Abstract: A circuit and supplemental power source connection scheme for a telecommunications modem transmission link are described. The supplemental power source is connectable at any point along a telecommunications wire, including the terminals of repeaters and remote terminals. The combiner circuit includes a diode bridge for ensuring the proper connection of externally connected high voltage power to internal circuitry of the power combiner. The combiner also includes a line polarity matching circuit that automatically configures to signally connect internal positive and negative voltage signals to corresponding positive and negative external signal lines on a telecommunications modem transmission link.

Abstract: Mini C-arm apparatus for x-ray fluoroscopic imaging having a base or cabinet, an articulated arm assembly connected thereto, a support arm assembly carried by the articulated arm assembly, a C-arm slidably mounted in the support arm assembly, and an x-ray source assembly including an x-ray source and an image receptor assembly including an image receptor respectively mounted at opposed locations on the C-arm such that x-rays emitted by the x-ray source impinge on the image receptor, wherein one of the source and image receptor assemblies includes a control panel that permits activation of predefined functions of the x-ray fluoroscopic imaging apparatus.
