 can display various alpha-numeric characters. One region may conventionally have 7 segments configured in a figure eight pattern. Different combinations of the segments may be used to display a desired number, for example all 7 segments may be used to display an 8. To activate a segment of a conventional LCD panel, two control lines (a common line and a segment line) may be powered to select the desired segment. The control lines of an LCD may be configured into a matrix with the common lines crossing the segment lines—no common lines cross common lines and no segment lines cross segment lines in this control matrix. Thus, for an LCD display with 32 segments, there could be four common lines and 8 segment lines. By powering the correct combination of segment and common lines, a LCD panel may display desired information. To control a larger number of segments additional control lines and additional drivers may be required. However, the current push is for LCD panels with more segments being driven from fewer inputs.

Loss of blood is a major cause of death in emergency situations in which the injured person is alone or medical assistance is not immediately available. The use of a tourniquet to stop blood loss from an injured arm or leg is a well-known technique for preventing death in these situations. In general, for emergency use where the victim is alone, the victim must be able to apply the tourniquet to his or her own arm or leg and occlude blood flow using only one hand.
Tourniquets of the prior art generate inward radial compression on the limb by being put into high levels of circumferential tension when wrapped around the limb. As the pressure on the limb increases, the friction between the strap and the limb also increases, causing the underlying soft tissue to move with the strap as it is drawn tight. This tends to draw soft tissues underlying the strap into the ratchet or buckle device, pinching the soft tissue and creating a region of very high localized pressure which will cause unnecessary injury. This effect may also create high shearing stresses in the underlying soft tissues, increasing the probability of nerve and tissue injury. Friction between the strap and the limb may also create regions of low pressure by preventing tension from being distributed evenly in the strap around the

Different combinations of the segment may be use to display a desire number, for example all 7 segment may be used to display an 8. To trip a segment of a conventional LCD panel, two control lines (a common line and a section line) may be powered to select the hope segment. The control line of an LCD may be configured into a matrix with the coarse lines crossing the segment lines — no common line cross common lines and no segment lines thwart segment lines in this control matrix. Thus, for an LCD display with 32 segments, there could be four common lines and 8 segment lines. By powering the right combination of section and common lines, a LCD panel may expose desire information. To control a larger number of segments additional control line and additional drivers may be required. However, the current push is for LCD panels with more segments being drive from fewer inputs.

 Loss of blood is a major cause of death in emergency situation in which the injured person is alone or medical aid is not immediately available. The use of a compression bandage to stop blood personnel casualty from an injured arm or leg is a well - sleep together technique for preventing death in these situations.

 Tourniquets of the prior art beget inward radial compression on the limb by being put into high levels of circumferential latent hostility when wrapped around the limb. As the press on the limb increases, the friction between the strap and the limb also increases, cause the underlying soft tissue to move with the strap as it is pull back tight. This tends to draw soft tissues underlie the strap into the ratchet or buckle device, pinching the soft tissue and create a region of very high place pressure which will cause unnecessary injury. This effect may also create gamey shearing stresses in the underlying soft tissues, increasing the probability of nerve and tissue injury.
