  • Patent number: 6652453
    Abstract: A laryngoscope for use in intubating a patient's trachea, in routine and emergency situations. The laryngoscope has a camera mounted in the vicinity of a distal end of its probe to observe the patient's trachea opening and transmit a signal to a display on the handle. The distal end of the probe also includes ovoid, generally C-shaped gripping means, a pair of elongated grasping lips on the gripping means, and an internal clamping assembly for controlling the gripping means.

  • Publication number: 20010008191
    Abstract: An electrical power generating system is described for generating electrical energy for an electric vehicle, via the motion of the non-drive wheels, which converts kinetic energy to electrical energy to replenish the batteries of said vehicle. The preferred version places one or more alternator/generator(s) at the non-driven wheels of the vehicle. Each alternator/generator is unitarily formed with respect to a mounting plate unitarily formed with respect to said mounting plate and said vehicle's suspension, and each alternator/generator includes a rotating field means integrated with the rotating mounting plate attached to the wheel and a stationary stator means stationarily attached to the frame through the suspension. Conventional electrical contact means attached to between said rotating field means and said stationary stator means for generating electrical current for said vehicle.
