Abstract:
A tamper-evident closure assembly (22) for a valve outlet (16) of a pressurized gas cylinder, or the like includes a cap (50) and a tamper-evident ring (52, 140, 200, 240). The assembly is threadably attached to the outlet prior to shipment and removed by a customer prior to dispensing fluid through the outlet. The ring includes tabs (84, 146, 204, 242) which snap fit into slots (90) in the cap and cause the ring to rotate with the cap. Fins (100, 162, 206, 260) on the ring engage a surface of the valve outlet during cap removal. When sufficient force is applied in the cap removal direction, part of the ring is severed, such as the tabs or the fins. This provide evidence that the cap has been removed.
Abstract:
Provided in various example embodiments a mobile device integrated in a body that is sized and shaped to be held in a palm of a hand of a user, the mobile device configured to take a plurality of physiological measurements of a patient, including electrocardiographic measurements, blood oxygen saturation level measurements, pulse rate measurements, body temperature measurements, blood pressure measurements when connected with a removable inflatable cuff, and blood glucose measurements when connected with an elongated test strip, and to display and wirelessly communicate data corresponding to said physiological measurements. The mobile device may comprise some or all of the features of an Internet enabled smartphone. The mobile device may be provided with selectable modes of operation for use with one or more patients.

Abstract:
A safety system comprising a plurality of wearable transceiver devices for operation in independent use with a plurality of a landline-based phone and a cell phone to establish contact between a user of a wearable transceiver device and a central monitoring station. The wearable transceiver devices sense a crash or a fall and notify a monitor by a landline-based phone or a cell phone of this incident and the assisted GPS determined location of the incident. The information is provided to the monitor a short predetermined time following activation unless the device is deactivated by pressing a communication button. When the device has not been activated by a crash or fall, the user may press the communication button to communicate with the monitor to obtain a wide variety of services. A cell phone having reserve batteries, accelerometers, and assisted GPS location capabilities is also disclosed.
