A single-unit portable Braille device is provided that can include a housing and a touch-sensitive surface provided on the housing and configured to implement a virtual Braille keyboard including a plurality of virtual keys each associated with a key location on the touch-sensitive surface. The virtual Braille keyboard is configured for entry of input Braille data from a user contacting the touch-sensitive surface at one or more of the key locations. The portable Braille device also includes a refreshable Braille display provided on the housing and configured for outputting output Braille data for tactile reading by the user, and a processing unit in the housing and configured to receive the input Braille data from the touch-sensitive surface and to transmit the output Braille data to the refreshable Braille display. In some implementations, the portable Braille device includes a visual display located under the touch-sensitive surface.

Handheld respiratory airway device

A docking assembly for docking a handheld device thereto is provided. The docking assembly includes a cradle for receiving the handheld device, and a handle adjacent to the cradle and reciprocally movable inwardly and outwardly relative to the cradle between an open and a position. The handle has a handle interface facing a corresponding device interface of the handheld device when the handheld device is placed in the cradle. The handle interface has a pair of alignment projections and a handle data connector connectable to a device data connector of the handheld device, the alignment projections being engageable with complimentary alignment cavities of the handheld device. The docking assembly further includes a displacement mechanism configured such that, as the handle moves toward the closed position, the alignment projections progressively engage the alignment cavities and guide the handle and device data connectors toward each other for connection therebetween.

Eyewear

Door lock housing

A combination includes eyewear, such as glasses, with a removable vapor barrier attachment. The eyewear includes a frame and lenses configured for protecting a user's eyes. The vapor barrier attachment is removably attached to the eyewear, and includes a base member removably attachable to the eyewear frame, and flap members extending from the base member. The flap members have a shape and length so as to extend longitudinally below the eyewear lenses. The flap members are attached to the eyewear along at least a portion of the length of the flap members and have a resilient sealing edge that conforms against the wearer's face to inhibit exhaled air from passing between the lenses and the wearer's face.

The adaptation of a regular pocket size computer for use by a visually impaired person is provided. A framework is firstly provided for building adapted applications, having adapted input and output services, a system resources library including tools for interacting with these adapted services and an adaptation library. A tactile keyboard is further provided to allow data entry through the screen interface of the computer. The tactile keyboard includes a membrane having raised keys on one side and corresponding screen activating tips on the other. Means for mounting the keyboard above the computer with the screen activating tips positioned in contact less alignment with the corresponding selected areas of the screen interface are also provided.

The eyewear described comprises a lens having, at opposite lateral sides thereof, a pair of detachable ear stems which are adapted to move from an inwardly folded position to an outwardly ear contacting position. The lens displays, at each lateral side, an opening and a stem connecting portion that defines a hinge element forming an integral part of the lens. The proximal end portion of the ear stem defines a U-shaped recess which is engageable with the hinge element. The recess is formed by a pair of resilient branches which, together with a constriction at the entry of the recess, enables a snap-in engagement and a snap-out disengagement of the ear stem to and from the lens. No additional component is required for this three-piece eyewear.

Reader

The protective eyewear assembly described comprises a frame having right and left portions defining respective right and left apertures and a central bridging portion, and a protective lens piece adapted to be mounted to the lens piece between the upper and lower edges of the frame. The lower edge of the frame has a retaining wall for retaining the lens therein while the upper edges of the frame and the lens piece have cooperating portions to secure the lens to the frame. The frame may be made of flexible plastic material to enable a snap-in engagement and a snap-out disengagement of the lens to and from the frame.
