Abstract: A method of testing the structural integrity of a rigid container comprises performing a sampling process on the rigid container comprising sampling a volume of sample gas from a sampling region associated with the rigid container, wherein the method further comprises performing a detection process comprising producing one or more laser beams for excitation of one or more materials that may be in the volume of sample gas, wherein the one or more materials are representative of a gas and/or vapour and/or a liquid leak from the rigid container and detecting light that has passed through the volume of sample gas, and determining the presence and/or absence and/or amount of said one or more materials in the volume of sample gas based on detected light.

Abstract: A device and method for automatically indicating an operating status of a defibrillator is provided. A defibrillator device includes a housing and a handle attached to the housing constructed at least partially of a light-transmitting material. A user interface is positioned within the housing that includes a plurality of controls thereon, with the plurality of controls enabling a user to control an operating status of the defibrillator device. A light source is positioned within the housing that is configured to illuminate the handle in one of a plurality of colors. The defibrillator device also includes a processor configured to determine the operating status of the defibrillator device and selectively control the light source to illuminate the handle in one of the plurality of colors based on the determined operating status of the defibrillator device.
