U.S. appeals court strikes down Virginia's gay marriage ban
By Ian Simpson
(Reuters) – A U.S. appeals court on Monday struck down Virginia's ban on same-sex marriage as unconstitutional, the latest in a string of court rulings to back gay marriage.
A three-judge panel of the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, ruled 2-1 to affirm a February ruling by a federal judge who struck down the state ban as unconstitutional.
One Kuwaiti inmate to stay at Guantanamo, second goes home: panel
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A Kuwaiti man with links to al Qaeda will remain at the Guantanamo Bay prison, while a second is cleared for transfer home, a U.S. national security panel said on Friday.
Faez Mohammed Ahmed al-Kandari, who has been held at the U.S. prison in Cuba without charge since 2002, is a security threat because he is susceptible to recruitment by extremists, the Periodic Review Board said.

Harding letters reveal steamy side of 29th U.S. president
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – On Christmas Eve 1910, future U.S. President Warren Harding wrote his mistress Carrie Phillips a letter that began: "There are no words, at my command, sufficient to say the full extent of my love for you … mad, tender, devoted, ardent, eager, passion-wild."
Harding praises Phillips' "matchless embrace" and adds: "To have and to hold you, in happiness to you, exclusively, in satisfying and satisfied love, would be the triumph of living and loving."

WASHINGTON, July 18 (Reuters) – The U.S. Army will provide
gender identity treatment for Chelsea Manning, a soldier who is
serving a sentence in a military prison for leaking classified
documents to WikiLeaks, the Pentagon said on Friday.

Member of Eisenhower Memorial panel says troubled design is dead
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – A member of the commission overseeing construction of the Eisenhower Memorial said on Friday the controversial design by celebrity architect Frank Gehry should be scrapped.
Commissioner Bruce Cole said Gehry's design of the memorial to Dwight Eisenhower, the World War Two military leader and 34th president, had generated too much opposition, especially with Congress withholding construction funds for two years in a row.

Buckyball magnetic toys recalled, ending legal fight
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Magnetic toys called Buckyballs, which can be swallowed and have been blamed for numerous injuries, are being recalled at the end of a years-long legal fight, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said on Thursday.

Who actualy says which tyres are to be used??
It seems that from what you read the drivers are saying the super soft where the wrong tyres for the last two races!
Shouldnt the teams get a say in the choice of tyres!Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
a good question mga and mick! alosno talking about the tires and he says the extra soft will not even less to the first curve! ho ho ho
also he said that with those tires they will be 6 seconds slower in changai and how ridiculos that would make them look on tv! ho ho ho poor guys! they are concernd about tv image! lol
- 2 Replies to HEINZ G
At the moment most of the complaints appear to be from the teams whose car is not kind on the tyres, Braun, seem to have it sorted, as do Williams....
I agree with you this time, Mick. The current tyre rule is daft.
I also agree with Alonso.
The question is ...
... Is there one person on this forum who thinks the current tyre choice rule is sensible?

One Day in Manchester
We ate here about 18 months ago and concluded that it is good for hen nights or other alcohol fuelled celebrations, but fine dining it is not. The night we were there we shared the restaurant with about six to ten different hen nights and they all seemed to be having a great time, but I wouldn't recommend it to...
Great food. Prepare to eat lots, as the dishes are lots of little plates...good price. Good drinks price too and a good range of drinks. I wouldn't say this was a couples night more like a group - I went with work and they had us dancing and smashing plates. After there was a disco. It's fun night !!
Visited as a group of 12 on a Saturday evening, we bought a voucher for £12.50 each. It was amazing value, food was plentiful and good quality. Staff very friendly & efficient. The entertainment was excellent, involved everyone in the restaurant.
To be honest I wouldn't go just as a couple, its more of a group place.
Came across this very unexpecting restaurant by chance. Were surprised how sweetly and homely it was decorated inside. The waiters were super nice, chatty and very friends (all thumbs up!!!). The restaurant was as good as empty when we visited which gave us a very relaxing and quiet evening to enjoy our diner in peace.
The food was absolutely fantastic...
Apart from a speedy service and good food.i have nouthing more positive to say.not much of an atmosphere.very loud with hen party guests.basic greek music on a loop.cramped uncomfy seating.a smelly room ! food was still being served when some staff got the hen parties doing the conga.then the servers came crashing out the kitchen straight into the dancers !...
myself and 10 work friends had a meal here last night night .. the food was delicious, the starters and then mains, we had 2 vegetarians which was also catered for and they said they really enjoyed theirs. all the staff was fantastic they worked so hard serving all our food and then put their full efforts into the show...
I bought a voucher for myself and my boyfriend after hearing fabulous reviews about Bouzouki. We went on a Friday night for the 15 dish Mezze. The staff service was great, we felt well looked after!
The drink prices were reasonable considering it was a Friday night average price was £3.50 for a single spirit! The food was scrumptious! Very...
An excellent Greek restaurant! Food and service is spot on and the entrainment at the end of the night was just great. Really good night out and people who I've recommended it too have loved it as well.
Awesome waiters who were very attentive, friendly and fun. Food was great in quantity and quality- so will definitely go back again!!!!! Loved the atmosphere and company too. Great music great fun, great hen night out! What more can I expect. 10/10!!!

