Abstract: A system and method prevents and diagnoses deep vein thrombosis in a body limb by providing a pressure sleeve having a plurality of individually fillable cells, the pressure sleeve being configurable to be placed around a body limb. A source fills each fillable cell individually, and a pressure sensor measures a pressure in a fillable cell. A controller establishes a fill sequence of each individually fillable cell and a fill time for each individually fillable cell. The controller causes a first individually fillable cell of the pressure sleeve to be filled to a predetermined pressure and causes the pressure of first individually fillable cell of the pressure sleeve to be measured while a second individually fillable cell of the pressure sleeve is filled. The controller determines a presence of deep vein thrombosis in a body limb having the pressure sleeve therearound based upon a measured pressure change in the first individually fillable cell of the pressure sleeve.

Abstract: An electrical connector for facilitating disconnection from an electrical device by an operator includes an electrical cord and an electrical plug device attached to an end of the electrical cord and having a planar surface. The electrical plug device includes an electrical connector perpendicular to the planar surface of the electrical plug device and a disengagement member. The electrical cord is electrically connected to the electrical connector through the electrical plug device.
