Abstract: An inflatable bladder positioned a distance from a joint is attached to an external structural support which crosses the joint but does not support it. By inflating the bladder one limb segment is forced towards the external support thereby increasing the range of motion of that joint. Further, the inflatable bladder has an instant release valve which, when pressed, will instantly release the pressure within the bladder. The limb is positioned intermediate the bladder and the external structural support for optimal biomechanical efficiency.

Abstract: An improved web material dispenser that is designed to dispense web material, stich as toilet tissue or the like. The dispenser is able to retai n a roll containing tissue at a dispensing position until the tissue has been exhaust ed from the roll. The dispenser senses that the tissue is exhausted from the roll, a nd only then permits a reserve roll to be rotated into a dispensing position. Thus, the dispenser ensures that the tissue from each roll is used up before permittin g access to a reserve roll. The invention also provides a new web material roll that utilizes a "double core", as well as a method of making the "double core".

Abstract: A perforating gun and one or more volume-receiving surge canisters can be actuated at a time delay after perforation for creating a dynamic underbalance condition to aid in directing debris out of the perforations and fractures and into the wellbore. A timer and triggering device actuate one or more canisters in parallel or series after a pre-determined time delay or delays which can be related to wellbore conditions following perforation. Use of propellant- type perforating gun further benefits from favorable propellant bum conditions for forming perforations and followed thereafter by a perforation-cleaning underbalance pressure conditions characterized by one or more of an increased rate of change depression of the pressure in the adjacent annulus, a greater magnitude of pressure depression and a longer duration of underbalance.
