Abstract:
Systems and methods of measuring feet and designing and creating orthopedic inserts are described. A leg length discrepancy of a user is measured and this data, along with foot size are input into a computer. The computer then creates a computer model of a custom shoe insert based on this information. The computer model is then sent to a 3D printer to print the insert. The insert consists of a base insert with partial correction, and several additional layers that are added successively over time until a full correction is obtained. This eliminates any pain associated with a fully corrective insert, and allows the body to adjust gradually to the correction.
Abstract:
A device and method for treating disease involves inserting a scope into a patient's body, the scope having a light source, a camera and a cartridge connected thereto. The cartridge has two chambers separated by membrane, a first one of the chambers containing a virus, and a second one of the chambers being connected to a plurality of microneedles configured for extending into the patient's tissue upon insertion of the scope. Cells from the patient are removed via suction from the microneedles and are deposited in the second chambers. The membrane is then broken to mix the virus with the cells to infect the cells, and the infected cells are then transported back into the patient to treat the disease.

Abstract:
A method and system for diagnosing and treating infection or disease, in which an individual takes a photograph of an infected or diseased area of a body using a camera or imaging system connected to a microprocessor. The photograph is sent to a diagnosing center having a server with a second microprocessor and a database of photographs correlated with different diseases and infections. The second microprocessor scans the image received from the camera and compares it to the photographs in the database. If a match is found, the second microprocessor then notes the disease or bacteria corresponding to the matching photograph. The second microprocessor then searches an additional database correlated to the match, to further refine the diagnosis. The second microprocessor then searches the second database for a treatment corresponding to the identified disease or bacteria. Once a treatment is identified, information regarding this treatment is automatically sent to the individual's microprocessor.
Abstract:
Apparatuses for playing signals received from the internet or other information highway or a stored database on one or more speakers are described. The apparatus has a receiver for receiving information from preselected addresses; a processor for interpreting the signals; and at least one speaker for playing signals from the internet. There is at least one holographic projector connected to the receiver for projecting a holographic image received from the internet. The processor selects images that correspond with the signals played by the speaker.
Abstract:
Systems and methods of measuring feet and designing and creating orthopedic inserts are described. A leg length discrepancy of a user is measured and this data, along with a shoe model and size are input into a computer. The computer has stored information regarding foot bed dimensions of various shoe models and sizes and matches the input shoe model with the stored information. The information regarding the selected shoe model is used along with the leg length discrepancy to create a computer model of a custom shoe insert to be used with the selected shoe. The computer model is then sent to a 3D printer to print the insert.
Abstract:
A device for treating disease has a hypodermic needle having a hollow shaft and an insertion tip, at least one fiberoptic filament extending through the needle to the insertion tip, and a UV light source connected to the fiberoptic filament. The UV light source is adapted to transmit UV light at a wavelength of 280-100 nm. The hypodermic needle is inserted into a patient until the insertion tip is located in an area to be treated, and the UV light is supplied to the at least one fiberoptic filament, so that the light travels along the filament to the area to be treated.
Abstract:
A foot covering formed by a sock and a plurality of artificial toenails attached to the sock at the front end of the sock. Inserting a foot into the sock places the artificial toenails approximately over natural toenails on the foot and gives the appearance of a professional pedicure.

Abstract:
An apparatus for playing signals received from the Internet or other information highway on one or more speakers and video displays has a receiver for receiving information from a preselected address; a processor for interpreting the signals; a user interface for choosing between a connection to a personal computer and the preselected address; and at least one sound emitting device and a display for playing the processed signal. The apparatus has an ornamental design on the outside which is related to the topic of the signals received from the address.
