This invention discloses methods, kits, and instructions to treat neovasculature diseases of the eye through the administration of a targeted photosensitizing agent and subsequent exposure to light of specific wavelength sufficient to photoactivate photosensitizing agent. The photosensitizing agent is bound to a composition that mediates site specific delivery to a neovasculature target tissue of a therapeutically effective amount of a photosensitizing agent that is activated by a relatively low fluence rate of light over a prolonged period of time. Diseases treatable under this invention, include: diabetic retinopathy; macular degeneration; and malignant uveal melanomas.

A system and method of aligning an antenna with a predetermined azimuth direction. The method includes determining an antenna azimuth direction and moving the antenna from the antenna azimuth direction towards a predetermined azimuth direction so as to align said antenna. This is accomplished in response to processed positioning data received by a global positioning system (GPS) receiver dish from a GPS system where the receiver dish is locatable at predetermined first and second positions away from the antenna. The system includes at least two reference targets affixed to the antenna, a reference tool operatively coupled to the targets, and a GPS receiver dish connected to the reference tool. The receiver dish is in communication with a GPS system for processing positioning data received therefrom to determine an antenna azimuth direction of the antenna and thereby enable alignment of said antenna by moving the antenna with a predetermined azimuth direction.

A deburring tool includes a blade having a cutting head portion, an anchor portion, and a retention spring. An arbor is adapted to removably mount the blade such that the head portion of the blade is adapted to be elevated a predetermined distance from the arbor in an unstressed condition of the blade. The blade is sufficiently resiliently yieldable such that the head portion of the blade can move inwardly relative to the arbor during deburring operations. A holder is adapted to mount the arbor and an adjustment member adapted to operatively engage the anchor portion of the blade. The anchor portion of the blade is adapted to move in response to adjustment of the adjustment member in a direction substantially opposite that of the head portion and flex to elevate the head portion relative to the arbor for deburring operations or recess the head portion relative to the arbor.

A tension member monitoring device is provided with at least one contact sensor (21) and a defect determining device (20). The contact sensor (21), which is arranged next to a corresponding tension member (3) without touching the tension member (3), is configured to output a contact signal when contacted. The defect determining device (20), which receives the contact signal, is configured to determine whether there is a defect in the tension member (3), based on the contact signal.

An adapting device for attaching a strap, with an aperture, loop, ring or similar opening at or near the end, to a combination end pin / electrical output jack or other attachment point on the object, and a retaining device to secure the strap and adapting device thereon. The adapting device being of a flexible, semi-flexible, semi-rigid or rigid material folded (or formed) over upon itself with apertures of suitable size to fit over the combination end pin / electrical output jack or other attachment point. The adapting device is secured through the aperture, loop, ring or other opening at or near the end of the strap. The retaining device being a flat, flexible, semi-flexible, or semi-rigid material with a slotted opening suitable to engage the combination end pin / electrical output jack or other attachment point on the object with the adapting device or a properly fitting strap situated and held between the object and the retaining device.

A skin resurfacing device for peeling the outermost layer of the skin for renewing the skin surface and repairing skin damage including a housing, a skin sensor, and a skin treater. The skin treater consists of an abrasive tip, a first end, a transparent portion, a first filter, and a second end, all of which are detachable and replaceable. The skin treater is connected to a vacuum source by a tubular hose. The vacuum provides both closeness of contact between the abrasive tip and the user's skin and the suctioning of skin debris peeled off. The skin treater, especially the abrasive tip are made with common material and mass production process so that they are disposable and economic.

A fitted tablecloth liner is disclosed with an elastic strip sewn to the outside edge of said liner, allowing said liner to be applied over any table of standard size or shape and to fit snugly to any such table. Said tablecloth liner includes an orientation symbol on the underside which illustrates which side is the longer side to facilitate use when applying said tablecloth liner to differently shaped tables. Said fitted tablecloth liner allows a person to select and use a variety of tablecloths without concern that the tablecloth will slip out of the preferred position. Further, the tablecloth liner helps protect the table from stains and damage such as scratches.
