Abstract: A contamination control system of an electronic device includes a touch-based surface, an ultraviolet (UV) light source operable to shine on the touch-based surface, a detection module, and a control module. The detection module detects a first event indicating that a user has interacted with the touch-based surface, sends a first indication based upon the first event, detects a second event indicating that a user is done interacting with the touch-based surface, and sends a second indication based upon the second event. The control module receives the first indication and the second indication from the detection module and turns on the UV light source to decontaminate the touch-based surface in response to the first indication and the second indication.

Abstract: A portable dock and power adapter system includes a dock member having a power adapter member coupling, a plurality of IHS component connectors, and a dock plug that is electrically coupled to the plurality of IHS component connectors and extends from the dock member. The portable dock and power adapter system also includes power adapter member including a dock member coupling and a power adapter plug that is electrically coupled to the dock plug and that extends from the power adapter member. A connecting member extends between the power adapter member and the dock member. The connecting member is operable to orient the power adapter member and the dock member such that the dock member coupling is spaced apart from the power adapter member coupling. The connecting member is also operable to orient the power adapter member and the dock member such that the dock member coupling engages the power adapter member coupling.

Abstract: This invention relates to a catheter having an improved tape down wing. This wing is oval and has a length to width ratio of between about 1:1 to about 1:3. In addition, the wing has a flat bottom with a domed cross-section. The ratio of the cross-sectional thickness, edge to center, is between about 1:1.5 to about 1:4.

Abstract: A self-healing seal is provided which is particularly adaptable for use in medical applications. The seal includes a housing which defines an interior volume. The housing is formed of a rigid or semi-rigid material such as a rubber or other elastomeric material. A viscous flowable material is disposed within, and substantially fills, the interior chamber of the housing. The viscous flowable material is typically a gel, such as silicone gel. The self-healing seal is configured such that if it is penetrated by an object such as a hypodermic needle, when the needle is subsequently removed, the viscous flowable material flows in such a manner as to fill the space previously occupied by the penetrating object. At the same time the housing is sufficiently elastic to maintain the viscous material within the interior volume of the housing. In this manner a liquid impermeable seal is formed.