By Jay Polansky email@example.com | July 17, 2012 Page 1 of 3 View Full Article "The problem with averages is it's okay if you're the Average Joe or less than the Average Joe in the situation, but if you live too long or longer than planned, and you run out of money, that's not a good position to be in," Srinivas D. Reddy, senior vice president, Institutional Income at Prudential, told PLANSPONSOR.To ensure retirees can match their income with expenses, retirement income options allow participants to think in monthly terms. In this sense, they resemble defined benefit (DB) plans – "old school pensions" – that many companies can no longer afford, said Jason Chepenik, a managing partner of Chepenik Financial. They can, in fact, save plan sponsors money.Reddy said that participants who do not save adequately for retirement might work longer. With older employees on the books, companies will face expensive payroll and health care expenses. This raises the question: why are plan sponsors not offering these options?

Respond to Review of Pi - Euclid
by SynthVegan
Review: Vegan pizza in St. Louis? It really does exist! The Euclid location is in a posh neighborhood and overall it's a really nice inside. The waiter was very friendly and was very knowledgeable about the vegan options. First off, the thin crust is vegan, however, although the thick crust is also made from vegan ingredients, they use butter in the rising process (as he told me), so the end product of the thick crust is not vegan. So back to the amazing vegan pizza, the cheese is made from Daiya cheese (the most amazing vegan cheese out there now, it melts and stretches) and St. Louis' very own Match meat...I also had some green peppers and onions thrown in there. I was floored after my first bite, the pizza was sooo good, and I'd venture to say that it's the best I've had in the Midwest!

Basically you are camping in a huge parking lot, but the tradeoff is the great location. Spots were a bit tight both widthwise and lengthwise. The park was quite empty while we were there, so we didn't have neighbors and could park our car in an empty site. If the park were full, it would have been a challenge space wise for sure (we have a 40ft motorhome). Wifi worked great and satellite was not a problem. The staff members were very friendly and helpful. We enjoyed staying in the park and would definitely stay again. - tmiller505

Pretty nice park for a fairground. Good Wi-Fi near the office. Friendly staff and centrally located for us. It is a large parking lot and when events are going on some traffic, but all in all, it was pretty quiet when we were there. There was a major cutting horse event going on. I would stay here again. - nedmtnman
Jul 2011 - $35.00
This the asphalt jungle. We were in the spill over lot which is a hop, skip and jump from the main lot. This is an asphalt parking lot with underground utilities that they pull up when needed. We had water, sewer and 50 amp service. They had Wi-Fi but it was impossible to get on. It always timed out before it would connect. We used our AT&T air card with no problems. There are no trees. The parking lot is well lit at night with roving security. Your biggest fear is getting run over by a golf cart. We were here for a horse show. Although it was 105 degrees in the parking lot, the arena was air conditioned. The parking lot was clean but it seems that some people can't follow the rules and pick up after their pets. Doggie dirt was every where. - Michael47

Enjoyed this place - the office and bath areas are all in rustic wood. Very nice. We were guided to our site, which was a pull through. Seems to be a lot of permanent residents but they were in a different area of the park. Downtown area, yet it was quiet. Easy on and easy off I-244/US 412 freeways but you'd best check out the map prior to arriving, or leaving too. Simple to access but still it could be easy to make an incorrect turn and get lost. Great showers! Free coffee and doughnuts. Nice staff. I would seek out this place again if in the area. - Jake67
May 2015 - $32.00
Park was clean and well-maintained. Staff very friendly and helpful. This park is mostly long-term/permanent, but there is a section of pull-through sites for short-term stays. Full hook-ups + basic cable. All services worked well. This is not a vacation resort, but is a great value if you have plans to be away from your site all day (business/event/site-seeing). A good location for just about anywhere in Tulsa or Owasso. It is near the airport, but truthfully, the airplanes were not anywhere near as noisy or as frequent as the thunder the weekend we stayed. - ACope

