Abstract: Walker including a frame, a movement enabling system on the frame that enables the frame to be moved along a surface, and a cueing system that generates audio and/or visual cues to enable a user of the walker to be guided in their forward movement of the walker. The cueing system includes a control unit that generates signals based on stored content relating to cue generation, at least one cue generator that generates the audio and/or visual cues based on the signals generated by the control unit, and a communications module coupled to the control unit and that receives via at least one communications frequency transmissions to set or modify the stored content. The control unit sets or modifies the stored content based on the transmissions received by the communications module.

Abstract: Wheeled walker with an integrated safety system includes a frame, wheels on the frame to enable the frame to be manually moved along a surface, and a belt/tether apparatus including a belt adapted to be attached to a person using the walker and at least one tether connected at a first end region to the frame and at a second end region to the belt. The tether may include an elastic portion that provides a proportional tension as distance beyond a slack distance of the elastic portion increases. This limits separation of the walker from the person attached to the belt.

Abstract: Arrangement and method in which at least one server is coupled to imaging sources that obtain high resolution videos of scenic locations, a series of images constituting a video. Stream controllers are located at user sites and coupled to the server. The stream controllers are controlled, e.g., by user interfaces, to select one of the imaging sources to provide high resolution streaming video to the stream controller via the server. A display system is coupled to each stream controller and configured to display streaming video from the selected imaging source.

Abstract: Method for locating anomalous features in medical images in which medical images are supplied by an external source. A sequence of specific measurements is executed on the supplied data to obtain image-related metrics. The metrics are compared to corresponding values in a database resulting in an anomalous/not anomalous determination. Anomalous determinations are presented to the test operator for analysis along with supplemental historical data. In application to all types of medical imagery, potential anomalies are located resulting in an efficient and accurate diagnosis. For paired body parts having symmetrical properties, as a pre-screening stage, a line of symmetry between the body parts is determined and symmetric regions of the two body parts on opposite sides of the determined line of symmetry are analyzed for differences. The metric comparison using the database is performed between both symmetric regions only when differences between the symmetric regions of the subject medical image are present.

Abstract: Method and sequence for locating anomalous features in medical images in which medical images are supplied by an external source such as a CAT or XRAY scan machine or other similar device. A sequence of specific measurements is executed on the supplied data to obtain metrics relating to the images. The metrics are then compared to the corresponding values in an accompanying database resulting in an anomalous/not anomalous determination. Anomalous determinations are presented to the test operator for final analysis along with supplemental historical data. In application to all types of medical imagery, potential anomalies are quickly located resulting in an efficient and more accurate diagnosis.

Abstract: Electron beam profile testing and analysis method is introduced using the MOMS apparatus. The MOMS apparatus includes a Faraday Cup with a knife-wires scanning system which together perform simultaneous measurements. The scanning system has a five-dimensional processing mechanism for measuring different cross sections of an e-beam profile in a path of the e-beam. Measurements are conducted using the scanning system by virtually dividing each cross section into a plurality of subsections and measuring independent current values of at least one wire of the scanning system through which the electron beam passes from every pixel in each of the plurality of subsections. By providing relative movement between the scanning system and e-beam, the measured independent current values are analyzed to obtain the functional form of distribution of current density of the cross-section of the e-beam. The Faraday cup enables simultaneous measurement of the total value of the current.

Abstract: System that focuses electron beams in an electro-static area to a laminar flow of electrons with uniform distribution of current density and extraordinary demagnification includes a housing having a first interior portion and a second interior portion electrically insulated from the first interior portion. The second interior portion has an electric field-free space. An electrode system is disposed in the first interior portion and includes a cathode assembly and at least one anode assembly. The cathode assembly generates an electron beam that passes through each anode assembly and then into the electric field-free space in the second interior portion. A position of a crossover point on a longitudinal axis maybe regulated by varying dimensions of a substantially cylindrical portion of the anode assembly and a substantially cylindrical portion of a near-cathode electrode assembly.
