  • Publication number: 20220071851
    Abstract: An assembly for attachment to a gastrostomy feeding tube is provided. The assembly comprises a valve connector and an anchor. The valve connector comprises a housing, a conduit traversing the housing from an inlet to an outlet; and a retaining element extending outwardly from the housing. The anchor comprises an anchor housing configured to receive a portion of the valve connector. The anchor housing has a gastrostomy feeding tube attachment feature for attaching the anchor to the feeding tube, and a valve connector retaining feature that defines a retaining space, wherein the retaining space receives the retaining element of the valve connector and is sized to enable rotation of the retaining element and the valve connector relative to the anchor such that the conduit of the valve connector maintains fluid connection with the gastrostomy feeding tube during rotation. Additional assemblies and systems are also provided for other medical devices.

  • Patent number: 6084978
    Abstract: A system which captures multiple planar images of a scene taken from different perspectives and decomposes each of the captured those images into multiresolution images for storage in a distributable storage medium, such as an optical disk. The images on the storage medium are linked through a directory structure. During retrieval the user is allowed to browse various resolution images for selection purposes. After selection of the image, designation of the media type and designation of desired output resolution, the system reconstructs the images. The reconstructed images are converted into a depth image by interleaving slices of the images and then the depth image is output. Conversion into a depth image may require the creation of intermediate perspective views using interpolation.
