In one embodiment of the invention, a cervical implant may include a spinous process base coupled to a lateral mass base. A removable resilient membrane is attached to the first member forming an inflatable component for holding the object to be examined between the inflatable component and the base support. The quantity of virtual activity can be different from the quantity of real-world activity. In another embodiment, objects may be obtained by bonding functionally-specific agents to groups of nanotubes, enabling them to form into structures. The lower seat base would also have simple control switches as well as a disposal tray for removing dirt and debris collected during vacuuming.
