    Abstract: A method for distracting an individual from a treatment event comprises providing a distraction tool; positioning the distraction tool at a contact location on an individual, the contact location being substantially adjacent a location of a treatment event; activating an oscillation device to induce vibrations in the distraction tool; and subsequently initiating the treatment event at the treatment event location. The distraction tool comprises a stimulation apparatus comprising a housing and a plurality of projections extending from the housing. The oscillation device is in communication with the distraction tool to induce vibrations specifically in the stimulation apparatus. Activating the oscillation device to induce vibrations causes the plurality of projections to oscillate against the individual at the contact location, thereby shifting attention from the treatment event to the vibrations, wherein the shift in attention causes the individual to discount pain caused by the treatment event.

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes roof shingle systems. One roof shingle system includes at least two shingles, a shingle clip, a drip edge, and a power collection unit. Each shingle has a semiconductive layer configured to deliver power, electrical current/voltage, and/or control signals to the power collection unit. The shingle clip continues a conductive path between the two shingles. The drip edge is at least partially insulated and partially conductive, and the conductive portion continues the path from the shingle semiconductive layer to the power unit where energy is collected. One method of installing a shingle system includes the steps of positioning a shingle having a transducer in the form of a semiconductive layer, and positioning a shingle clip to engage the semiconductive layer of the shingle.

    Abstract: Flexible sensor systems and sensor mounting devices and methods are disclosed. A sensor-mounting device includes an elongate tubular body made of foam so as to be flexibly manipulatable. The body has a bore extending between front and rear ends in a longitudinal direction. A sensor is located within the bore of the tubular body. Situated within the bore of the body is an inner tube having a central bore. The sensor is protected by and located within the central bore of the inner tube. The inner tube is more rigid than the body and allows the sensor system to be poseable and fixable into many non-permanent positions.

    Abstract: A mobile printer for use with a piece of paper includes a computer memory, a processor in data communication with the computer memory, an input device in data communication with the processor, a housing configured to rest atop the paper, a carriage located inside the housing, carriage actuators for moving the carriage adjacent the paper, a scanning device coupled to the housing and positioned to obtain existing-indicia information, and a printing unit coupled to and movable with the carriage. The scanning device and the carriage actuators are in data communication with the processor. The printing unit includes an output nozzle and a supply passage for supplying ink from a reservoir to the output nozzle. Programming causes the scanning device to obtain the existing-indicia information, the computer memory to store the obtained existing-indicia information, the carriage actuators to selectively move the carriage, and the ink to pass from the output nozzle.

    Abstract: A system for monitoring at least one characteristic of biological material of an individual includes a wearable product. The wearable product includes an outer surface and a skin contact surface defining an internal area. An analysis portal is disposed in the internal area, and includes a sensing portion and an investigation portion. The sensing portion has at least one sensor, and the investigation portion that includes a computing device having a health screener. The sensing portion of the analysis portal comes into contact with a biological material of the individual, and the health screener is configured to determine at least one characteristic of the biological material. The computing device is communicatively coupled to the sensors and the display.

    Abstract: Adhesive damping systems are described. A damping system for reducing the effects on a substrate caused by a disruption in the substrate environment includes an adhesive having a plurality of three-dimensional nanoparticles dispersed therein. The nanoparticles are configured to provide a controlled response to an applied force field. The system further includes a sensor which measures an amplitude and frequency spectrum of the disruption. In a use configuration, the sensor determines the amplitude and frequency spectrum of the disruption received by the substrate; and the applied force field is dependent on the amplitude and frequency spectrum of the disruption.
