This product is a tampon that is placed in the ear canal of humans and animals and may be constructed of any (natural or artificial) water absorbents, with an integrated cord in a circular shape and perforated elastic cap. During the construction the circular shaped cord is placed in such a way that when you remove the tampon from the ear canal, it is unlikely for the cord to detach from the tampon. The main body (of the tampon) will consist of absorbent, hypoallergenic materials after previously having being compressed to reduce their volume just in exactly the same manner as the known vaginal tampons. The reason for the existence and construction of this product is to contribute to the prevention of otitis and / or to protect against relapse when the user is already suffering from the infection (otitis). The advantage of this invention is that this tampon will prevent ear infections and / or reduce relapse to a large extent, in a safe and healthy manner.

Method of insertion and welding of an emitter (4) in a drip irrigation pipe (1) during the manufacturing thereof. The emitters bear protrusions (5) with the possibility of cutting off of the protrusions and parts of the pipe which cover them, creating the water outlet openings. The emitters are inserted in a row into the interior of the pipe and preferably in a system of two vacuum baths with fix calibrators bearing slots and openings (11, 11a, 13, 27) for the swelling of the pipe, the welding of the emitter and its protrusions (5), occurred in three discrete phases, supported by an elastic wheel (14) : a) The protrusions (5) of the emitter insert in to the clearance (11,11a) between the two parallel bars (24) swelling the walls of the pipe. b) The emitter with the pipe moves horizontally compressed between the elastic wheel (14) and the internal rod (6,6a) and welds into the pipe. c) The pipe with the welded emitter passes, supported by the elastic wheel (14), through a longitudinal slot (27,13) where a bilateral compression exerts onto the swollen walls of the pipe.

The invention describes a new and simple method of construction of a stationary distillation unit and of a small portable distillation unit. The evaporation pans are made of simple materials and are covered with a transparent film. Additionally in the small portable unit its evaporation pan has a double bottom, which receives hot water. By connection of the evaporation pan with the solar collectors its productive ability significantly increases. The portable and stationary desalination units of the invention use solar power exclusively and simultaneously produce two products: distilled water and salt. The exploitation of solar radiation occurs both in the part of the unit covered by the transparent film as well as in the use of hot water produced by the solar collector connected to it, thus speeding up the evaporation of sea water. The transparent film, besides helping increase and hold the heat inside the production space, also protects the production space from pollutants in the environment, and as a result the products do not need further processing before being sent to consumption. Besides the fact that each unit can be used as an autonomous production unit of distilled water and salt, the units can also function as sub-units of a production line of an unlimited number of sub-units, where their combined use functions as a large production unit of distilled water and salt.

Gas grill grid suitable for fatty roasts (16). To prevent the dripping of liquefied fat (8) exuding from the roasts (16) towards the incandescent flame arresters (4) a grid is used (2) that leads the flow of the liquefied fat. The grid (2) consists of wavy inclined surfaces (13) which converge at the lowest points (14). Said points are aligned vertically and project over the gaps (7) between the flame arresters (4). The flow of the liquefied fat (8) with direction (10) along the inclined surfaces (13) accumulates at the lowest points (14) in the form of drops (9) in a vertical flow (1 1) which then pass through the gaps between the flame arresters (7) and finally drips into a fat collector pan (12).

A watertight handhole for the transit of cables in outdoor areas comprised of two cubic or other shaped units, one external and one internal, bonded together (monoblock), made of polyvinyl, cast iron, steel or stainless steel. The handhole of the present invention has one more unit than the known handholes in current use. Its external unit does not have a bottom floor and its sides are (partially) perforated for the removal of any water that may enter, protecting in this way the internal unit which houses the cables and the top of which closes with a flat plate that extends slightly beyond its main body. The bottom floor of the internal unit is conical and ends with a hole which is closed by a conical plug. Both the hole and the plug are threaded. The conical plug has a slot which allows it to be easily opened for the removal of water in the event the unit requires cleaning. The absence of flexible gaskets or metallic screws between the main bodies and plates of the units reduces the total cost of the handhole.

The tree planting system is characterized by the fact that under the layer of soil (11), in which plant (10) is planted, we place tank (12), which is non water pelmeable, non air permeable and filled with inert, expanded material (13), featuring small granulometry and a large friction coefficient, hydroscopic inside the void space in which the excess irrigation water or rainwater (14) is stored, and which water is propelled to soil (11) via inert, expanded material (13), due to its hydroscopic capacity, in which soil (11) plant (10) is planted, when its moisture is reduced, because it's being utilized by plant (10), or when moisture is partially lost into the atmosphere and due to that when applied to arid areas a hydroscopic, water permeable, air permeable geotextile (28) is placed between the inert, expanded material (13) and soil (11), and so as to prevent sand from falling into inert material (13), thermally-insulated, non water permeable, non air permeable surface (34) is placed as well, which prevents moisture (24) which is located under it from escaping into the atmosphere, and which keeps temperature stable at the root system's area; tube network system (29) and (30) is also installed, offering underground irrigation which disperses irrigation water into tank (12). All the while, irrigation water (31) is being produced via the concentration of atmospheric moisture with the assistance of solar energy.
