  • Publication number: 20240134393
    Abstract: A system and method for a motorized mobile chair use a plurality of sensors having a plurality of sensor types to detect a plurality of objects and generate sensor data about the detected objects, each of the detected objects being a person, the sensor data about the objects comprising a plurality of range measurements to the people and a plurality of bearing measurements to the people. The system has at least one processor to receive the sensor data about the people, group the detected people into a plurality of zones, determine a closest person in each zone, and generate one or more control signals to cause the motorized mobile chair to match a speed and a direction of the closest person in the zone corresponding to a direction of travel of the motorized mobile chair while at least approximately maintaining a selected space to the closest person in the zone corresponding to the direction of travel of the motorized mobile chair.

  • Patent number: 7959611
    Abstract: Disclosed is a urinary catheter immobilizer for immobilizing movement of a urinary catheter in a human body. The urinary catheter immobilizer comprises a funnel-shaped member and a body member configured to be received over the funnel-shaped member. The funnel-shaped member has a first end portion and a second end portion. The first end portion is capable of being received over a urinary meatus of the human body. The body member is configured to be received over the second end portion of the funnel-shaped member and capable of removably attaching to an external portion of the urinary catheter. The body member comprises a torus-shaped structure and at least one elongated tubular structure. The torus-shaped structure comprises at least one channel. The at least one channel is capable of receiving the at least one elongated tubular structure for looping around the torus-shaped structure for immobilizing the urinary catheter.

  • Patent number: 7060949
    Abstract: An end seal for a temperature sensing probe. Electrical interface wiring is passed through a restraining element and is operatively coupled to a temperature sensing element or heater element mounted in the sheath. The sheath is formed around the restraining element in a shape that provides a net force inward as temperature variations expand and contract the restraining element.
