An external medical device can include a housing, an energy storage module within the housing for storing an electrical charge, and a defibrillation port for guiding via electrodes the stored electrical charge to a person. The device can also include a user interface to deliver prompts to a user during a defibrillation session and a language detector in the housing to determine a vicinity language. The prompts can be in a language that is selected based on the determined vicinity language.

Medical device with language localization

A flexible optic or optical system is deformed using a non-overlapping iris or any of several deformable ring or polygon shapes. In some examples, the deformation of the flexible optic is controlled by one or more actuators comprising a shape memory material. The flexible optic may be used in, e.g. a bar code reader or imager.

An imaging apparatus comprises an image pickup and a lens. A shape memory actuator is coupled to the lens and configured to move the lens relative to the image pickup.

Systems and methods for moving a lens using shape memory materials

A deformable mirror changes configuration in response to a change of the configuration of a shape memory material. In some examples, the deformable mirror is formed of the shape memory material. In other examples, the deformable mirror changes configuration under the control of actuators comprising shape memory materials.

Optical scanning and imaging applications using deformable mirrors

A zoom lens assembly comprises a first optical component, a second optical component, and an actuator. The actuator comprises a shape memory material that changes its shape in response to electrical or thermal fields to change the distance between the first and second optical components.
