which a forearm or knee can pull on to open the door. A rotation plane converter can turn a doorknob using the apparatus.