On March 31, 1994, Madonna was a guest on the Late Show With David Letterman. What should have been a seemingly innocuous interview has become a piece of talk-show history.
Madge's language and behavior – including 14 F-bombs and her refusal to leave the stage – caused waves of controversy. Her profanity made the show the most-censored network talk show episode in history, but it was also one of the highest-rated of Letterman's career.
Things may have been fated to go south from Letterman's introduction, in which he described Madonna as "one of the biggest stars in the world" who "has sold over 80 million albums, starred in countless films and slept with some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry." This prompted bandleader Paul Shaffer to respond, "She's your guest!" Letterman quipped the line was in Madonna's bio.
Madonna strode onstage carrying a pair of her underwear, which she continually asked Dave to smell during the interview. During the course of the interview, she smoked a cigar, compared an overhead microphone to a phallus, managed to make an innuendo out of her nose ring, objected to a commercial break (claiming she wanted to "break the rules"), and asked Letterman if he was wearing a toupee.
She also asked Letterman if he smoked "endo" (West Coast slang for marijuana, popularized by Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice," released in January '94) and refused to leave the stage, prompting cries of "Get off!" from the audience. (A segment of the broadcast featuring the United States Grocery Bagging Champion was cut due to Madonna's refusal to leave the stage.)
When she finally exited the stage, Letterman joked, "Coming up in the next half hour, Mother Teresa is going to drop by."
He then continued: "Oh, I see we've been canceled; there is no show tomorrow night."

Name: Carlos R. Luna
Location: 13th Avenue and Tennyson Street
Agency: Denver Police Department
Date killed: May 21, 1992
Cause of DeathShot
Suspect: Angelo Diaz
It started out as something so trivial.
On May 21, 1992, neighbors across the street from Carlos R. Luna's apartment near 13th Avenue and Tennyson Street were partying.
But they were so loud, Luna yelled at them to turn the music down.
People from the party drove by Carlos and exchanged words with him.
When they drove by a second time, someone drew a gun and shot Luna to death.
There were witnesses but no charges have ever been filed.
Luna's mother, Theresa Wise, 66, said convicted killer Angelo Diaz, 34, who is serving a 48-year-prison sentence in Limon Correctional Facility, is a suspect in her son's death.
Carlos R. Luna, courtesy Families of Victims of Homicide and Missing Persons
Luna had beaten Diaz up the day before and Diaz, who was 18 at the time, was at the loud apartment party on the night Luna was killed, Wise said.
Although more than three witnesses saw who killed Luna, no one has identified the shooter, she said.
"I was angry because even his friends wouldn't say who it was, and they knew," Wise said.
She said she believes that witnesses didn't say what they knew because of fear the suspect would retaliate against them.
Denver police have told her since then that Diaz became a suspect in the deaths of four other people.

^ Probably. Looks like they at least left things open. It did look like a good opportunity to introduce a new character.

A lot of people think Person of Interest is like a Batman TV show, with Batman/Bruce Wayne split up into Reese and Finch.
And since the show keeps developing more recurring villains, people are calling them the rogues gallery.
Also, Carter is kind of like a pre-commissioner James Gordon and Fusco is like Harvey Bullock.
And Paige Turco's character is Catwoman.
I've been thinking about the Batman analogy lately too. Batman can be split between Reese and Finch, but you can also put Finch in the Alfred role.

