    摘要: A swivel apparatus couples an electrical conductor connected to an electrical device, such as a hand held, bar code scanner. The swivel apparatus includes a housing with a first end portion fixedly connectable to an electrical device and a freely movable second end portion. The second end portion rotates about the first end portion to convert bending forces exerted on the electrical conductor supported by the second end portion into movement of the second end portion with respect to the first end portion and twisting of the electrical conductor in a direction to relieve such bending forces on the electrical conductor. In one embodiment, the housing includes a base fixedly attached to the bar code scanner. The base includes an outwardly extending annular flange spaced from the main body of the base by a recess. A two-part clamp having first and second end portions is rotatingly mounted on the base. The first end portion of the two part clamp is rotatingly mounted about the annular flange and the recess on the base. The second end of the clamp is disposed at a predetermined angle with respect to the first end portion. The combination of the angle between the first and second end portions of the clamp and the rotatable mounting of the clamp with respect to the base causes the swivel apparatus to rotate in the direction of forces exerted on an electrical conductor extending through the swivel connector into the electrical device to minimize bending of the electrical conductor.

    摘要: A light therapy apparatus is described that includes a housing, a laser mounted in the interior of the housing, and a control circuit that controls the laser according to a control program. The housing includes an opening extending through a first surface of the housing from an interior of the housing. The first surface is perpendicular to the bottom of the housing. The laser is mounted in the interior of the housing so as to output laser light in a direction perpendicular to the bottom of the housing, and the housing and the laser are arranged so that eyes of a user are shielded from direct contact with the laser light output by the laser by the laser light output from the laser being indirectly output through the opening.

    摘要: A light therapy apparatus includes a pad comprising at least a first layer and a second layer and a side scattering light guide mounted between the first layer and the second layer and having a first end and a second end. The first end and the second end extend in parallel with each other externally from the pad, the side scattering light guide extends from at least one of the first end or the second end in a sinusoidal shape or an inward extending circular spiral between the first layer and the second layer, and at least one of the first layer or the second layer is translucent.

    摘要: An illuminatable apparatus includes a fabric sheet containing fiber optic rods interwoven with fabric threads. The ends of the fiber optic rods are bundled together to form a ferrule which is removably insertable into a holder carrying a light source and a power source. An outer ferrule can be fixed over the sleeve-like ferrule or robust applications. The holder may be removably attached to articles of clothing. The illuminatable fabric sheet can be used as an optical bandage, in a medical cast, in a negative pressure device, or in a bed pad/sheet, or in a therapeutic brace support.

    摘要: A system for non-contact measurement of thickness of a test object. A laser beam is split into two identical directly opposed input beams. A calibration object of known thickness causes beams to be reflected from sides of the test object. Each reflected beam passes through sensing means including a pinhole aperture and a photodiode sensor. Maximum sensor output defines first and second focal points a known distance apart. The calibration object is removed, and the test object is inserted into the path of the input beams, creating focus position intensity curves for the reflected beams. By determining the deviation, at maximum photodiode output, of the positions of the test object reflecting surfaces from the positions of the calibration object surfaces, the test object thickness can be readily and accurately determined.
