Abstract:

Various features described herein may include updating settings on a device in response to a themed cover being placed on a device (e.g., a remote control) associated with the device. The settings may be updated to correspond to a theme of the themed cover. Alternatively or additionally, the device may receive access to different content based on the theme. For example, a device may receive filtered content in response to a child-themed cover. In another example, the device may receive additional football-related content in response to a football-themed cover. The device may revert to its original settings and content access in response to the remote control being removed from the themed cover. In some embodiments, a device may update settings or content access in response to other themed devices (e.g., wearable devices) being within a threshold distance of the device.

Abstract:

A protective cover used to cover the head of a stethoscope and other items that contact the human body. The protective cover is made from a substrate film. The substrate film has opposing curved edges and opposing flat edges. Tab material is applied to the substrate film proximate the opposing curved edges. A coating of tacky adhesive is applied to the bottom surface of the substrate film between the tab material and between the opposing flat edges. The protective covers can be interconnected as a continuous chain, whereby separate protective covers are torn away along perforations. The chain can be wound onto a roll. The roll is held in a box for storage and dispensing. A slot is formed in the box through which individual protective covers can be removed from the roll.
