Abstract: A variety of arrangements and methods relating to a defibrillator are described. In one aspect of the invention, a defibrillator includes two paddles that each include a defibrillator electrode covered in a protective housing. The two paddles are sealed together using a releasable seal to form a paddle module such that the housings of the paddles form the exterior of the paddle module. An electrical system including at least a battery and a capacitor is electrically coupled with the paddles. The battery is arranged to charge the capacitor. The capacitor is arranged to apply a voltage at the defibrillator electrodes, which generates an electrical shock for arresting a cardiac arrhythmia.

Abstract: A variety of arrangements and methods relating to a defibrillator and a multiphasic pulse generator are described. In one aspect of the invention, a defibrillator includes two paddles that each include a defibrillator electrode covered in a protective housing. The two paddles are sealed together using a releasable seal to form a paddle module such that the housings of the paddles form the exterior of the paddle module. The multi-phasioc pulse generator includes a first subsystem, a second subsystem, and a switching component is electrically coupled with the paddles. The first subsystem and the second subsystem are arranged to generate a first phase of a pulse and a second phase of the pulse, the first phase of the pulse having a positive phase or a negative phase, and the second phase of the pulse having a phase in opposite polarity to the first phase of the pulse.

Abstract: A lockable bicycle rack system includes a mounting clip and a rack configured to detachably couple to a bicycle frame. The rack includes a body, a lid pivotally coupled to the body between an open position and a closed position, and a locking mechanism. The mounting clip is coupled to the rack and includes a base component adapted to couple to a container, a rack receiving gap, and a lever arm having a rack latch that extends at least partially across the rack receiving gap when the lever arm is in a locked position. A side member of the body extends through and is locked within the rack receiving gap when the rack latch is in the locked position, and a side member of the lid prevents the lever arm from leaving the locked position when the lid is in the closed position.

Abstract: An adjustable bike rack for bicycles including wide tires including a platform comprising at least one first sleeve and at least one second sleeve. A first side piece comprises at least one first prong. A second side piece comprises at least one second prong. A narrow position is defined by the at least one first prong being fully inserted within the at least one first sleeve and the at least one second prong being fully inserted within the at least one second sleeve. A wide position is defined by the at least one first prong being minimally inserted within the at least one first sleeve and the at least one second prong being minimally inserted within the at least one second sleeve. A plurality of tightening devices are adapted to releasably fix a position of the adjustable bike rack into the narrow position or the wide position.

Abstract: A locking rack solves the problem of not being able to securely carry and store items on a bicycle. The system allows for a luggage rack, rack-top bag, and panniers to all be locked together through the use of mounting clips, security rails, and security hooks, a traditional security cable, and a single lock integrated into the rack. The bags, panniers, and luggage racks according to the invention may be attached to the front and/or rear of a bicycle and may be used with any other bags, panniers, or luggage racks; however, the security advantages of the present invention may only be realized fully by using the complete system of the present invention described including bags, panniers, and luggage racks.

Abstract: A device and method for reducing patient transthoracic impedance for the purpose of delivering a therapeutic current are provided. In one embodiment, the device for reducing patient transthoracic impedance for the purpose of delivering a therapeutic current may be used in a defibrillator. The device for reducing patient transthoracic impedance for the purpose of delivering a therapeutic current may be a microneedle array that may have a number of different configurations and may be made with different materials.
