Abstract: An electrical device includes a memory storing a value indicative the remaining available rated capacity of one or more batteries. The stored value is changed in use to reflect reducing capacity. The initial stored value is chosen so that there is a very high (e.g. >99.9%) confidence that the one or more batteries will provide at least the capacity indicated by the initial stored value. This reduces the chance of failure during emergency procedures. The one or more batteries may be integral to the electrical device. An override facility is provided.

Abstract: A method is disclosed, as well as a related input device and computer program product, for use with an input device having an input region at least partly overlapping with a display region of a display device. The method comprises determining an input occurring in the input region, and determining an obstructed region of the display region corresponding to the input. The obstructed region overlaps a displayed element in the display region. The method further comprises determining a relevance of the displayed element to a user interaction with the input device. The user interaction is determined using at least the input. The method further comprises modifying, using the determined relevance, the displayed element to be non-overlapping with the obstructed region.

Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and apparatus for facilitating sales, marketing, and order fulfillment between food industry manufacturers, distributors, and retailers. In particular, profiles of manufacturers, distributors, and retailers can be generated and these profiles can be analyzed to determine which retailers are ripe for promotional materials. Promotions can be created based on comparisons of manufacturer, distributor, and retailer profiles and the promotions can be transmitted via third-party servers. Retailers can then place orders via the third-party servers, and the third-party servers can then facilitate fulfillment of the orders with distributors.
