Abstract: In an example embodiment, a system of lifting, lowering and rotating a display may include a housing, a rotator, and a hoist. The rotator may be configured to selectively rotate the housing such that a display functionally coupled to the housing is rotated. The rotator may include an anchor and a rotating portion. The anchor may be configured to be attached to an elevated surface. The rotating portion may be configured to be functionally coupled to the housing, and configured to rotate relative to the anchor. The hoist may include a member and a hoist motor. The hoist motor may be configured to selectively rotate the member such that a cable functionally coupled to the member is wound about the member when the member is rotated in a first direction, and the cable is unwound from the member when the member is rotated in a second direction.

Abstract: A load bearing surface assembly has an oriented, molded load bearing surface intersecured with a relatively rigid orienting member. The characteristics of the orienting member are selected such that the orienting member provides a rigid edge member for holding the load bearing surface during the orienting process and/or for mounting the load bearing surface to a support structure. A pair of orienting members are mounted to opposed edges of the load bearing surface. The load bearing surface may be integrally molded into a unitary construction with the orienting member(s). Methods for manufacturing a load bearing surface having an orienting member and a load bearing surface assembly with a load bearing surface and an orienting member are also disclosed.

Abstract: An illustrative mounting arm for a light fixture provides multiple tilt angles based on the selected orientation of components of the mounting arm. The mounting arm includes a first and second arm portion, each having opposite ends oriented at different relative angles to provide the multiple tilt angles for the light. A support end arm or second arm portion connects directly or indirectly to a wall or other support structure. An intermediate or first arm portion couples between the second arm portion and a mounting pad portion of the light fixture. Each of the first and second arm portions are rotatable in orientation, thus changing the orientation of the angle ends, each combination of possible arm portion orientations displacing the light fixture and therefore the illumination pattern at a different elevation angle relative to the support structure.

Abstract: A cardiovascular surgical clamp used for retaining, identifying and positioning surgical wire for patients on a sterile field without wire injury. Opposing members with opposing recessed surfaces and back end portions are provided having removable compressible inserts with large flat matching surface areas inserted into the recesses of opposing members. The opposing members have spring/s located between them for driving them together and for manually opening them apart and have hinges formed on projecting struts for allowing simultaneous contact of the large flat matching surface areas of the removable compressible inserts for frictional engagement of wire without injury. The projecting struts of the opposing members provide guide wire surfaces proximate where hinges are formed for guiding wire there through. The opposing members and the projecting struts are moved from a closed to open position and back by compression or release of back end portions of the opposing members.

Abstract: A retainer for retaining an elongate flexible element on a support and comprising a perimeter wall defining an interior, with the perimeter wall having opposite ends each having end edges defining end openings. A capture slot extends between the opposite ends of the perimeter wall. The capture slot is defined by a pair of slot edges on the perimeter wall, and the slot edges extend from a first one of the end edges to a second one of the end edges. The capture slot extends along a convoluted path between the opposite ends that requires forming at least one bend in the flexible element to move the element through the capture slot and into the interior of the perimeter wall.
