Foot spa tub pump and method
A foot spa tub includes a tub basin, a first magnetic drive member rotatably coupled to a drive motor, and a first casing supporting the magnetic drive member. The first casing is disposed against an exterior surface of a sidewall of the basin. A second magnetic drive member is rotatably coupled to a blade. The first and second magnetic drive members are magnetically coupled to each other so that the blade is drivingly coupled to the drive motor. A nozzle houses the second magnetic drive member and the blade. The nozzle is detachably securable to an interior surface of the sidewall by a magnetic attraction force between the first and second magnetic drive members. A method of circulating liquid in a foot tub spa is also provided.
Modifying humidity and convection to glabrous tissue to control metabolism
Systems and methods for affecting metabolism, such as the treatment of metabolic syndrome are disclosed. A method for treating metabolic syndrome can include one or more of the steps including identifying a region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue; positioning the region of the patient comprising glabrous tissue into an enclosed chamber; adjusting the relative humidity of the enclosed chamber sufficient to create a physiologic metabolic effect; and activating a convection fan within the chamber to promote heat transfer from the glabrous tissue. The method need not involve altering the temperature within the enclosed chamber.

Toilet with urine diversion and method for waste reuse
The present disclosure includes an improved toilet and a system of using the improved toilet. The toilet can be configured to separate urine from solid waste, and further to separate solid waste according to size. The toilet can also comprise a personal cleansing system to clean a user's anus following use of the toilet. The present also discloses a method of maintaining the toilet and a method for removing the separated waste for re-use as a combustible fuel and fertilizer.
Treatment method and apparatus with a system for controlling the flow of the gaseous medium
The invention relates to a treatment apparatus comprising an envelope that can be placed on or around a body part of a person such that the envelope has a positioning area (Z) for said body part of the person, the envelope being provided with an inlet (8) for a gaseous medium and an outlet for discharging the gaseous medium present in the envelope. According to the invention, the apparatus comprises a control system (11) for controlling the flow of the gaseous medium in order to direct the gaseous medium entering the envelope via the inlet (8) outside the positioning area (Z), and to homogenise the gaseous medium present in the envelope.

METHOD OF ADMINISTERING NANOPARTICLES THROUGH FEET
A therapeutic nanoparticle diffusion system includes at least one rubber bootie; a foot bath; and a nanoparticle composition. The rubber bootie is adapted to accommodate a user's foot and the nanoparticle composition. The foot bath has a predetermined height, a vibrational base, and a heating element attached. A therapeutic method of administering nanoparticles includes providing the bootie and the foot bath; adding water to the foot bath; donning the bootie; resting the foot and the bootie in the foot bath; adding a nanoparticle composition to the bootie; activating the heating element and the vibration element; resting the subject's foot in the nanoparticle composition; doffing and emptying the bootie into the foot bath; and soaking the subject's foot in the foot bath. The temperatures and times are predetermined.
