Title: Sexually stimulating apparatus
Inventor: DAVID MALCOLM STAPLETON
IPC: A61H21/00
Filed: 2018-05-03
Abstract: A sexually stimulating apparatus 100 has an anal stimulating portion 150 that retains a first stimulating device 151, preferably a dildo or vibrator, for insertion into the anus of a user, and a genital stimulating portion 160 that retains a second stimulating device 161 arranged to contact genitals of the user.

Title: Aircraft cable routing system and method of installation thereof
Inventor: PAUL O'SHAUGHNESSY
IPC: H02G3/04
Filed: 2018-06-29
Abstract: A cable routing system comprises a dielectric, or insulating, liner 4 which is installed within a cable routing channel, or raceway, 2 to subdivide the channel into at least two secondary channels. This can achieve more efficient use of space and enable more flexible placement of cables within the channels while meeting safety requirements. A hook (16, Fig 1B) on the liner may engage a lip (14, Fig 1B) on the raceway. Installation of cables into the channel can include inserting the cables into the dielectric liner before the installation of the dielectric liner into the cable routing channel. The liner may be formed of two parts (18, 20, Fig 2) which cooperate to form a closed secondary channel. The secondary channels may be longer than the primary one and so span from one raceway to another. The cable routing system can be used in an aircraft, including within space-constrained areas of the aircraft such as inside a wing.