Head coach Mark Jackson says several of his guys played a key role in what he calls a 'big-time' victory.
Machine Generated Transcript
It's just talk about what what turned things -- save them. What we defended. We defended level we competed they made tough shots we have veteran guys and have a history of making tough shots. We rebounded the basketball and you know I can point to. Ten different guys that played key roles Seth Curry was huge made it basically every play down the stretch. Klay Thompson struggled from the field but defended OJ Mayo and a high level guys playing you know. All star caliber basketball right now and Klay Thompson made him work for everything -- dream -- -- was huge. Gave us extra possessions. Quality players. Dave really rebound the basketball Harrison Barnes defending scoring rebounding. It was a big time big time wonderful young basketball team. Thanks to -- You know the thing about it is. Teams are going to treat him like he's that guy. And we're going after it set screens get -- open and make life easy fall. And tonight I thought we did a great job of screening. And then he did a great job of coming off aggressive whether it be to score Tomei plays well he certainly. Horrendous this team down the stretch. The way that I envisioned when. -- Yeah he was some I think you know. Our guys told me that when he went down -- and tweaked his ankle a little bit on the on the big screen I didn't see it but I think that around. Something on the inside totally had a muscle Muster and down you draw rock hard five iron. Demand in a basketball even happened me up in the little little plays so he was. You know he was our leader and he is I'll -- about tonight. I really believe it took -- older -- Kyle Orton and yeah it's. We understand we have to do it by committee and is very important for us -- You know get five guys rebound the basketball. I believe disaster away you know the last -- -- defense is securing a basketball. You know if you -- beat good teams on the road you got to make sure you do that we give them. Quite honestly got to learn anything about my team better and already know I had guys that. You know showed up right after the draft. I guess second year guys I was right along with -- I got every player other -- one that was indeed in the facility today after Labor Day. Had been gunned and out grinding it out and committed to one another -- nothing that. A game is gonna show me about these guys is tremendous group and I'm truly. Privileged to coach. They're young basketball team and there -- -- you realize is people. -- you say dirt risk he's not there on camera loves. Ricky real. -- Candidate we don't have Brandon Rush tendon today. We don't we have we don't we don't have you know -- remiss in two guys sense you know legitimate you know guys in our lineup. But that's an event on there we go find a way to gut it out and continue to compete. Talk about winning against two teams there's going to be in the mix in their building home. Says a lot about. This basketball team in the months. Source. You. If we do it. While that was what we planned. And make him a trade does what we planned in draft and Harrison Barnes found that being said we got a lot of guys that don't have NBA experience. Home so it's going be a process and we'll stick true process continue to grind out. Continue to work hard and continue to learn from nights like last night playing against a team that right now is better than us right now I have to stop players come. But you you have to lose a game like that and learn from it and and we certainly did that tonight.

What I do
I compose; I orchestrate; I poorly perform my music, and sometimes I may even record it; maybe post it online, accompanied by a video that I might make, or not. At times I write poetry together with music; I might sing it as lyrics, or get someone else to do it for me. That's what I do in a nutshell. Too imprecise..? Oh well.

