摘要:
A wearable airway supporting device consisting essentially of elastic textile products and a matching set of form-fit mandible projectors, and has portions that encircle the head such that, when combined with a set of form-fit mandible projectors, exert pressure on at least the pterygoideus internus section of the user's mandible so as to apply upwardly, outward pressure on the lower jaw (mandible) in order to stabilize the same while the user is sleeping or unconscious, thereby preventing snoring, obstructive sleep apnea, and other airway obstruction caused by the tongue dropping back into the throat and blocking the user's airway. When the elastic members are placed around the front and back of the user's head, the device keeps the user's mandible jutted forward and prevents the tongue from falling back so that air flows through his airway.

An improved catheter attachment apparatus is provided for use in reducing infections associated with a percutaneous medical device, such as a catheter. Such a barrier system can include: a barrier device having a catheter-receiving surface or enclosed tube; and an adhesive composition configured for adhering to skin. The improved catheter attachment apparatus forms a physical barrier against microbes at or adjacent to an incision in the skin where the catheter is percutaneously inserted through the skin, yet permits ready access by medical personnel for readjusting the catheter and/or any sutures used therewith.
摘要:
An intubating attachment apparatus for use with endotracheal intubation devices comprising an elongated, generally cylindrical support module configured to accommodate a fiber optic intubation scope and at least one of an endotracheal tube or an endotracheal tube exchanger. The invention obviates the need for an attending medical professional to utilize more than one hand when advancing an endotracheal tube and/or endotracheal tube exchanger along with the fiber optic bundle of a bronchoscope into a patient.

The loss of data stored in a secure memory card, such as a SIM card, due to the physical destruction thereof is prevented. A host unit performs card authentication of a memory card, and transmits update data for the memory card by security communication to update data when the result of the authentication is OK. Then, the host unit outputs a request for mirror-updating the card data to a base station server. When an access is permitted, the card data is transmitted to the base station server via the host unit to mirror-update the card data. When the mirror-updating of the card data is completed, the base station server returns a completion confirmation to the host unit, so that a data backup process is completed. By thus causing the base station server to mirror-update the data in the memory card, the loss of the stored data is prevented.

An adapter for a memory card is disclosed which performs a change of size so that a memory card smaller in planar size but almost equal in thickness as compared with a multi-media card can be used as a multi-media card. A protuberant portion is formed behind plural external terminals formed on a back side of the adapter, whereby, while the thickness of a front side of the adapter is maintained at a standardized thickness of the multi-media card, a rear side of the adapter is made thicker than the front side and internal terminals for contact with external terminals of the memory card are disposed in the interior of the thick portion of the adapter. The versatility of an extremely small-sized memory card can be improved.

A semiconductor device includes external interface terminals and processing circuits, and it is fed with an operating power source when detachably set in a host equipment. Power source feeding terminals (VCC, VSS) among the external interface terminals are long enough to keep touching the corresponding terminals of the host equipment for, at least, a predetermined time period since the separation of an extraction detecting terminal among the external interface terminals, from the corresponding terminal of the host equipment, and they are formed to be longer in the extraction direction of the semiconductor device than the extraction detecting terminal. Thus, a time period till the cutoff of the power source is easily made comparatively long. The power source feeding terminals should preferably be extended onto the insertion side of the semiconductor device, but an extendible distance is sometimes liable to be limited. In order to ensure the necessary time period without changing the length and shape of the power source feeding terminals on the semiconductor device side, each of the power source feeding terminals may be formed so as to have two, front and rear touch points with the corresponding connector terminal of the host equipment side, but complicated improvements are necessitated for the construction of the connector terminal of the host equipment side. According to the semiconductor device, the time period required till the power source cutoff is easily ensured, and the complicated improvements are not required for the construction of the corresponding connector terminals of the host equipment side.

In an IC card, there is provided a technique capable of large expandability of a memory volume, and a memory volume and a cost matched with a user's requirement. A SIM adapter 101 has a top panel 104 for covering a recess portion. In the top panel 104, when a memory card 103 is not inserted, the top panel 104 is positioned at a first height, and, when the memory card 103 is inserted, a part of the top panel 104 is engaged with a part of the SIM adapter 101 so that the top panel is latched at a second height higher than the first height. Also, into a SIM adapter, a top panel for fixing a memory card when the memory card is inserted is inserted, and a part of the top panel is engaged with a part of the SIM adapter so that the top panel is latched when the memory card is inserted. Further, into a SIM adapter, a top panel for fixing a memory card when the memory card is inserted is inserted, and the top panel has a terminal strip contacting with both of a terminal of the SIM adapter and a terminal of the memory card so that the terminal strip electrically connects between both of them.
