  • Patent number: 9155168
    Abstract: A user wearable device may be implemented with a light source to provide illumination to an area of interest. In one example, the light source may be selectively operated by switches, physical displacement (e.g., movement) of the device, or other approaches. In another example, the device may be implemented as a wristwatch to display time, date, or related information to a user. In another example, the device may be implemented with appropriate processing or communication components to perform other tasks. In other embodiments, various methods of using, operating, or manufacturing such devices are provided.

  • Patent number: 7856746
    Abstract: A tag clip is disclosed having a first and second section, the second section having a channel therein for securing a tube or wire. The channel includes resilient support arms extending inward from the channel sides which flex inward upon the forced entry of a tube or wire into the channel. The clip first section folds over and is secured onto the clip second section, pushing the tube or wire into the channel, further flexing the resilient support arms inward with minimal deformation of the tube or cable therein. The equal and opposite forces provided by the first section contact with the tube and the resiliency of the flexible arms allow the tag to be secured to the tube or wire while at the same time allow for the tag to be moved into different positions along the length of the wire or tube. The tag has a rigid molded plastic member that provides the medical personnel or health care providers a substantially stiff or hard surface so that they can write legibly thereon.

  • Patent number: 6318938
    Abstract: An assembly and associated system for assuring that one or more freight or cargo carrying pallets are secured to a supporting surface in the cargo or storage area of an aircraft. The assembly including a plurality of spaced apart tracks fixedly mounted to the supporting surface, and disposed in underlying, supporting relation to the pallets. A plurality of locking assemblies, are provided and structured to removably but lockingly engage the tracks at strategic positions immediately adjacent peripheral portions of the pallets. Each of the locking assemblies are selectively oriented into a locked position which retains and lockingly secures the pallets in a preferred position relative to the plurality of tracks on which they are disposed.
