Abstract:
A wireless network of surgical consoles and other equipment is used to transfer data. A surgical console has a system processor running software that operates the surgical console and a wireless processor coupled to the system processor. The wireless processor runs software that facilitates wireless communication. A transceiver is coupled to the wireless processor. The system processor is physically separate from the wireless processor. The wireless processor is used to transfer data to other devices and receive software updates.
Abstract:
The present invention includes a technique for use with magnetic resonance imaging that includes the application of a non-linear, higher-order gradient field in the presence of a moving object to be scanned. MR data is acquired as the object moves through the non-linear gradient field. Resulting images are contiguous and do not require the patching together of data in either k-space or image space and result in an image with expanded FOV in a longitudinal direction of the moving object.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for monitoring a paging signal from a mobile switch to a cellular transmitter for occurrences of congestion. The system includes a switch; a cell site in communication with the switch, for broadcasting a page received from the switch to a cellular device configured to receive the page; and a monitoring module in communication with the switch for monitoring occurrences of paging congestion between the switch and the cell site.
Abstract:
A display panel for use on a golf cart is composed of layered transparent panels and frame members adhered together. Two transparent panels are separated by a set of spacer members to form a cavity between the transparent panels. The cavity is accessible via an opening at one end of the display panel and is sealed with a removable spacer member inserted between the transparent panels. Two frame members are adhered respectively to each of the two transparent panels. The display panel is mounted to the canopy supports of a golf cart with clamps attached to each end of the display panel.
Abstract:
An imaging method for an MRI system includes identifying a low signal region within a scanning volume. An overlap calculation of the scanning volume is generated. The low signal region is substantially eliminated from the overlap calculation thereby generating an adjusted overlap structure. A SENSE calculation is generated in response to the adjusted overlap structure.
Abstract:
An electrical connector installation tool for electrical connectors that include a main body and a screw-on end cap. The electrical connector installation tool includes a separate end cap tool and main body tool. The end cap tool and the main body tool may be structured to be hand gripped and hand turned around the tool body. To accommodate different electrical connectors of different sizes or different types, the end cap tool may include a pair of end cap sockets positioned on opposite ends of a hollow interior within the end cap tool. The end cap sockets may be sized and shaped to receive and turn screw-on end caps of different sizes. For example, one end cap socket could be sized and shaped to accommodate MC4 electrical connectors while the other end cap socket could accommodate H4 electrical connectors with larger screw-on end caps.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a roof safety anchor capable of permanent and watertight attachment to a roof. Installation of the roof safety anchor does not require the removal of roof shingles. The roof safety anchor captures a D-ring and a roof fastener between a base and a lid. The roof fastener extends through the base and a gasket to secure the roof safety anchor to the roof.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a base unit that may be used to demobilize a vehicle. The base unit may include a microprocessor, a relay connected to the microprocessor, and at least one transceiver connected to the microprocessor. In example embodiments, the microprocessor may be configured to receive data related to a number of time increments to count, count a number of time increments, and activate the relay when it determines that no more time is to be counted.
