Abstract: A medical device includes a display area that has a thin panel having a substantially flat front surface portion, a translucent layer on a back surface of the thin panel, a layer of text or graphics on a back surface of the translucent layer, and arranged so that the text or graphics is not visible to a user on the front side when light is not provided from inside the device housing, a switch to allow a user to select a first mode or a second mode for the device, and circuitry arranged to energize one or more light sources to provide light from behind the thin panel when the device is in the first mode, and to thereby make visible the text or graphics when the device is in the first mode.

Abstract: According to an embodiment of the present invention, an apparatus includes an automated external defibrillator including at least one display. The apparatus also includes a support mechanism for supporting the automated external defibrillator. The support mechanism includes a stand connected to a hinge that is connected to the automated external defibrillator. The hinge is capable of placing the stand in a deployed position for supporting the automated external defibrillator during operation and is capable of placing the stand in a stowed position for storing the automated external defibrillator.

Abstract: A medical device includes a device housing and a door mounted to the device housing. The device also includes a first magnet mounted to the door, wherein magnetic force applied to the door exerts a moment on the door, and a second magnet mounted in the housing and positioned to hold the door shut by magnetic interaction with the first magnet. In addition, the device includes a user-movable mode-changing mechanism attached to a third magnet, and arranged to hold the third magnet out of proximity with the first and second magnets when the device is in a first mode, and to move the third magnet into proximity with the first and second magnets when the device is in a second mode so as to expel the first magnet away from the housing and open the door to expose items positioned behind the door.

Abstract: In one aspect, a medical system includes a medical device having a housing, and a cable connectable to the housing; and a cable retainer associated with the medical device. The cable retainer has a constantly exposed opening maintained at a size sufficient to receive the cable in a bundled state.

Abstract: Membrane Electrode Assemblies for Polymer Electrolyte Hydrogen and Direct Methanol Fuel Cells and Methods for Their Production Electrodes and membrane electrode assemblies for use in fuel cells are provided containing a plurality of layers of catalyst and binder, wherein the first layer (2a, 2b) adjacent to the PEM (1) of the plurality of layers (3a, 3b, 4a, 4b, 5a, 5b) contains a higher concentration of catalyst as compared to each subsequent layer of the electrode.

Abstract: A cable configured for use between a medical device and a subject, includes a first end configured to connect to the medical device, a second end configured to connect to the subject, and a single elongated body between the first and second ends. The body contains a first set of conductors configured to perform a therapeutic function, and a second set of conductors configured to perform a first monitoring function.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are filtering systems and methods that employ an electronic message source reputation system. The source reputation system maintains a pool of source Internet Protocol (IP) address information, in the form of a Real-Time Threat Identification Network (“RTIN”) database, which can provide the reputation of source IP addresses, which can be used by customers for filtering network traffic. The source reputation system provides for multiple avenues of access to the source reputation information. Examples of such avenues can include Domain Name Server (DNS)-type queries, servicing routers with router-table data, or other avenues.

Abstract: The present invention provides an electronic message management system (EMS) that includes a real-time feedback loop where data is collected from the electronic messages on incoming connection attempts, outgoing delivery attempts, and message content analysis, and written to a centralized data matrix. A separate process accesses the data matrix and analyzes trends in that data. The detected data patterns, trends or behavior is based on configuration parameters for the recipient. Based on these determinations, the process is able to instruct components in the EMS to accept, redirect, refuse, modify, defer, or otherwise dispose of the connection request, the delivery attempt, or the message. Associated methods for managing the transmission of electronic messages are also disclosed.
