Abstract: Examples of the present disclosure describe systems and methods for implementing an external module comprising new and/or offloaded processing functionality. In aspects, an external module may be configured to be selectively and communicatively coupled to an information appliance device. The external module may be configured with or receive hardware, software, data and/or instructions for processing content and operations received by the information appliance device. When operations are received by the information appliance device, the information appliance device may parse the operations into commands to be performed by the information appliance device and commands to be performed by the external module.

The external module may then process and/or perform the received commands and render the resulting content to a display device.

Abstract: A cutting edge of a punch includes side segments and a central segment disposed between the side segments. When the punch head slides into a hollow blade, the central segment of the cutting edge meets the punch head before the side segments meet the punch head. The central segment starts cutting first, which can help avoid a dog-bone shaped hole when the punch is used on a blood vessel, such as the aorta.

Abstract: Techniques for obfuscating user selections during user-input of sensitive information, involving displaying targets, such as keys of a virtual keyboard, on a display device, where each target corresponds to one of multiple options. A visual indication for a current user target can move to a first target in response to a first input event at a first time, and the first target can be actuated in response to a second input event for actuation of the current user target at a second time. An obfuscation system is configured to present to a user, at approximately the second time, a discriminatory signal used to confirm actuation of a target. The discriminatory signal includes one of a haptic signal generated by a device in physical contact with the user, an audio signal, and a modified image.
