Abstract: A portable power source and control device for a mobile phone or tablet is releasably attachable to a user's key ring or key chain and sized to be carried in a pocket or purse. The device has an internal rechargeable battery to provide emergency power for operating the user's phone, USB connectors for connection a power source and the phone, an internal microcontroller, and a Bluetooth® wireless communicator. A user actuator generated a locator command causes the phone to ring to indicate its location; and a locator command from the phone causes the device to emit a sound to indicate the device's location. The device can determine and indicate via LEDs the charge level of the battery, and has flash memory for data storage and transfer between devices.

Abstract: A port blocker assembly for a port on an electronic device includes a body and a first lock finger movably coupled to the body. The first lock finger is configured to be inserted into the port. The port blocker assembly also includes a second lock finger movably coupled to the body. The second lock finger is configured to be inserted into the port. The port blocker assembly further includes a wedge positioned between the first and second lock fingers and movably coupled to the body. The wedge is movable between a first position, in which the first and second lock fingers are disengaged from the port, and a second position, in which the first and second lock fingers engage the port. The port blocker assembly also includes an actuator coupled to the wedge. The actuator is operable to move the wedge between the first and second positions.

Abstract: A method, device and/or a system of centralized management and emergency allocation of deployed defibrillators each having associated communication modules. A central server may process a message from a communication module associated with a defibrillator, and then analyze a photograph and/or a video of a defibrillator display to compare it to a set of expected visual markers using a pixel algorithm of a pixel analysis module. The central server may then determine the operational status of the defibrillator such as whether it is in a nonfunctional status. The central server may then send alerts to the communication module and notifications to the an organization owning or leasing the defibrillator. The central server may also send alerts to the communication module based on a nearby emergency call, provide geospatial mapping of defibrillators to improve deployment efficiency and/or establish bi-directional communication between the operator of the defibrillator and a medical professional.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for supporting and/or stabilizing a patient can help to position a patient relative to a therapeutic laser beam, for example, inhibiting motion or deflection during a refractive procedure on the eyes, and the like. A stabilizing structural member can support a chair or other patient support near shoulders of the patient, and the member may remain stationary while the chair is driven in a horizontal plane by a linkage. Often, a nominal patient center of gravity is located between the support member and a portion of the patient support which is supported by the linkage to reduce cantilever effects. The member may be rigidly attached to a vertical motion stage which moves the chair at an angle, for example at an angle normal to the horizontal plane.

Abstract: Improved devices, systems, and methods support and/or restrain a head of a patient, optionally for use in refractive surgery. Both the height of the patient's head and the angle of the patient's neck along the medial-lateral plane of the patient can be established independently, and compression pillow systems can gently and atraumatically compress the patient's head between protruding foam sidewalls or the like to inhibit movement of the patient from the alignment position.
