PET HARNESS FOR MONITORING BODY TEMPERATURE AND PROVIDING COOLING OR HEATING

A harness for heating and/or cooling a wearer (e.g., a pet) of the harness includes an outer cover including a harness neck strap and a harness chest strap for securing the harness about the wearer of the harness, an internal surface having a breathable fabric material, at least one sensor attached to the harness chest strap, a thermal control device that cools or heats the wearer of the harness, a controller to activate the thermal control device, and straps arranged over an external surface of the outer cover.

Device for removing heat, energy, and/or fluid from a living mammal

The present invention provides improved devices for removing energy and fluid from body fluid containing spaces and surfaces of a mammal, the devices including isolated air and water delivery systems configured to simultaneously deliver streams of dry air and liquid water to the nostrils of a patient, without allowing the streams to come into contact with one-another until it enters the patient's nostrils.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR TREATING FLUID STASIS

Systems and methods for treating fluid stasis employ an airstream to move static fluid to one or more natural drainage areas for static fluid. A system for treating fluid stasis includes an airstream nozzle and an airflow generator for supplying an airflow to the airstream nozzle. The airflow nozzle is configured to output an airstream configured to be directed onto a patient to induce shear-thinning of static fluid and movement of static fluid toward one or more natural drainage areas for static fluid.

DEVICE FOR TREATMENT OF MIGRAINES

The present invention provides improved devices for removing energy and fluid from body fluid containing spaces and surfaces of a mammal, the devices including isolated air and water delivery systems configured to simultaneously deliver streams of dry air and liquid water to the nostrils of a patient, without allowing the streams to come into contact with one-another until it enters the patient's nostrils.

Cooling and Refrigeration Based on Vacuum-Driven Water Evaporation

Apparatus for cooling an object, space, or tissues of a patient. A vacuum chamber is designed to be placed in thermal contact with the object or space to be cooled, or against a patient to be treated. A water sprayer is configured to spray water into the vacuum chamber or against a cooling wall of the chamber. A vacuum pump and computer control are designed to maintain vacuum below ambient pressure in the vacuum chamber sufficient to cause accelerated evaporation of the water and cooling to a temperature desired for cooling of the object, space, or patient.
