Abstract: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) robust design for an input device such as a stylus is disclosed. The input device can include one or more components, such as one or more Schottky diodes, that can be damaged by ESD events. To reduce the likelihood of damage to sensitive components, the parasitic capacitance between sensitive conductive paths and reference ground paths of the input device that could otherwise provide electrostatic discharge paths can be reduced (arranging current limiting resistance at specific locations among sensitive components, creating physical separation between sensitive conductive paths and reference ground paths), shielding can be added to shield the sensitive electronics from ESD pulses, and high dielectric breakdown material can be added to prevent ESD pulse entry or exit of not otherwise protected circuit parts.

Abstract: An eye mask apparatus for protecting a patient's eyes while being secured around the patient's head during panoramic dental radiography, the apparatus comprising an elongated lead vinyl sheet having a first end and a second end, wherein said first and second ends have attachment devices to releasably secure said two ends together. The elongated lead vinyl sheet is adapted to be secured around the patient's head at eye level. The elongated lead vinyl sheet is further adapted to cover a slice of the patient's head that is confined between two planes, the two planes being parallel to a transverse plane of the patient's head at eye level. Therefore, the eye mask apparatus protects the slice of the patient's head and the patient's eyes from x-ray radiation during the panoramic dental radiography. The lead vinyl sheet is placed over the patient's eyes prior to radiography.

A curved surface adjacent to and downstream of the air outlet. The haircare appliance or the attachment has a curved surface adjacent to and downstream of the air outlet. The haircare appliance or the attachment is configured such that airflow exiting the air outlet generates a first force to attract hair toward the curved surface, and a second force to push hair away from the curved surface.

Abstract: A wearable air purification system including one or more wearable supports and an air delivery mask supported by one or more of the one or more wearable supports. A motor for driving a flow of air to an air delivery region bounded by the air delivery mask is mounted at a first position on one of the one or more wearable supports, or at a first position on the air delivery mask. An air filter for purifying the flow of air is mounted at a second position on one of the one or more wearable supports.

Abstract: A wearable air purification system including a wearable support configured to be supported on a head of a user; and an air delivery mask which is shaped to at least partially bound an air delivery region and to deliver a flow of air to the air delivery region. The wearable support includes a left side support and a right side support which support, at a front side of the system, the air delivery mask therebetween. The system further includes a motor housing for a motor which is configured to drive the air flow to or from the air delivery region, in use, wherein the motor mounting locates at a rear side of the user's head when the system is supported on the user's head in use.

Abstract: An eye mask apparatus for protecting a patient's eyes during dental or other radiography (i.e., “x-rays”) has an eye covering portion including a lead vinyl sheet. The lead vinyl sheet has a perimeter configured such that the lead vinyl sheet can completely cover a patient's eyes. The eye covering portion includes a first side and a second side. A trim portion extends around the perimeter, with the trim portion extending inward over a portion of the first side and the second side. A retaining band is coupled to the eye covering portion at a first attachment point and a second attachment point. The retaining band is configured to hold the eye covering portion against the patient's eyes when the mask is worn.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems and methods of detecting a hydrogen leak in a system comprising a hydrogen storage system storing hydrogen, a temperature sensor, a pressure sensor, a hydrogen storage system controller, and a notification system. The hydrogen storage system controller is configured to measure thermodynamic properties of the hydrogen in the hydrogen storage system, and the thermodynamic properties of the hydrogen are used to determine if there is a hydrogen leak in the fuel cell system. The notification system alerts a user of any detected hydrogen leak.
