Accessory interface node

A helmet accessory mounting system includes a mounting device configured to couple to an outer surface of a side of a helmet. The mounting device includes a plurality of mounting locations configured to removeably couple to at least one accessory. A plurality of the plurality of mounting locations each includes an electrical node. A power supply is coupled to the mounting device. An electrical supply line electrically couples the power supply to each of the electrical nodes and the electrical supply line is contained at least partially within the mounting device.

The present invention provides an improved light system for labor detection by monitoring the status of a cervix, including dilation, during pregnancy and for monitoring vaginal pH at the cervix to detect the leakage of amniotic fluid, including a MEMS receiver programmed to receive and process MEMS cervical data into cervical status data for transmission to a remote network monitor a first cervical MEMS device positioned at a first cervix location and a second cervical MEMS device positioned at a second cervix location providing MEMS cervical data for transmission to the short range wireless receiver for detecting labor.

Remote microelectromechanical labor detection system

A device for implantation on the cervix of a pregnant female that provides monitoring means by which the dilatation of a female patient's cervix may be monitored during the first phase of labor. The device comprises a housing manufactured from biocompatible material into which a spindle member joined to a tension sensor passes. The housing also contains a transmitter and a power source for the sensor and transmitter. A plurality of sutures are fixed the spindle and pass out of housing so that they may be attached to the female patient's cervix. A tension knob is provided for winding excess suture length onto the spindle, thereby securing the device within the vagina. Dilatation of the cervix at the onset of labor exerts tension on the sutures which is conveyed to the spindle and translated by the sensor to a signal directed at the transmitter. Throughout the first phase of labor, the transmitter issues electronic signals to a second electronic device such as a computer, allowing the compilation and display of dilatation data.

Labor monitoring device

A device for implantation on the cervix of a pregnant female that provides an alerting means by which a female patient or her health caregiver is notified of the onset of labor. The device comprises a housing manufactured from biocompatible material into which a spindle member joined to a tension sensor passes. The housing also contains a transmitter and a power source for the sensor and transmitter. A plurality of sutures are fixed the spindle and pass out of housing so that they may be attached to the female patient's cervix. A tension knob is provided for winding excess suture length onto the spindle, thereby securing the device within the vagina. Dilatation of the cervix at the onset of labor exerts tension on the sutures which is conveyed to the spindle and translated by the sensor to a signal directed at the transmitter. The transmitter issues an electronic signal to a second electronic device such as a pager or PDA, notifying the patient or her health caregiver of impending birth.

Labor alerting device

A device for implantation on the cervix of a pregnant female that provides a means by which a female patient or her health caregiver is notified of the rupture of membranes by the release of amniotic fluid. The device comprises a housing manufactured from biocompatible material having a hole through which amniotic fluid in the patient's vagina may pass. The housing contains a pH meter and a transmitter in electronic communication therewith as well as a power source for the sensor and transmitter. When amniotic fluid is released through the cervix into the vagina, a quantity thereof may pass into the housing and sensed by the sensor, causing the sensor to direct a signal to the transmitter. The transmitter issues an electronic signal to a second electronic device such as a pager or PDA, notifying the patient or her health caregiver that her water has broken.

Amniotic fluid alerting device

A view limiting enclosure and assembly for dial combination locks with a dome cover(9): which completely covers a dial combination lock(1): dial turning knob(3): and dial except for a dial viewing hole(10): to view the dial graduations as they go by a partly transparent L shaped cover(6): which covers the dial inside the dome cover so that only 3 or 4 dial graduations are seen at one time and all but one dial graduation mark looks the same. A rope pulling hole(11): in the side of the dome cover contains a rope(2): that goes around the dial turning knob and is used to turn the dial by pulling on one end or the other end of the rope slowly and counting one dial graduation at a time until the correct combination is reach to open lock. It takes one minute to open sober, very hard if not impossible, to open if you are drunk.
