A remote alarm for use with a wearable defibrillator. The remote alarm may be a wearable remote device including a strap for disposing the wearable remote device on a wrist of a patient and communications circuitry disposed in the wearable remote device to wirelessly communicate with the wearable defibrillator. The wearable remote device may be configured to receive alarms, voice messages and prompts issued by the wearable defibrillator and to repeat those alarms, voice messages and prompts in a manner that can more easily be perceived by a patient wearing the wearable defibrillator or a bystander. The wearable remote device may further be configured to take certain actions depending upon the content of the to communication, such as sending a telephone message to alert emergency personnel to the identity, location and medical condition of the patient, or sending an email to a friend, caregiver, or relative.

A wall element for the sound-insulating interior lining of a transport device, comprising at least one sandwich element, at least one insulation package and at least one absorber plane element. The sandwich element comprises at least one core layer, a first cover layer and a second cover layer, wherein the first cover layer and the second cover layer are each arranged on one side of the core layer. At least the first or the second cover layer is a microperforated layer; the sandwich element possesses a shear rigidity that is adjusted in such a way that the sandwich element comprises one or several coincidence boundary frequencies that are determined by the shear rigidity, which coincidence boundary frequencies are outside the frequency range that dominates the noise in the interior of the cabin; and the shear rigidity of the sandwich element at the same time is sufficient for said sandwich element to be used as an interior lining. Sound-insulating interior lining according to the aspects according to the invention provides adequate sound insulation also in the lower frequency range of below 500 Hz, without increasing the weight of the interior lining when compared to the weight of conventional interior linings.

A percussive therapy device that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a push rod assembly operatively connected to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor. The housing includes first, second and third handle portions and a head portion that cooperate to define a handle opening. The first handle portion defines a first axis, the second handle portion defines a second axis and the third handle portion defines a third axis and the first, second and third axes cooperate to form a triangle. The motor is positioned in the head portion of the housing, and at least a portion of the push rod assembly extends outside of the head portion.

A system for connecting an accessory to a firearm having an enlarged muzzle portion has a body with a bore sized to closely receive the enlarged portion. The body has a stop to limit the insertion depth of the muzzle. A gate is received by the body for movement along the path perpendicular to the bore axis. The gate has a recessed area sized to receive the enlarged muzzle portion. A spring generates axial force to retain the muzzle portion within the recessed area. Compression of the spring enables movement of the gate to shift between an open and closed position, so that the accessory may be removed or installed when in the open position, and secured when in the closed position.

A percussive therapy device that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a routine controller configured to initiate a protocol configured to apply at least one output of the percussive therapy device in response to user input, and initiate at least one step of the protocol in which the percussive therapy device is applied in accordance with the at least one output.

A percussive massage device with a force meter that includes a housing, an electrical source, a motor positioned in the housing, a switch for activating the motor, and a controller configured to obtain a voltage of the motor, generate a lookup table correlating voltage to force applied by the percussive massage device, and display a force magnitude corresponding to the obtained voltage using the lookup table.

A light source is disposed at an end of an optical unit (4) formed approximately in planarly-viewed L-shape and an axial-flow fan (6A) is disposed so that suction surface thereof opposes the light source, where an exhaust duct (6B) connected with the axial-flow fan (6A) and extending toward a front side of a projector (1) along a side of a lower case is disposed on the exhaust side of the axial-flow fan (6A), so that the axial-flow fan (6A) is spaced apart from an exhaust hole formed on the front side of the projector (1) and the exhaust flow from the axial-flow fan (6A) becomes parallel to an image projecting direction of a projection lens.

A noise control method is provided for a cooling system having at least one refrigerant circuit. The refrigerant circuit includes a compressor, a condenser, at least one condenser fan, and an evaporator. Noise control is only performed periodically in response to requirements for reduced operation at predetermined times. The request for reduced noise triggers the commencement of the noise control method. The noise control method involves reducing the operating speed of the compressor, as well as reducing the operating speed of at least one condenser fan, to within a predetermined range of allowable reduced operating speeds. The noise control method temporarily overrides the ability of the cooling system to fully respond to increased cooling or heating demands. When the noise control method is terminated, such as by the end of the stated period of time requiring reduced noise generation, the system is restored to normal operation, and remains fully responsive to cooling and heating demand until commencement of the next period of reduced noise requirements.

A vertically operating door and its drive system can be configured to push a door panel along a track to various overhead storage configurations including vertical, horizontal, inclined and coiled. Semi-flexible drive strips extend continuously along lateral edges of the curtain. The system includes a drive gear that engages a series of projections on at least one drive strip so that the gear can push the door between its open and closed positions. To protect the door from being damaged by collisions, the track can include a breakaway feature that allows at least a portion of the panel with its drive strip to separate from the track without permanent distortion. The drive strip and panel remain together as they break away from the track. The threshold of the breakaway force can be changed by selecting a retention strip from a plurality of interchangeable strips having different degrees of flexibility.
