Abstract: An alarm for digital storage discs includes an alarm module positioned within the central indention found in conventional CD and DVD jewel cases. A lid sensor in communication with the alarm module includes a pair of spaced trigger arms that form an ovate opening. A nodule on the uppermost arm engages the jewel case lid to maintain engagement of electrical contacts on the arms. An arming switch includes a magnetically-operated pin that is extended into the opening formed between the triggers to prevent the contacts from separating. Once the jewel case is sealed, an arming station initially retracts the pin while the case lid firmly engages the nodule to maintain the contacts in engagement. If an unauthorized user opens the jewel case without first extending the pin at the arming station, the triggers will automatically separate thereby activating the alarm.

Abstract: A protective suit is disclosed which comprises an external pocket that is adapted to receive and releasably retain at least one decontamination product, such as a wipe in a sealed envelope, and to avoid collecting any liquid such as a wash liquid that may be used to decontaminate the suit. The external pocket is configured such that the opening of the pocket is pointing directly down, or at an angle that is less than about horizontal, when the person wearing the suit stands on a generally horizontal surface.
