Abstract: Techniques are provided for managing power to various devices within a suite or room, such as an operating room. In an example, an apparatus can include a first input configured to couple to a system controller of an operating room, multiple outputs configured couple to control inputs of one or more power relays, and a controller configured to control the one or more power relays via the multiple outputs in response to a power status of the system controller. The first input can be indicative of the power status of the system controller. Each power relay of the one or more power relays can be configured to selectively connect power to medical equipment of the operating room.

Abstract: A tactical illumination device comprises an optically transparent and impact resistant housing, one or more high intensity light sources positioned within the housing, and a controller positioned within the housing, the controller being arranged and programmed to direct the light sources to emit light according to one or more modes after being thrown by a user against a hard surface.

Abstract: A data processing assembly includes one or more hosts connected to one or more I/O Expansion Drawers. Assignment state information is stored on the Expansion Drawer to convey the assignment state of Expansion Drawer(s) resources to the hosts. The host retrieves the assignment state and, from it, determines, for each Expansion Buss cable connected to the host, the number of Expansion Cards in the Expansion Drawer to configure. A change in the number of Expansion Cards in the expansion apparatus may necessitate a change in the assignment state, which can be electronically accommodated (as opposed to a manual reconfiguration). Similarly, a failure of an Expansion Buss cable is addressed by electronically reassigning resources to another host or to the same host over a different Expansion Buss cable without the need for further manual intervention. The assembly is capable of verifying correct cable connection between a host and the Expansion Drawer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a packaging device for securely holding and storing a plurality of discs, comprising a base, and an elongated spindle centrally situated on the base and projecting from the top side of the base in a substantially perpendicular orientation to the base, wherein the spindle is configured to receive and secure a plurality of discs to the base. The packaging device further comprises a removable, substantially circular protective endplate having a central opening for engaging with the top portion of the spindle, the endplate being disposed atop the plurality of discs to protect and secure the plurality of discs to the spindle and base.

Abstract: The exercise apparatus of the invention possesses a small footprint, thus enabling its assembly in a relatively small space. It provides in a single unitary apparatus cooperative components that enable at least 325 different positions of exercise. The apparatus includes a rigid metal frame having a box-like quadrilateral rear section detachably secured to a generally triangular front section that provides a pair of rearwardly inclined support bars on which are adjustably mounted holding elements for supporting components such as barbells. Between the quadrilateral rear section and the triangular front section, is a vertical beam having a multiplicity of vertically spaced mounting apertures, the beam functioning to support an adjustable pulley assembly from which eminates a flexible pull cable. By vertical adjustment of the pulley assembly, the pull cable may be elevated or lowered to change the angle at which a force load is imposed on the muscles of an individual using the apparatus.
