  • Publication number: 20240164463
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for an intelligent laboratory lockbox. The intelligent laboratory lockbox includes a vault unit and one or more presence sensors configured to detect a presence of a specimen within the one or more compartments of the vault unit. The presence sensor(s) may generate a load status based on sensing a specimen in the vault unit, wherein the load status includes one of a loaded status or an unloaded status. A control unit is operably connected to at least the vault unit and the one or more presence sensors. The control unit is configured to modify a specimen pickup workflow based on the load status.

  • Publication number: 20240156467
    Abstract: A compression device is used to increase intra-luminal pressure within the upper esophageal sphincter of a patient in order relieve an impact of an abnormal or defective upper esophageal sphincter anatomy, physiology, or functionality. In one implementation, the compression device is used in conjunction with an external pressure sensing device to determine the external pressure that is to be applied to the cricoid for a specific patient. The compression device can be a means for the management and/or treatment of abnormal upper esophageal sphincter functionality, or a means for strengthening an esophageal sphincter of a subject, or a means for curing esophageal reflux disease of a subject, or a means for improving vocal function in a subject, or a means for managing lung aspiration, or a means for applying cricoid pressure during anesthesia intubation, or a means for stabilizing body structures such as during medical imaging or radiation treatment.

  • Patent number: 11926508
    Abstract: A retaining mechanism for a clevis hook assembly with an axial device that provides a retaining mechanism for a load pin. The axial device is disposed inside a first opening behind the load pin. The axial device may provide a retention mechanism to obstruct the load pin when the load pin is inserted into the first opening of one of the pair of opposed members and extends across a space into the first opening in the other opposed member.

  • Patent number: 8400470
    Abstract: A method is provided for displaying a client-side multi-component image. A plurality of image component channels derived from captured images of a sample are stored in a server, the plurality of image component channels being stored in the form of a plurality of image data records. A client then requests one or more of the plurality of image data records and the server transmits to the client the one or more of the plurality of image data records requested. At the client, the client-side multi-component image is composited from the image data records transmitted the composited client-side multi-component image is displayed.
