Title: Determining pH of Human Skin
Inventor: ELAD MAGAL
IPC: A61B5/145
Filed: 2022-03-13
Abstract: A device suitable for assisting in determining the pH of the surface of human skin, comprises a body 12 having an upper surface 14 and a lower contact face 16. The lower contact face includes at least a portion of a pH indicator patch 18. Inside the body there is a volume 20 containing an activation liquid so that when the activation liquid wets the surface 26 of human skin and a surface of the pH indicator patch while the lower contact face makes intimate contact with the surface of the skin, the activation liquid allows material from the surface of the skin to interact with a pH indicator component present in the pH indicator patch, thereby allowing the pH indicator patch to indicate a pH of the surface of the skin. The pH indicator patch may be a colorometric indicator patch. The body may be collapsible by manual pressure applied to the upper surface, such that said collapsing leads to expulsion of the activation liquid.

Title: Platform for acrobatic exercises
Inventor: MARKAKIS GEORGIOS
IPC: A63B6/00
Filed: 1989-04-26
Abstract: The Acrobatic Beam for Artistic and Acrobatic Gymnastics Fig. 2 includes twenty partial surfaces, each measuring 1.22 x 2.00 x 17 cm, assembled and connected together. The top surface of each is covered with foamed material, and the entire beam, is then covered with carpeting. The structure of the partial surfaces constitutes an originality. The combination of materials, their configuration and elasticity attributes give the acrobatic beam exceptional potential, offering outstanding qualities to athletes in many categories relative to their weight and the difficulty of the exercises. Functioning of the acrobatic beam can be seen in two phases. The 1st phase is landing. The 2nd phase is launching. Functions of these phases are the following: When the athlete jumps with momentum onto one of the partial surfaces of the beam, Fig. 2(c), the first contact of the athlete's feet, according to weight and force of landing and the components of the beam, start to function in the following way: 1st phase a) Immediately upon contact of the feet, the carpet and foamed material recede, Fig 2 (a), achieving absorption of vibrations. b) Subsequently, the marine grade plywood also recedes Fig 3 (b), according to the modulus of elasticity of the material and pressure exerted on the beam by the weight of the athlete. c) At the end of the receding phase of the plywood and springs, resulting from the athlete's speed of descent onto it, there is a small momentary recession of components caused by impulsive force exerted by the athlete's feet for the jump. The 2nd phase: During the launching phase, reactive forces of the parts come into play (marine grade plywood, springs and foamed material), which tend to restore the components to their original positions. These forces, together with the propulsion force (thrust) of the athlete, give momentum for carrying out the exercise.
