Abstract: A long gun stabilization kit for use with a body armor vest, including a vest clip and a butt end portion. The vest clip includes a clip body and a ball, and has vest attachment means for attaching to the body armor vest. The vest clip is characterized by a vest interface plane having a normal, and the ball is connected to the clip body by a projection extending from the clip body at an angle that is downward, and left or right relative to the normal. The butt end portion has a socket shaped to receive the ball and permit rotation about at least one axis. Body armor may comprise a vest clip connected to a body armor vest. A long gun may have a barrel, and a stock having a butt end, a portion of the butt end having a socket of fixed geometry.

Abstract: The connector between the patient electrode pads and the base unit of an automatic external defibrillator (AED) system can be formed by capturing a printed circuit board (PCB) within a connector housing. The PCB can have conductive metal traces that serve as the contact points between the wires from the patient electrodes and the electronics within the AED base unit. The PCB in combination with the conductive metal traces can be shaped similar to a conventional two-prong or two-blade connector. Employing such a PCB-based connector may result in AED pads which are less complex and less costly to manufacture. The PCB can also support a configuration circuit that is positioned between the conductive metal traces and that allows the AED to read and store information about the attached pads. For example, the AED can use this data storage feature to check the expiration date of the pads.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a system for determining a risk rating associated with a subject to support a person-to-person transaction. The system includes a profile device in communication with a database that includes personal information and history information associated with the subject. The profile device includes a profile engine stored on a computer-readable medium. The profile engine can access the personal information to authenticate the subject and access the history information to generate a risk rating for the subject. The risk rating is generated by scoring the history information using pre-set criteria. The profile engine can output the risk rating to a reviewer identified by the subject.

Abstract: An external defibrillator enclosure for use in conjunction with a defibrillator accessory, such as an electrode pad assembly, includes a front panel and a rear panel which are mated together and secured by a coupling means. The enclosure also includes a plate secured by a coupling means to the second panel. The plate and second panel are positioned relative to each other to form a slot that is sized to receive a portion of the electrode assembly. The enclosure also includes a connector port that allows for the electrode pad assembly to be pre-connected to the electronics within the enclosure. The electrode pad assembly includes a cable and a connector at the end of the cable, and the exterior face of enclosure rear panel includes a groove that is sized to receive and retain the cable. The groove holds the cable in place against the surface of the enclosure while the cable is connected to the connector port.

Abstract: A mouse provides multiple cursor control input devices. A first input device is a tracking ball. The second input device may be a tracking ball, a finger pad, or a joy stick, among other input devices. The second input device provides a secondary control of cursor movement that is combined with the input of the first input device to provide full cursor control. In one embodiment, the second input is scaled by a scaling factor and then combined with the first input. In another embodiment, both the first input and the second input are scaled before they are combined. In another mouse, a single input is provided that is scaled by one of a plurality of scaling factors. The scaling factor may be altered to another one of the plurality of scaling factors via mouse input, for example a button input.
