In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes determining whether a medium in a drive is in motion, the drive being mounted in a receptacle, in response to determining that the medium is in motion, preventing physical removal of the drive from the receptacle, and in response to determining that the medium is not in motion, allowing physical removal of the drive from the receptacle. In another embodiment, a computer program product for controlling removal of a drive includes a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith. The computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se. The program instructions are readable and/or executable by a computer to cause the computer to perform the foregoing method.

Disclosed is an electronic digital postcard device comprising, a body housing a display, the housing defining a dimension of the device, where the dimension is at least one dimension of a postcard, and a port configured to receive an electronic media presentation, the electronic digital postcard being configured to store and playback a received electronic media presentation. Further, a method of delivering a digital postcard is disclosed.

In accordance with disclosed embodiments, there are provided systems, methods, and apparatuses for implementing video shooting guns and personal safety management applications. An exemplary personal safety device may include, for example, a processor and a memory to execute instructions; a rechargeable battery to electrically power the personal safety device; a front facing video camera to capture video data of a scene anterior to a front face of the personal safety device; a rear facing video camera to capture video data of a scene posterior to a rear of the personal safety device; an audio capture device to capture audio data from an environment within which the personal safety device is to operate; a trigger to initiate recording of the front facing video camera, the rear facing video camera, and the audio capture device when triggered by an operator of the personal safety device; and a transceiver to transmit the recorded video data from the front and rear cameras and the captured audio data to a remote location over a network. According to another embodiment, a holster operates in conjunction with a body camera to activate audio and video capture and streaming upon removal of a firearm from the holster. Other related embodiments are disclosed.

A disc device of the present disclosure includes a plurality of magazine units aligned in height direction of the disc device. Each of the magazine units includes a plurality of magazine holders each storing at least one magazine, a rail that is slidable in depth direction of the disc device along a side of a housing of the disc device and has higher stiffness than the magazine holders, and a box-shaped handle mounted to a front end of the rail to extend in width direction of the disc device. The plurality of magazine holders is arranged in depth direction of the disc device. The rail holds the plurality of magazine holders at one side of the magazine holder. The handle extends from the front end of the rail toward a free-end side of the magazine holders and includes a recessed engagement portion that admits a finger in depth direction of the disc device and enables the finger to engage when each of the magazine units is pulled out in depth direction of the disc device.