This invention relates generally to devices for therapeutic treatment of the human ear and more particularly concerns a disposable plug for warming the inner ear.
Warming the ear is an accepted method of relieving inner ear pain. Inner ear relief is commonly accomplished, though to a limited extent, by warming the outer ear to achieve a resultant heat transfer to the inner ear. Known outer ear warming devices generally have an insulated housing that covers the outer ear. A hollow chamber within the housing stores a heat source, typically a heated liquid such as hot water or a phase-change salt or oil such as a carboxymethylcellulose mixture. In some of these devices, the heat source is introduced into its chamber for each use. For example, boiling water is poured into the chamber and, after use, the cooled water is drained from the chamber. In others, a permanent heat source is provided in the chamber and the device is placed in a microwave oven or in boiling water to heat the source. The initial temperature of the heat source must be relatively high in order to compensate for the losses incurred during transfer of heat to the inner ear. Even if the source does sufficiently meet the initial temperature requirement so as to be capable of delivering high enough temperatures to the inner ear, the temperature in the chamber drops relatively quickly so that useful warmth is applied to the inner ear for only a very brief time interval. To reduce these heat transfer losses, some devices have multiple chambers with a different heat source liquid in each chamber, the different liquids providing different thermal characteristics so as to afford some control to the temperature level and duration of the heat transfer process. Other devices include permanent heat generating sources such as electrically powered heating coils to control and maintain temperature levels in the device.
All of these devices suffer from one or more common deficiencies. They are not disposable and their heat source must be replaced or reheated each time they are used. They are structurally complex and, therefore, unwieldy for the care-giver and uncomfortable for the patient. They have many rigid components that inhibit adaptability to the unique anatomical structure of individual patients. Their time and temperature controls are so complex as to appreciably increase both their cost and their likelihood of failure. They are generally inefficient, inasmuch as they apply heat directly to the outer ear and only indirectly to the intended target, the inner ear. They are to a great extent impractical, in that their structural design is dedicated to their conformance to the outer ear while their objective is to transfer warmth to the inner ear.
It is, therefore, an object of this invention to provide an ear warming plug which is disposable. Another object of this invention is to provide an ear warming plug which is structurally simple. A further object of this invention is to provide an ear warming plug which is easy for a care-giver to handle. Yet another object of this invention is to provide an ear warming plug which is comfortable for the patient. It is also an object of the invention to provide an ear warming plug which adapts to the unique anatomical structure of the patient. Still another object of this invention is to provide an ear warming plug which is inexpensive. An additional object of this invention is to provide an ear warming plug which applies heat directly to the inner ear. Another object of this invention is to provide an ear warming plug which is designed to conform to the contours of the inner ear.
In accordance with the invention, a disposable plug is provided for generating heat to warm an ear canal. A mask has a leading surface contoured for insertion into the outer ear for abutment against a wall of the outer ear surrounding the entrance to the ear canal. An orifice through the wall of the mask aligns with and at the entry into the ear canal when the plug is inserted into the outer ear and abuts the wall at the entrance. A sealed envelope has a leading tip that extends forward of the orifice and a trailing reservoir that extends rearward of the orifice and the trailing surface of the mask. The leading tip of the envelope is elastic and contoured to extend into the ear canal when the mask abuts the wall at the entrance to the ear canal. The trailing reservoir has a forward wall, a main body and a rear wall. The forward wall of the reservoir is contoured to comply against the trailing surface of the mask. A super-cooled liquid salt substantially fills the envelope. The envelope is sized to contain a sufficient quantity of the liquid salt to deliver heat to the inner ear at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined time period. A disk which is convex in relation to the mask is disposed in the reservoir and immersed in the liquid salt. The rear wall of the reservoir is connected to the disk. The periphery of the body of the reservoir taken along a generally vertical plane is clamped between the periphery of the mask and the periphery of the disk. As a result of this peripheral clamping, when the mask abuts the wall of the outer ear and the disk is pressed toward the mask, the disk will pop from convex to concave. Popping the disk from convex to concave decreases the volume of the reservoir, expands the tip into deeper extension into and compliance with the ear canal and activates solidification of the liquid salt to generate heat into the ear canal.
