  • Publication number: 20210170190
    Abstract: Helmets for applying a magnetic field to the head of a subject, comprising: a housing comprising a concave surface configured to receive a portion of the head of the subject; a motor coupled to one or more of: a first permanent magnet via a first axle along a first axis of rotation, wherein the first axle drives movement of the first magnet; a second magnet via a second axle along a second axis of rotation wherein the second axle drives movement of the second magnet; and a third magnet via a third axle along the third axis of rotation wherein the third axle drives movement of the third magnet, wherein the axes are parallel; and a fit mechanism comprising a adjuster coupled to the first magnet, wherein movement of the adjustor moves the first magnet independently of the second or the third magnet.

  • Publication number: 20050125013
    Abstract: Surgical forceps, which have first and second elongate arms, are provided with gripping pads near the distal ends of the arms. The gripping pads are resilient so as to conform to the shape of an object being gripped between the arms. The surgical forceps is preferably provided with a locking mechanism for maintaining the forceps in the closed position in the absence of a gripping force. The surgical forceps are particularly well suited for gripping a suturing needle in a secure and predictable manner. The gripping pads are preferably sized for enclosing the distal pointed tip of the suturing needle. As a result, the forceps may be locked in the closed position with the needle tip fully enclosed for safe disposal.
