Abstract: The present disclosure describes, among other things, a device. The device includes a plurality of sensors, an output system, a processor coupled to the plurality of sensors and the output system, and a memory. The memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to receive a signal from the plurality of sensors, interpret the signal as a first Braille cell, and send a signal corresponding to the first Braille cell to the output system.

Abstract: Microwave safe accessories heat up without melting or burning the user and will use conduction to keep food and liquids hot/warm. Specifically, the disclosure relates to a thermoplastic elastomer that includes microwave activated materials (such as graphite or carbon black). The thermoplastic elastomer can include an overmold, which can be inert (e.g. Santoprene, TipSiv, or the like) or can also be combined with microwave activated materials.

Abstract: A heated roller massager is disclosed, including a heating core and a multilayer structure including a conductive infused polymeric layer for delivering a therapeutic level of heat to a user.

Abstract: Lancet device includes a housing, a trigger, a system for placing the lancet device in a trigger-set or armed position. A plurality of lancets arranged one in front of the other and positioned in the housing. Each lancet has a front end, a needle which extends from the front end, and a rear end. The front end of at least one of the plurality lancets is removably connected to the rear end of another of the plurality of lancets.

Abstract: A lancet device includes a housing, a trigger, a system for placing the lancet device in a trigger-set or armed position, and a multi-lancet unit comprising a plurality of lancets arranged one in front of the other and positioned in the housing. Each lancet includes a front end, a needle which extends from the front end, and a rear end. The front end of at least one of the plurality lancets is removably connected to the rear end of another of the plurality of lancets. A method of puncturing a surface of skin using the lancet device includes arranging the lancet device adjacent against a user's skin and triggering the lancet device so that one of the plurality of lancet is caused to penetrate the user's skin.

Abstract: Lancet device includes a magnet member, a sleeve member capable of being affected by magnetic forces emanating from the magnet member, and a movable lancet holder. At least one of the following is also utilized; a lancet releaser movable at least between an initial position and a position that allows a lancet to be removed from the lancet holder and a lancet holder lock movable at least between a lock position that prevents axial movement of the lancet holder along an axial direction and an unlock position that allows the lancet holder to move along the axial direction.

Abstract: A cartridge for a device includes a generally cylindrical cartridge body. A plurality of generally axially movably mounted lancets or lancet needles are included. A plurality of biasing members are utilized with each being adapted to apply a biasing force to one of the lancets or lancet needles. A lancet device includes a housing comprising a trigger and a generally cylindrically-shaped cartridge comprising a plurality of lancet needles and a plurality of springs and being adapted to rotate between different positions.

Abstract: Mechanical braille writer. The braille writer includes a chassis supporting a plurality of finger operated keys with each key mechanically interconnected with an embossing mechanism so that depression of a key causes a corresponding one of a plurality of pins in the embossing mechanism to extend outwardly from the embossing mechanism to create a raised dot on paper adjacent to the embossing mechanism. The embossing mechanism comprises a block adapted for slidingly guiding the plurality of pins for paper contact. It is preferred that each one of the plurality of pins is straight and identical to the other pins.
