This patent application has not been assigned to a company or institution. The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Anatomically, the upper gastrointestinal tract consists of the mouth, a portion of the throat, the esophagus, the stomach and the duodenum, the uppermost part of the small intestine. "The esophagus carries food, liquids, and saliva from the mouth to the stomach by coordinated contractions of its muscular lining. This process is automatic and people are usually not aware of it. Many people have felt their esophagus when they swallow something too large, try to eat too quickly, or drink very hot or very cold liquids. They then feel the movement of the food or drink down the esophagus into the stomach, which may be an uncomfortable sensation.
