Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for wireless audio source switching. One of the methods includes receiving user input selecting a user interface control corresponding to one of a plurality of paired audio source devices with a wireless audio sink device that is a slave device of a first master/slave connection with a first paired audio source device of the plurality of paired audio source devices. The wireless audio sink device initiates a request to become a master device of a second master/slave connection with a second paired audio source device corresponding to the selected user interface control. The wireless audio sink device sends to the second paired audio source device a request to become a slave device of the second master/slave connection. The wireless audio sink device receives audio input from the second paired audio source device and outputs the received audio input.

Abstract: Medical tubes and methods of manufacturing medical tubes are disclosed, such as in positive airway pressure (PAP), respirator, anaesthesia, ventilator, and insufflation systems. The tube may be a composite structure made of two or more distinct components spirally wound to form an elongate tube. One of the components may be a spirally wound elongate hollow body, and the other component an elongate structural component spirally wound between turns of the spirally wound hollow body. Alternatively, the tube need not be made from distinct components. For instance, an elongate hollow body formed (e.g., extruded) from a single material may be spirally wound to form an elongate tube. The elongate hollow body itself may in transverse cross-section have a thin wall portion and a relatively thicker or more rigid reinforcement portion. The tubes can be incorporated into a variety of medical circuits or have other medical uses.

Each ear cup (105a, 105b) includes an ear cup enclosure (205a, 205b), an ear pad assembly (207a, 207b), a speaker system (805) and a hinge assembly (700). The hinge assembly (700) is disposed within the ear cup enclosure (205a, 205b) such that it is not visible from outside the ear cup (105a, 105b). The headband (110) assembly connects with each of the ear cups (105a, 105b) via the hinge assembly (700). The interface system (115) includes at least one interface and a plurality of input source buttons (202, 204, 206) disposed on at least one of the ear cups (105a, 105b). Each of the input source buttons (202, 204, 206) is configured for selecting a source of audio data received via the at least one interface.

Abstract: A tool, such as a level, including audio and/or visual indicators is provided. The level may include one or more bubble level vials having a controller and a sensor. The visual indicators are associated with the vials. The controller is configured to activate the audio and visual indicators in repose to a signal received from the sensor. The controller illuminates the visual indicators for each vial when that vial indicates it is level or plumb.
