  • Patent number: 9326669
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate improving visualization associated with intubation. A dynamically articulating laryngoscope blade can be controlled to configure to normal anatomic variants and pathologic abnormalities to facilitate placing of an endotracheal tube into a patient's trachea. Further, cameras can be integrated into and/or mounted upon the dynamically articulating laryngoscope blade. The cameras can enable stereoscopic visualization of the laryngeal aperture allowing for depth perception. Moreover, the cameras can be moved independently of the blade allowing for optimal viewing of the laryngeal opening.

  • Patent number: 9295378
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate employing a universal handle that provides various functionality and communicates with various network(s), device(s), and the like. The universal handle can be a handheld device that is auto-configured to implement rich functionality. Further, the universal handle can support remote diagnostic, prognostic, and control capabilities. Moreover, the universal handle can mate with disparate device(s), network(s), instrument(s), node(s), universal handle(s), and so forth to communicate data there between. Applications of the universal handle can be medically related, industry related, military related, etc. The universal handle can collect data directly and/or by controlling managed external device(s); the collected data can thereafter be analyzed, aggregated, stored, transmitted, outputted, and so forth by the universal handle.

  • Patent number: 9167962
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate improving visualization associated with intubation. A dynamical articulating laryngoscope can include a handle assembly and a blade assembly. The blade assembly can further include a main blade assembly, a proximal blade assembly, and a distal blade assembly. A medium control articulation point can couple the main blade assembly and the proximal blade assembly, and a fine control articulation point can couple the distal blade assembly and the proximal blade assembly. Further, the proximal blade assembly can pivot relative to the main blade assembly around the medium control articulation point and/or the distal blade assembly can pivot relative to the proximal blade assembly around the fine control articulation point. Pivoting about the medium control articulation point and/or the fine control articulation point can be effectuated by one or more blade control components.

  • Publication number: 20110260625
    Abstract: Described are circuits and methods for powering one or more loads from an ac source using a capacitive ballast. The circuit comprises a capacitive voltage divider that limits current to the loads, includes a first capacitor that operates as a ballast creating a leading current draw relative to the voltage from an alternating current source, and includes a second capacitor that protects the set of light emitting diodes by suppressing line transients. The circuit is able to compensate for the predominately inductive power factor of typical residential and building loads (e.g., appliances, etc.), because of its leading current draw. As a consequence the circuit can utilize at least part of the inductive current load that would otherwise be reflected back to the source or wasted.

  • Publication number: 20100223073
    Abstract: The claimed subject matter provides systems and/or methods that facilitate disseminating patient related messages as part of a dynamic medical communication environment. A server can receive patient related messages from one or more message source components. Further, the server can broadcast the patient related messages to one or more subscription components as a function of identities of patients respectively corresponding to the patient related messages. Patients can be registered as object to which one or more subscription components can subscribe. Subscription components can automatically, manually, etc. subscribe to registered patients to receive message streams pertaining thereto. Moreover, a registered patient corresponding to a received patient related message can be identified, subscription components subscribed to the identified patient can be recognized, and the message can be broadcast to the recognized subscription components.
