  • Publication number: 20250227410
    Abstract: A communication assembly of a medical system includes a cover plate and a circuit board spatially separated from the cover plate by a gap. One or more point light sources and a plurality of microphone sets are electrically coupled to the circuit board and disposed between the circuit board and the cover plate. A light guide is disposed at least partially between the circuit board and the cover plate and provides at least one light path within the gap to direct and diffuse light. A plurality of gaskets define an audio passageway extending across the gap from a first seal that seals to a microphone of one of the microphone sets to a second seal that seals around an audio opening defined in the cover plate.

  • Publication number: 20250202938
    Abstract: Computer-executed methods for training users to discern electronic phishing messages to reduce risk of threats to the integrity of computing systems and/or computing resources. In some embodiments, the methods involve gamifying the training to motivate users to participate in the training. In some embodiments, gamification includes instructing electronic-messaging-system users to forward suspected phishing messages for analysis. The analysis may include automatically determining one or more of a variety of factors for each forwarded suspected phishing message, such as whether or not the suspected phishing message is an actual phishing message, whether or not the reporting is an original reporting, and how quickly the user made the report. In some embodiments, points are awarded based on the analyzed factors. In some embodiments, the methods involve building phishing knowledgebases for automatic electronic-message filtering. Software for performing disclosed methods or one or more portions thereof.
