Abstract: A stabilizing base includes one or more legs and a platform attached to the one or more legs. One or more of a height of the platform relative to an operating table, a position of the platform along a width of the operating table, a position of the platform along a length of the operating table, and an angular position of the platform relative to the operating table can be adjusted.

Abstract: A latching apparatus for mounting and dismounting a housing, such as a modular split flap housing for display, that releasably secures a plug-in modular unit against a corresponding back plate including latches for fastening and securing to a stationary panel and a sliding member that is slidable from a first unlocked offset position to a second locked offset position provided to stabilize the plug-in modular unit against a surface of the back plate.

Abstract: An endoscopic system may include a catheter or tubing and at least one optical sensor disposed along the catheter or tubing and configured to capture image information from a body lumen when disposed within the body lumen and activated. The system may further include an untethered module operatively arranged with the at least one optical sensor and configured to store or transmit image information captured by the at least one optical sensor. The catheter or tubing, at least one optical sensor and module may be portable during use.

Abstract: A system adapted to provide a flow of gas to an airway of a patient. The system comprises a first conduit, a second conduit, an interface appliance, and a retention assembly. The first conduit has a proximal end and a distal end. The second conduit has a proximal end and a distal end. The interface appliance has an inlet opening, an outlet opening, and one or more airway openings. The inlet opening is engaged with the proximal end of the first conduit such that the flow of gas is provided from the first conduit to the interface appliance at the engagement between the inlet opening and the proximal end of the first conduit. The one or more airway openings are adapted to deliver a portion of the flow of gas to the airway of the patient. The outlet opening is engaged with the proximal end of the second conduit such that a portion of the flow of gas is released from the interface appliance into the second conduit at the engagement between the outlet opening and the proximal end of the second conduit.
