Abstract: A battery-powered system includes a device and a battery. The device includes a recess for receiving the battery and an electrical contact disposed at the bottom of the recess. The device includes front and back guide elements and a spacer with a raised portion and a ramp. The battery has front and back guide elements constructed to mate with corresponding front and back guide elements of the device such that when the guide elements are mated, the battery is in a locked position. A battery electrical contact is disposed along the device-facing major surface, constructed to operatively couple with the device electrical contact. The spacer is constructed to reduce wear and damage to the electrical contacts by reducing contact with the electrical contacts while the battery is moved long the spacer.

Abstract: An earplug comprises a core and a sound-attenuating body attached to the core, the sound-attenuating body comprising a tip cavity extending proximally from the tip of the sound-attenuating body and comprising a distal opening. The tip cavity side wall includes a plurality of protrusions extending inwardly toward the longitudinal axis of the core. The plurality of protrusions may include from 2 to 12 protrusions. A method of making an earplug includes covering at least a portion of a core with a material including unactivated foaming agent; inserting an end of the core and at least a portion of the material into a mold cavity; and activating the foaming agent to create a sound-attenuating body. The sound-attenuating body has a base, tip, and tip cavity with a plurality of protrusions. The mold cavity may include a boss with a cup and plurality of cut-outs on the cup for forming the protrusions.
