A hearing aiding apparatus integrating image-acoustics positioning, omnidirectional acoustic reception, and warning includes an apparatus body, an acoustic-receiving unit, an image-capturing unit, a warning device, and a control unit. The apparatus body has a playing unit. The acoustic-receiving unit captures audio signals around the apparatus body in a 360-degree range. The audio signals include ambient sounds and speaking voices. The image-capturing unit captures human-face images around the apparatus body. The control unit stores human-face images, speaking voices, and special ambient sound audios. The control unit receives the audio signals and the human-face images and uses computer vision to identify and enhance the speaking voices associated with the human-face images. Then the playing unit plays the speaking voices. The control unit issues a warning message via the warning device when receiving an ambient sound identical to a pre-stored special ambient sound.

A needle dislodgement and blood leakage detection device includes a sensor assembly having a flexible sensor and a flexible substrate. The flexible sensor is provided, on an underside thereof at a location close to the flexible substrate, with a photoelectric sensor including near infrared transmitters that are of an array arrangement. The photoelectric sensor includes a signal amplifier module and a signal filter module that are electrically connected. An alarm device is coupled to the sensor assembly and includes a microprocessor unit, which includes a digital signal converter module, a signal sampling module, a signal demodulation module, a signal processing module, a time division module, a storage module, and a wireless transmission module that are connected in series. The digital signal converter module is connected to the signal filter module. The storage module and the wireless transmission module are respectively connected to a display unit and a computer.

A hemostatic method is performed as follows: A) An at-puncture hemostatic pressure is applied to a puncture in a blood vessel via a main geometric side, and at least one off-puncture hemostatic pressure is applied to at least one position away from the puncture via at least one auxiliary geometric side, wherein the off-puncture hemostatic pressure acts on the blood vessel either directly or indirectly. B) During the hemostatic process, an ongoing flow velocity of the blood in the blood vessel is obtained and is reduced to lower than a normal flow velocity in the blood vessel by applying the at-puncture and off-puncture hemostatic pressures simultaneously, wherein the at-puncture and off-puncture hemostatic pressures are lower than a systolic pressure in the blood vessel.
