    Abstract: An image acquisition system that uses multiple cameras or image sensors in a redundant camera array. The cameras or sensors are arrayed in rows and columns so that a viewing area of each camera overlaps a viewing area of an adjacent camera. At least one camera is positioned in the array so that all edges of its viewing area abuts the viewing area of an adjacent camera. The image is displayed or stored in seamless and continuous form in high resolution. The system may also be used in low light conditions for image acquisition. Multiple cameras or sensors may be arrayed on modular panels that mates with and adjacent modular panel. The system is adaptable to image acquisition for X-rays, scanning, photocopying, security systems and the like.

    Abstract: A foot operated control for electrical circuits that includes a foot rest, and at least one switch that is housed and mounted in a recess formed in a selected portion of the foot rest. The foot rest having a selected profile defining a horizontal portion and at least one inclined portion. A pivoting axis is formed at an intersection of the horizontal portion and the inclined portion adjacent thereto. The switch is actuated as and when the foot rest portion is tilted in a selected direction about the pivot axis so that an operator of the switch contacts a supporting surface or floor. The foot control may be configured for controlling multiple distinct circuits by way or a corded or cordless operation. This foot control may include elastomer boots or an elastomeric covered bottom cover for providing environmental protection. Preferably, the foot control includes a safety interlock, for minimizing the accidental actuation of the circuits when an operators foot is not present.

    Abstract: A cordless control system for actuating selected functions of a mobile X-ray unit. This cordless control system comprises a transmitter and a receiver. The portable transmitter is hand held and includes a first control switch, a second control switch, and an infrared emitting circuit. The infrared emitting circuit includes a plurality programmable encoding switches. Each of the programmable encoding switches are user switchable for emitting at least one binary coded infrared signal. The receiver includes a plurality of infrared sensors and a receiving circuit. The receiving circuit includes a plurality of programmable decoding switches. Each of the infrared sensors is arrayed for receiving each binary coded signal being sent by the transmitter. The receiving circuit in cooperation with the decoding switches providing actuation of the selected functions only when the plurality of encoding switches and the decoding switches are programmed exactly alike and only when either of the first control switch or the second control switch is manually actuated. The transmitter also includes a distinguishing means to provide sensory indication to the user of an intermediate position of the first control switch.