The envelope is preferably made of polyurethane. The envelope walls are either of constant thickness or the walls of the envelope tip are thinner than the walls of the envelope reservoir so as to facilitate extension of the tip internal conformance of the tip with the contour of the inner ear while maximizing the strength of the reservoir. The tip of the envelope and the mask may be contoured to suit either a left or right ear or may be symmetrical in relation to a vertical plane so that the same plug may be used in either the left or right ear. The envelope is preferably hermetically sealed and may have thermochromatic pigmentation which will provide an alert if inadvertent or premature activation of the plug has occurred or will indicate the thermal state of the plug during its proper use. The mask is sufficiently rigid to provide a defined shape to the envelope reservoir and to facilitate the popping action of the disk within the reservoir. Preferably, the mask has a second orifice, most preferably above the ear canal orifice, to maximize the transfer of heat toward the inner ear. The convex disk is preferably metallic and has an opening at approximately its apex. A cap secures a portion of the rear wall of the reservoir in the opening so to fix the rear wall of the reservoir to the disk. The preferred liquid salt is a water solution of sodium acetate.
Other objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description and upon reference to the drawings in which:
While the invention will be described in connection with preferred embodiments thereof, it will be understood that it is not intended to limit the invention to those embodiments or to the details of the construction or arrangement of parts illustrated in the accompanying drawings.
Looking at the
The Envelope
The primary functions of the envelope 10 or 20 are to contain the phase-change heat-generating chemicals of the plug and to penetrate into and conform to the ear canal C in the initial stages of activation. The envelope 10 or 20 has two major portions, a leading tip 11 or 21 and a trailing reservoir 12 or 22. In the pre-activated state of the plug the entire envelope 10 or 20, including the tip 11 or 21 and the reservoir 12 or 22, is substantially filled by the phase-change chemicals in their liquid state. The envelope 10 or 20 can be formed from a variety of materials. Rubber compounds such as bromobutyl rubber have sufficient strength and elasticity. Latex blends are generally more resilient than rubber. Polyurethane is compatible with more chemicals than latex, causes generally less allergic reaction of the skin than latex and is a better heat conductor. Whatever the material chosen, its thickness should be great enough to afford the strength necessary to contain the phase-change chemicals without rupture during storage, activation and operation of the plug, yet elastic enough to permit expansion of the top of the plug during operation, as will be hereinafter explained. Considering the requirements of the envelope 10 or 20 and the advantages and disadvantages of the various materials from which it could be formed, the presently preferred material is polyurethane, approximately 0.04 to 0.07 millimeters thick.
The phase-change chemical substantially filling the envelope is preferably a super cooled liquid salt which is compatible with the selected envelope material. If the envelope 10 or 20 is made of polyurethane, a water solution of sodium acetate, 3H2O*CH3 COONa, is suitable. A thermo-chromatic pigmentation may be included in the envelope material so as to affect a change in the color of the envelope 10 when the solidification process is activated. A change in envelope color would, therefor, serve as a warning of premature or inadvertent activation of the plug or as confirmation of appropriate heat transfer during the intended operation of the plug.
As best seen in
A relatively constant thickness can be selected for the entire envelope 10 or 20 which is more specially suited to either the expanding and conforming functions of the tip 11 or 21 or to the overall strength requirements of the envelope 10 or 20. For example, a polyurethane envelope 10 or 20 in the order of approximately 0.07 millimeters thickness would provide greater strength, while a polyurethane envelope 10 or 20 of thickness in the order of approximately 0.05 millimeters would provide greater penetration and expansion of the tip 11 or 12 in the ear canal C. Alternatively, the envelope 10 or 20 can have a reservoir 12 or 22 of a first relatively constant thickness so as to maximize the strength characteristics of a substantial portion of the envelope 10 or 20 and a tip 11 or 12 of a second, thinner, relatively constant thickness so as to facilitate maximum expansion of the tip 11 or 12. Both advantages could be obtained, for example, if the reservoir 12 or 22 has a thickness of approximately 0.07 millimeters while the tip 11 or 21 is somewhat thinner with a thickness of approximately 0.05 millimeters.
In the operation of the plug, as is hereafter explained, the thinner wall of the envelope 10 or 20 will allow for greater penetration of the tip 11 or 21 into the ear canal C and for greater compliance or adherence of the tip 11 or 21 to the contours of the walls W of the ear canal C which generally have an irregular shape. In the early stages of operation after activation of the plug, the tip 11 or 21 containing the liquid salt is still soft and able to conform to the irregularities of the ear canal C. The chemicals in the tip 11 or 21 will crystallize and solidify within approximately the first 30 seconds after activation. By the end of the solidification period, the tip 11 or 21 is permanently expanded into its conformal condition within the ear canal C. The warmth generated by the plug will thereafter be directly applied to the walls W of the ear canal C for the remainder of the approximately 13–15 minute operating period.
The Mask
The mask 30 or 40 serves multiple functions plug as a generally stabilizing structure for the ear plug. While it is not absolutely rigid, it is sufficiently rigid to provide structural definition for the elastic envelope 10 or 20. It serves as a barrier with an orifice 31 or 41 from which the elastic tip 11 or 21 forwardly extends for insertion into the ear canal C and the trailing reservoir 12 or 22 rearwardly extends. It provides a structurally defined surface suitable for abutment with the surface S of the outer ear surrounding the entry E to the ear canal C, as is best seen in
