Abstract: In various embodiments, a spring is utilized to fix an optic to a mechanical mount in a laser system. Such springs may consist of a single length of elastic material having first and second ends. The length of elastic material may define first and second off-center bends providing first and second base portions, as well as a central bend that is generally U-shaped and that defines first and second contact portions. The first and second contact portions are opposed to each other across the central bend to thereby resist compression of the first and second contact portions toward the first and second base portions.

Abstract: A management system may utilize a dashboard to receive an audio or visual input recorded at a first location. The management system may wirelessly transmit the input to the dashboard from a remote recording device located at the first location. The dashboard may render one or more inputs in real time and in a format in which they are communicated via the wireless transmission connection. The dashboard may also allow for selection of portions of the inputs to create an output to be sent over the wireless transmission connection to at least one of the remote recording devices.
