Abstract: Systems and methods for enhancement of a coupled zone of a 3D stereoscopic display. The method may include determining a size and a shape of the coupled zone. The coupled zone may include a physical volume specified by the user's visual depth of field with respect to screen position of the 3D stereoscopic display and the user's point of view. Content may be displayed at a first position with a virtual 3D space and the first position may correspond to a position within the coupled zone. It may be determined that the content is not contained in the coupled zone or is within a specified distance from a boundary of the coupled zone and, in response, display of the content may be adjusted such that the content has a second position in the virtual 3D space that corresponds to another position within the coupled zone.

Abstract: A battery cartridge and kiosk apparatus, system and method, which enables consumers to conveniently exchange depleted rechargeable batteries for fully-charged batteries, and to recycle used primary batteries. The system includes a self-contained, typically automated kiosk designed for high volume battery exchange at low cost, and also includes re-usable battery trays for convenient, safe, and standardized handling and transport of rechargeable consumer batteries. A kiosk of the invented system may also be configured to utilize renewable-energy mechanisms to provide power for operation and/or recharging. Rechargeable batteries are stored and managed in a high-density, simple yet reliable storage rack wherein they are recharged in parallel while preserving long battery life. Batteries may be “keyed” to prevent recharging via third-party charging devices, enabling operating efficiencies and cost reductions.

Abstract: An anatomic handle for surgical precision scalpel includes a first upper curved body anatomically corresponding to the curved direction of the forefinger, a second underlying body prolonging the first one, having an asymmetrical overturned-saddle shape, a central are area determined by the combination of the first upper body and the second underlying body, two equal and opposite heads to the two terminal parts of the first curved body constituting on the upper part an ergonomic handle, said the heads presenting each on the lateral side the joint for an interchangeable blade. The peculiarity of the handle is that its morphological characteristics allow several different grips according to the peculiar surgical situation in which the scalpel is used.

Abstract: An anatomic handle for surgical precision scalpel comprising a first upper curved body (4) anatomically corresponding to the curved direction of the forefinger, a second underlying body prolonging the first one, having an asymmetrical overturned-saddle shape (31), a central are determined by the combination of the first upper body and the second underlying body, two equal and opposite heads to the two terminal parts of the first curved body constituting on the upper part an ergonomic handle, said heads presenting each on the lateral side the joint for an interchangeable blade. The peculiarity of said handle according to the invention is that its morphological characteristics allow several different grips according to the peculiar surgical situation in which the scalpel is used.

Abstract: An eating utensil suitable for use by individuals having hand impairments includes a head portion which may be a fork, spoon or knife, and a handle portion. The handle portion has an arcuate, flared configuration which is anatomically designed to correspond to the natural shape of an individual's hand such that it can be grasped in different hand positions depending on the head portion used and the nature of the individual's hand impairment.

Abstract: An eating utensil for use by the arthritic, neuromuscular impaired, persons lacking various fingers, as well as the general public. The utensil can be easily grasped with the minimal clasping motion by persons with hands of various sizes and possesssing only one finger. The utensil includes a handle (12) which permits the person's index finger (20) and palm to be supported entirely along the upper surface of the utensil. The upper surface of the utensil may or may not be flared (14 and 17) and grooved (15), allowing for maximum weight to be exerted onto the forward end (13) of the utensil be it in the form of a fork or knife.
