Abstract: Systems to retain a battery within, and to eject a battery from, a battery receptacle of a medical device, such as a portable defibrillator, are described. A battery receptacle of a medical device includes an element that is configured to engage an inserted battery to prevent, or reduce, movement of the battery within the receptacle and to assist with removing the battery from the receptacle. In an example, the element is a monolithic structure that includes a retention portion and an ejection portion. The retention portion is positioned at a side wall of the battery receptacle, and the ejection portion terminates in a free end positioned a distance from the side wall. When the battery is inserted into the battery receptacle, the retention portion exerts a retention force on a side surface of the battery, and the ejection portion exerts an ejection force on an end surface of the battery.

Abstract: Systems and methods for establishing communication between at least one host system, at least one buyer device, and at least one realtor device are disclosed. The system determining a current location of the at least one buyer device using a device locator and sending at least one selectable indicator associated with a location of available realtors located within a determined distance of the current location of the buyer device. Upon selection of a selectable indicator, the system facilitates the showing of a property associated with the current location of the user device by connecting a realtor associated with the selectable indicator and buyer associated with the buyer device. Once the showing has been accepted, the system provides real-time updates of the realtors location as they travel to the showing.

Abstract: An electronic device is described which comprises a memory storing a font comprising a mapping from character codes to glyphs. The memory also stores character information comprising at least information about one or more unsupported character codes. A processor of the device processes text content comprising character codes using the font to create text output by converting the character codes into glyphs for display at a display associated with the electronic device. The processor is configured to capture the text output and detect whether the text output comprises at least one unsupported character code; and, in the case that at least one unsupported character code is detected, to output to a user of the device information about the unsupported character code obtained from the character information.

Abstract: Synthesis methods to produce a series of carboxamides built off of an (S)-2-amino acid backbone or an (R)-2-amino acid backbone, depending upon the desired diastereomer of the end product.
