Abstract: An apparatus and method for improving local illumination by a personal care implement, such as tweezers, tongs, pinchers and the like. The apparatus includes a first arm terminating at one end in a first gripping edge; a second arm, coupled to and biased away from said first arm, terminating at one end in a second gripping edge springingly engaging with said first gripping edge; an illumination system directing illumination into a field-of-view in an “ON” mode and said illumination system including an “OFF” mode in which said illumination system is inactive; a magnification system including a lens having a focus; and an illumination boom, coupled to said arms, for positioning said lens and a light source of said illumination system between a stowed position and an operating position, said stowed position engaging said OFF mode and said operating position including a stop to configure said boom and engage said ON mode to include said gripping edges within said field-of-view and at said focus.

Abstract: A package for an article of manufacture is provided, the article of manufacture incorporating a switch having an on/off mode controlled by a handle, the package includes a housing at least partially enclosing the article of manufacture and includes an aperture permitting manipulation of the handle to an ON position for the switch; and a biasing system provided in the package and coupled to the handle, the biasing system positioning the handle to an OFF position for the switch when the handle is not manipulated to the ON position.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for improving local illumination by a cutting implement, such as scissors or shears and the like. The apparatus includes a pair of cooperating shear bodies rotatably coupled to each other about a pivot for opening and closing movements, each shear body including a blade having a pivot portion surrounding the pivot, a shank, and a finger grip; and an illumination system, coupled to the shear bodies and responsive to a rotational relationship between the shear bodies, for directing illumination into a field-of-view that includes the blades wherein the rotational relationship is established by a switch coupled to the blades.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for improving local illumination of a nail-cutting implement, such as clippers for human or animal nails.

Abstract: A method of accepting data related to a patient includes entering data related to the patient into a computer during a session. The method also includes determining, during the session, if the data entered during the session conflicts with other data accessible via the computer using predetermined conflict rules.

Abstract: A keyboard has a key array including keys, a top surface having a front edge and a back edge, and a bottom surface positioned opposite the top surface. An interface device for use with the keyboard includes a base, a front standoff coupled to the base and having a keyboard-contacting portion, and a back standoff coupled to the base and having a keyboard-contacting portion. The keyboard-contacting portions are spaced such that, when the base is positioned over the key array, the key array is positioned between the keyboard-contacting portions so as to align the base in a front-to-back orientation relative to the key array. The keyboard-contacting portions are both supported by the top surface of the keyboard. The interface device also includes a key-contacting mechanism mounted on the base in a fixed orientation relative to the standoffs, and a coupling mechanism for removably coupling the interface device to the keyboard.
