Abstract: A head-mounted device may have a head-mounted housing containing rear-facing displays that display images for a user when the head-mounted housing is worn by the user. The head-mounted housing may be coupled to the user's head using a headband. The headband may include a first headband portion and a second headband portion that extends from the first headband portion at a fixed angle. Stiffeners may be included in the first and second headband portions. The stiffeners may be formed from braided cords and may be embedded in the first and second headband portions to allow the headband to conform to a user's head when worn. Other stiffeners may be mounted to a surface of the headband to maintain an angle between the first and second headband portions. The ends of the headband may have curved corners, and may appear seamless to the naked eye.

Abstract: A hemodialysis system including one or more ultraviolet chambers is disclosed. The hemodialysis system including a dialyzer arranged and configured to filter a patient's blood, a hemodialysis machine arranged and configured to pump, move, or the like dialysate through the dialyzer, the hemodialysis machine including an outlet valve and an outlet fluid flow path to pump or move dialysate from the hemodialysis machine to the dialyzer, and an inlet valve and an inlet fluid flow path to pump or receive dialysate from the dialyzer, and one or more ultraviolet chambers arranged and configured to kill bacteria, viruses, or a combination thereof. Thus arranged, by incorporating one or more ultraviolet chambers in strategic areas of the system, the ultraviolet chambers may eliminate, or at least greatly reduce, the possibility of cross-contamination in, for example, the dialysate, and thus eliminate the need for disinfecting the system between treatments.
