Patent number: 9153050Abstract: A visualization system for visualizing data obtained in a borehole includes a processor configured to process the data based on user input and instructions and provide output for display on a display device. The system may also include a computer-readable medium configured to store the instructions, the instructions including commands to output values of two or more types of parameters at two or more depth values. The instructions may include commands to provide a perspective top-down or bottom-up fly-through display of the borehole including a zoomed-in image of values closest to a user. The processor may also output a display of a photographic image at each of the two or more depth values based on a correspondence between the values of the two or more types of parameters and the plurality of parameters associated with the photographic image.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2012Date of Patent: October 6, 2015Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: William T. Block, John G. Evans, Peter J. Guijt, Steven Pierce, William W. Scott, Joel W. Tarver, Mehran Richard Tayyab, Doron Hetz

Publication number: 20060293721Abstract: Method and apparatus for treating a patient with depression comprising continuously providing a therapy to treat the patient's depression. The therapy, in one embodiment, comprises stimulating a patient's vagus nerve for about 30 seconds at a current of about 0.75 mA followed by a cessation of vagus nerve stimulation of about 5 minutes. Further still, the therapy comprises a pulse width of about 500 ?s and a frequency of about 20 Hz. In another embodiment, the therapy comprises stimulating a patient's vagus nerve for about 25.07 seconds at a current of about 0.85 mA followed by a cessation of vagus nerve stimulation of about 4.07 minutes. This latter therapy also comprises a pulse width of about 415.20 ?s and a frequency of about 20.07 Hz.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2005Publication date: December 28, 2006Applicant: Cyberonics, Inc.Inventors: W.

Patent number: 5012821Abstract: A medical restraint apparatus (10) for use in securing a patient to a bed is provided. The apparatus (10) includes a web strap (12) which extends across the width of the bed and secured at its opposite ends to the bed frame. A pair of cuffs (20, 20') are mounted on the web strap (12) at spaced locations such that the patient's wrists will be held at his side. The cuffs (20, 20') are releasably secured on the web strap (12) at selected locations (58A, 58B) and the effective spacing between the locations at which the cuffs (20, 20') are mounted on the strap can be adjusted to accommodate patients of different sizes.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 1989Date of Patent: May 7, 1991Inventor: Charles W.