Preferably, the mask 30 or 40 is contoured to provide grooves 32 or 42 extending rearwardly from the perimeter of the orifice 31 or 41. The grooves 32 or 42 relieve the accumulation of air in the ear canal C as the tip 11 or 21 of the envelope 10 or 20 is complied to the ear canal C during the early stages following activation of the plug. The perimeter of the orifice 31 or 41 can be extended inwardly toward the ear canal C to maximize the depth of penetration of the air grooves 32 or 42 toward the ear canal C. However, the mask 30 or 40 does not penetrate into ear canal C. Relief is provided because the tip 11 or 21 of the envelope 10 or 20 is contoured by the grooves 32 or 42 so that proximate the ends of the grooves 32 or 42, the tip 11 or 21 cannot fully contour to the ear. The mask 30 or 40 may also be provided with an upper orifice 33 or 43. Some of the heat generated during the chemical phase change will be lost rearwardly of the mask 30 or 40. The upper orifice 33 or 43 reduces the heat loss by facilitating application of that heat to the outer ear. The mask 30 or 40 also has a perimeter 34 or 44 which, as noted above, is co-operable with the trigger 50 or 60 which is hereinafter described. The mask 30 or 40 is preferably formed of thin plastic such as polyethylene or polypropylene.
The Trigger
The trigger 50 or 60 facilitates activation of the heat generating process of the plug and directs extension and expansion of the elastic tip 11 or 21 of the envelope 10 or 20 in the ear canal C, as best seen in
The trigger 50 or 60 includes a disk 51 or 61 which, as best seen in
The mask 30 or 40 has been shaped so that its leading surface conforms to approximately the surface S of the outer ear surrounding the entry E to the ear canal C. The asymmetrical embodiment 30 can be specifically contoured to conform to either the left ear, as seen in
The leading contour of the envelope 10 or 20 has been contoured to approximate the trailing surface of its mask 30 or 40 when the tip 11 or 21 of the envelope 10 or 20 has been inserted through the orifice 31 or 41 of its mask 30 or 40. The volume of the envelope 10 or 20 has been determined so as to contain a quantity of the selected phase change chemical as will maintain the desired temperature, approximately 104° F., for approximately for thirteen to fifteen minutes.
The trigger 50 or 60 is designed to include the disk 51 or 61 and, if necessary, the support structure 53 which conforms the perimeter of the trigger 50 or 60 to the perimeter of the mask 30 or 40.
The plastic components, being the cap 54 or 64 and the mask 30 or 40, may be formed by injection molding. The envelope 10 or 20 may be formed by the use of technology similar to the technology used in making condoms. The trigger 50 or 60 can be cut and formed from a thin sheet of steel. The liquid chemicals are obtained by melting the selected salt.
After the trigger 50 or 60 is introduced into the envelope 10 or 20 through the aperture 14 or 24 in the throat 13 or 23, the phase change chemicals are injected in their liquid state through the aperture 14 or 24 into the envelope 10 or 20. Residual air is removed from the envelope 10 or 20 and then the envelope 10 or 20 is hermetically sealed. The envelope 10 or 20 is then seated in its mask 30 or 40 by inserting the leading tip 11 or 21 of the envelope 10 or 20 through the orifice 31 or 41 of its mask 30 or 40 and the perimeter of the trigger 50 or 60 is engaged in the perimeter of its mask 30 or 40 with the perimeter of the envelope 10 or 20 clamped there between. The cap 51 or 61 is then inserted into the opening 52 or 62 of disk 51 or 61, engaging the throat 13 or 23 of the envelope 10 or 20 between the cap 54 or 64 and the perimeter of the opening 52 or 62. Thus the rear wall of the reservoir 12 or 22 is linked to approximately the apex of the disk 51 or 61 of the trigger 50 or 60.
By way of example, it is anticipated that the asymmetrical embodiment will be shaped for the left ear, the right ear plug being an opposite hand version of the left ear plug shown, and the symmetrical embodiment will serve either ear. The anticipated dimensions for a polyurethane envelope 10 or 20 containing a water solution of sodium acetate would be such that the maximum vertical height of the mask 30 or 40, reservoir 12 or 22 and trigger 50 or 60 would be 28 millimeters and the maximum width of the plug would be 15 millimeters. The diameter of the lower orifice 31 or 41 in the mask 30 or 40 would be approximately 13 millimeters and the diameter of the upper orifice 33 would be approximately 6 millimeters. If the tip 11 or 21 of the envelope 10 or 20 has walls thinner than the walls of the remainder of the envelope 10 or 20, then the maximum diameter of the thinner walled tip 11 or 21 is approximately 6 millimeters. The tip 11 or 21 of the envelope 10 or 20 extends forwardly of the base diameter of the mask orifice 31 or 41 by 10 millimeters. From the base of the lower orifice 31 or 41 to its rear perimeter, the mask 30 or 40 is approximately 7 millimeters deep. From the rear perimeter of the mask 30 or 40 to the rearward most part of the reservoir 12 or 22 overlying the disk 51 or 61, being approximately the depth of the disk 51 or 61, the distance is approximately 4 millimeters. These dimensions are approximate and are based on use by an average adult. Plugs intended for use by infants or children may differ significantly, based on the criteria for dimensions herein given.
In operation, holding the plug with two fingers, it is inserted into the appropriate ear until, as seen in
Thus, it is apparent that there has been provided, in accordance with the invention, a disposable plug for warming the inner ear that fully satisfies the objects, aims and advantages set forth above. While the invention has been described in conjunction with specific embodiments thereof, it is evident that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art and in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, it is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations as fall within the spirit of the appended claims.
