Abstract: Safety non-compliance and, simultaneously, productivity metrices are computed and tracked. Objects of interest (such as technicians, tools, cranes, slings, gloves, assets) are identified and tracked from real time streams of cameras through the application of several filtration processes (boundary based, aspect-ratio based, intersection-over-union based, dice coefficient-based, and custom model bounding box filtration techniques) and are then projected onto a 2D homographic map which localizes their position. The localized position is filtered using custom time series and frequency-based filters and aggregated over a set of defined time ranges to obtain productivity and safety KPIs. Non-compliance detections are flagged with video recorded for the given time duration and anonymized with custom processes to ensure data privacy. Productivity KPIs are represented in a dashboard with readings collected at different time intervals like hourly, daily, weekly and monthly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing a lactose-reduced heat-treated milk-based product which comprises treatment of a milk-based substrate with a lactase and performing a heat treatment.

Abstract: A portable hand-held medical device includes a body having a gun-type formation that includes a barrel. A guide wire device is housed in the body and is configured to advance and retract through the barrel. The guide wire device carries a bundled arrangement including a video system, an illumination system to support the video system, a fluid irrigation line, and a guide wire mechanism. The bundled arrangement is packaged as a unit in an insertion tube. The tip section of the insertion tube incorporates a camera, a light source, and a fluid irrigation port. A catheter is disposed at the end of the barrel, so that during operation the guide wire device passes through the catheter lumen. The combination guide wire device and catheter enter the urinary tract and perform a bladder evacuation process.

Abstract: A system and method for video assisted percutaneous needle cricothyrotomy and tracheostomy to assist physicians in quickly intubating patients suffering from respiratory distress when oral or nasal intubation is not possible or contraindicated. The system and method includes a display monitor, a percutaneous needle assembly including a connection hub having a syringe port for removably attaching a syringe, a needle port for attaching a hollow needle, and a stylet port in communication with the needle port for receiving a fiber optic stylet that extends through the hollow needle. The fiber optic stylet includes one or more illuminators, and a camera for capturing and transmitting anatomical images for display on the display monitor to visually assist physicians in locating a patient's trachea lumen. The fiber optic stylet is positioned within the trachea lumen, and used as a guide wire to insert a dilator and cannula for ventilating the patient.

Abstract: A video laryngoscopy apparatus which facilitates selective depression of the epiglottis in the airway of a patient to facilitate unobstructed viewing of the vocal cords as well as ease in placement of an endotracheal tube in the patient's larynx during a video laryngoscopy procedure. The apparatus includes a head portion configured for attachment to a video laryngoscopy system. The apparatus includes a grip portion that extends from the head portion and an elongated, curved blade support segment that extends from the grip portion. A camera delimits the end of the blade support segment. The camera may functionally interface with the head portion to facilitate connection between the video cable and the camera system. The blade housing may extend from the blade support segment and include the blade that is coupled to a blade actuator that operably engages the blade to facilitate selective deployment of the blade.
