Methods and devices are provided whereby a controlled personal breathing zone is maintained using temperature controlled laminar air flow (TLA) of filtered air. A substantially laminar, descending flow of filtered air is maintained with a velocity determined by the air-temperature difference between the supplied air and the ambient air at the level of the personal breathing zone. The air-temperature of the filtered supply air can be carefully adjusted to maintain the velocity-determining difference in air-temperature within the optimum range of 0.3 to 1° C. Thus being able to at the same time displace body convection and achieve comfort.

Принадлежит: Arthrex Inc

A patient lower extremity positioning system that is configured to facilitate easier use of surgical instruments during open and arthroscopic procedures of the lower extremity, including, but not limited to the hip joint, acetabulum, femur, femoral neck and femoral shaft is disclosed. The patient lower extremity positioning system may include one or more perineal pads configured to be supported adjacent to a patient torso support such that the perineal pad is positionable adjacent to a patient's perineum. The perineal pad may be formed from a perineal pad body coupled to a distal transition section extending distally from the perineal pad body. The distal transition section may have a distal tip with a cross-sectional area that is less than a cross-sectional area of the perineal pad body, thereby enabling a surgeon to more easily position surgical instruments during surgery without the perineal pad conflicting with the surgical instruments.

Shape reflector and surface contour mapping

Номер: US20130201325A1
Автор: Nicholas Alan Rundle, Patrick KESSLER
Принадлежит: Apple Inc

The three dimensional surface shape of one or more layers of a reflective object is determined by examining one or more captured images reflected from the reflective object. Curved surfaces reflect a distorted image altered by the surface shape. By analyzing one or more captured images of the distorted reflected images, the shape of the surface that caused the distortion is estimated. A captured distorted image is compared to a reference undistorted image having known geometric properties. A system to capture and process such images is assembled from components including an image capture assembly such as a digital camera to capture reflected images and a positioning assembly on which to orient the components with respect to each other. Multiple surface layers of the reflective object are separately estimated using polarizations, luminance levels, chroma values or combinations thereof contained in one or more captured images.

An inflatable pillow is invented to provide an effective and efficient method to improve the oral intubation procedure in the pre-hospital setting, both in the ground and air ambulances along with emergency rooms in hospitals to eliminate intubation failures. The inflatable pillow comprises a bladder body and an air valve. The air valve is distally positioned on the body so that the air valve is not in the way when a user is positioning a patient's head on the pillow. Thus, the inflatable pillow can be positioned or moved more towards the patient's neck and shoulder area for a better head position or view of the vocal cords. Additionally, the inflatable pillow can be used to adjust the height of the patient's head by inflating and/or deflating the pillow through the air valve prior to and/or during the first pass intubation procedure, thus, making the intubation procedure more reliable. 1. An inflatable pillow for fitting under a patient's head to create an alignment for sniffing position prior to and during an intubation procedure comprising:a body;an air valve;the body being an air-tight bladder;the body comprising a front; andthe air valve being terminally and distally positioned on the front of the body.2.

A scanning table is provided to measure a patient's weight accurately. The scanning table may include a table body, for supporting a human body; a lifting system, for driving the table body to go up and down; and a force-measuring component connected with the lifting system, for measuring a support force which is imposed on the table body by the lifting system. Because the support force to the table body by the lifting system is related to positions of a patient and the table body. When the lifting system is connected with the force-measuring component, a force measured by the force-measuring component can reflect the patient's weight accurately and truly. The force-measuring component can measure a change of the support force, which is combined with related data of the table body to obtain the patient's weight. Therefore, the measurement accuracy can be improved.
