Abstract:
Magnetic resonance systems, devices, methods, and compositions are provided. A nuclear magnetic resonance imaging composition includes, but is not limited to, a plurality of target-selective ferromagnetic microstructures configured to generate a time-invariant magnetic field within at least a portion of one or more internal surface-defined voids.
Abstract:
A system for delivering optical power over optical conduits includes at least one optical power source delivering multiple optical power forms to multiple outlet nodes in a variety of applications.
Abstract:
A network for delivering optical power over an optical conduit includes at least one optical power source delivering optical power to multiple outlet power subsystems the subsystem managing demands for power from the multiple outlet sinks.
Abstract:
Described embodiments include a system, an apparatus, and a method. A described system includes a portable energy source configured to supply electrical or radiant power and configured to be carried proximate to a first body portion of a health care provider. The system also includes a power-output connector configured to releasably couple with a power-receiving connector connected to a handheld medical device, the power-output connector configured to be carried proximate to a second body portion at a position distal of a shoulder joint of the health care provider. If coupled, the power-output connector and the power-receiving connector are operable to transfer the electrical or radiant power supplied by the portable energy source. The system further includes a connective structure configured to transfer the electrical or radiant power supplied by the portable energy source between the portable energy source and the power-output connector.
Abstract:
Described embodiments include a system, apparatus, and method. A described wearable power supply system configured to be usable after sterilization includes a portable energy source configured to supply electrical or radiant power, and configured to be carried by a person proximate to a first body portion of the person. The system also includes a portable power-output device configured to interact with a power-receiving device connected to a powerable handheld device, and configured to be carried by the person proximate to a second body portion at a position distal of a shoulder joint of the person. If interacting, the supplied electrical or radiant power is transferred from the portable power-output device to the power-receiving device. The system further includes a connective structure configured to transfer the supplied electrical or radiant power between the portable energy source and the power-output device.
Abstract:
Described embodiments include a system, an apparatus, and a method. A described system includes a portable energy source configured to supply electrical or radiant power, and configured to be carried proximate to a first body portion of a health care provider. The system also includes a portable power transmitter configured to wirelessly transfer the electrical or radiant power supplied by the portable energy source from the portable energy source to a wireless power receiver connected to a handheld medical device. The system further includes a connective structure configured to transfer the electrical or radiant power supplied by the portable energy source between the portable energy source and the portable power transmitter, and configured to be carried proximate to the body of the health care provider.
Abstract:
A system for delivering more than one optical power form and at least one control signal over an optical conduit includes control circuitry for controlling characteristics of the optical power system.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and other modalities are described for (a) obtaining an indication relating to an emission module (which may be dangerous, e.g.) or its user (who may be untrained, e.g.) and for (b) configuring the module or causing an irradiation (for imaging, e.g.) in response to the indication.
Abstract:
Solutions for limiting the undesirable spread of pathogens by indirect contact are provided. The solutions involve event-controlled self-sterilization of contact surfaces on articles or fixtures. A self-sterilizing contact surface structure allows chemical sterilizing agents to controllably flow in response to a contact event, from within the article to exude upon a portion of the contact surface.
