Abstract: A medical device controller is provided that avoids unintended user inputs and unwanted medical device operation(s). A controller sends display commands to a graphical user interface (GUI) display to generate a first screen having a swipe field with no moving icons that prompts a user to initiate a designated operation by the medical device. When a valid swipe gesture is inputted, the controller generates a second screen with confirm button that requires a valid user press before the controller undertakes the designated operation, the controller generating and sending a command for the designated operation to the medical device when the controller determines that a valid user press has been inputted to the confirm button. The controller also sends commands to generate a status screen that transitions a rotating progress ring symbol and level indicator in accordance with a selected event to clearly indicate the status of medical device operations.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a privacy/security apparatus for a portable communication device that includes a housing assembly configured to at least partially attenuate at least one of sound energy, acoustic energy, and electromagnetic energy including light, optical, and IR energy and RF radiation from passing through the housing assembly. The housing assembly includes a Faraday cage with two or more portions, and at least one protective shell coupled to or forming at least one aperture. The at least one aperture is configured and arranged to at least partially enclose the portable communication device so that at least a portion of the portable communication device is positioned within at least one portion of the Faraday cage, and the at least one seal coupled or integrated with the protective shell. The housing assembly can be an articulating assembly, a sliding assembly, and can include an active acoustic jamming or passive acoustic attenuation element.
