Abstract: Disclosed herein are several embodiments of a negative pressure appliance and methods of using the same in the treatment of wounds. Some embodiments are directed to improved fluidic connectors or suction adapters for connecting to a wound site, for example using softer, kink-free conformable suction adapters.

Abstract: Leak location devices and methods of using leak location devices that can be used in conjunction with negative pressure wound therapy systems are disclosed. In some embodiments, a leak location device can include a microphone for detecting sound pressure produced by a leak. Detected sound pressure can be compared to a threshold, which can correspond to background or ambient sound pressure. Background or ambient sound pressure can correspond to sound produced by a negative pressure source. The leak detection device can include a display configured to visually depict the detected sound, and a light source which creates a visual depiction of the coverage angle of the microphone.

Abstract: A pilot headset and system for automatically generating turbulence reports is provided. The turbulence reporting pilot headset includes a headset body having a motion sensor positioned therein that is adapted to collect motion data representative of changes in motion experienced by the headset body, and a motion data correlation module which is programmed, structured and/or configured to correlate the collected motion data to turbulence level data.

Abstract: A microphone pivot device of a headphone comprises at least one magnet in communication with a movable microphone, the at least one magnet having a plurality of segments, each segment having a magnet characteristic; a sensor that detects a magnet characteristic of a magnet segment when the segment is moved in response to a movement of the microphone so that the segment is in proximity of the sensor; and a controller that receives a signal from the sensor in response to the detected magnet characteristic, and that controls an operation of the microphone in response to the received signal.

Abstract: A stabilized headband includes a headband having two ends with an arcuate section extending between the ends. The headband further includes a pair of pads with each pad having a contoured surface to engage a head in a contact region where the head has a contour that is similar to the contoured surface. The pads may include a compliant member to improve contact with the head. Each pad is pivotably coupled to the headband proximate to one of the ends at a location that is behind the arcuate section when the headband is worn on the head to improve fit, stability and comfort. The arcuate section defines a headband plane which is at a non-zero angle with respect to a vertical plane when the headband is worn on the head.
