Abstract: A draw alerting weapon holstering device for reducing weapon confusion includes a holster into which a weapon is insertable. The holster can be engaged either to a user or to an article that is engaged to the user. A housing is selectively engageable to or is integral to the holster. A detector, a speaker, a vibrator, and a microprocessor are engaged to the housing, with the latter two being positioned in the housing. A battery is selectively engageable to the housing. The detector can detect a weapon that is positioned in the holster. The microprocessor is operationally engaged to the battery and is communicatively engaged to the vibrator, the speaker, and the detector. The detector signals the microprocessor upon drawing of the weapon from the holster, whereupon the microprocessor selectively signals the speaker and the vibrator to broadcast an audible alert and to initiate a vibratory alert, respectively.

Abstract: A load suspension and weighing system for a removable reservoir unit of a portable dialysis machine includes a centrally located flexure assembly. The flexure assembly includes magnets and a number of flexure rings which allow for movement of the magnets about a fixed circuit board. Sensors in the circuit board sense changes in the magnetic field as the magnets move in relation to the circuit board. The magnetic field changes produce a voltage output which is used by a processor to generate weight calculations. The top of the flexure assembly is attached to the interior of the dialysis machine. The entirety of the reservoir unit is suspended by a first internal frame that is attached to the bottom of the flexure assembly. Having a single flexure assembly positioned above the reservoir unit provides more accurate weight measurements while also preventing damage to the assembly from water spillage.
