The present invention is a sling system utilizing a rear sling fitting for a long firearm, such as a rifle. Such fittings typically are positioned between the stock and receiver. It presents a fitting body with an aperture to slide over a rifle receiver tube and a connection bar extending from a reverse of the fitting body. A point-type sling attachment may then be attached to the connection bar and be able to slide left and right across the back of the weapon, allowing for quickly adaptable left or right positioning of the weapon. Registration geometry may be added and positioned to further allow interface with weapon geometry and prevent rotation of the fitting during use. The connection bar may be positioned on another component of the weapon, such as the receiver or the stock, should the weapon not have a receiver extension tube. A convertible sling and forward sling mount are also disclosed for cooperative use with the fitting, completing the system.

The invention relates to a robotic surgical instrument arm and a minimally-invasive surgical robot applicable to various hole numbers. A transmission device of the robotic surgical instrument arm anda flexible arm are in transmission through a wire rope, and the flexible arm is provided with a force sensor which is used for sensing stress of an executing end; due to multiple-degree-of-freedom arranging of the flexible arm, the flexibility is improved; due to configuration layout design of the transmission device, a driving device and the flexible arm, a surgical operation incision in dual-hole and multi-hole combinations can be smaller, and a surgical operation is more minimally-invasive; the minimally-invasive surgical robot applicable to various hole numbers can be assembled into single-hole, dual-hole and multi-hole minimally-invasive surgical robots according to clinical requirements; and the quantity of adaptive diseases is large, the coverage is extensive, and the hole numbers and a branch quantity are changed flexibly. Through multiple-degree-of-freedom motion of the flexible arm, an endoscope and an end operating appliance can achieve omni-bearing poses in space, the fieldof view of the surgical operation is enlarged, and blind areas are avoided. The quantity of degrees of freedom of an in-vitro mechanical arm is greater than 6, bedside deployment is facilitated, anda remote motion center point can be relatively easily formed and is free of interference with human bodies.

A far infrared (“FIR”) sauna cabin equipped with a far infrared (“FIR”) heating elements constructed of ceramic, carbon, and/or light emitting diodes (“LED”), designed for therapeutic use in a sauna, capable of emitting far infrared energy, and heating an individual's skin for purposes of rejuvenation, anti-aging, weight loss, and acne therapy. The FIR heating element emits IR energy in a wavelength and frequency optimum for resonant absorption by the human body, resulting in the release of toxins stored within subcutaneous fatty deposits, which are then carried out of the person's system as he or she sweats. The FIR sauna is operated by a system comprising a local control system and a remote computer running access control software. A user account is configured containing a user's allowed privileges. When a user swipes an access card, the remote computer verifies the requested privilege. If allowed, the local system energizes the sauna system.
