Publication number: 20240090966Abstract: A surgical draping system includes an under-draping, an over-draping, and a connecting draping connected by the under-draping and the over-draping. The surgical draping system is used to establish and maintain a surgical corridor to a surgical site or sites on a patient supported by a surgical table. The surgical draping system can accommodate rotation of the patient on the surgical table, such that the sterile surgical corridor is maintained even during such rotation. The sterile surgical corridor extends through an aperture formed in the over-draping, through an enclosed passageway formed through the connecting draping, and through an aperture formed in the under-draping.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 28, 2023Publication date: March 21, 2024Inventors: Jeffrey W.

Patent number: 11857467Abstract: A surgical table includes a sagittal adjustment device for manipulating the position of a patient. The surgical table includes a base portion including an upper surface for spacing the sagittal adjustment device from the ground. The sagittal adjustment device includes a first support portion and a second support portion. The first and second support portions are supported by and moveable over the upper surface of the base portion. The first and second support portions each include an upper surface configured to support portions of the body of the patient thereon.

Publication number: 20200283823Abstract: Various approaches for generating long-distance contiguity information to facilitate contig assembly and phase determination are disclosed. Nucleic acids are assembled into complexes using binding moieties such that, when the nucleic acid backbones are cleaved, the ensuing fragments remain bound. Exposed ends are tagged and ligated either to one another or to tagging moieties such as oligo labels. Ligated junctions are sequenced, and the sequence information is used to assemble contigs into common scaffolds or to assign phase information. Various approaches to tagging the exposed ends are presented.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2019Publication date: September 10, 2020Inventors: Andrew FIELDS, Paul HARTLEY, Nicholas PUTNAM, Brandon RICE, Jonathan STITES

Patent number: 9856875Abstract: Air compressor systems, upgrade kits, computer readable medium, and methods for controlling an air compressor for improved performance. The methods may include receiving a working air requirement; determining an estimated air pressure of the air compressor to deliver the working air requirement; measuring a pressure of the air compressor; comparing the measured pressure with the calculated estimated air pressure; if the measured pressure of the air compressor is greater than the determined estimated air pressure by a predetermined greater amount, then decreasing an output control of the air compressor; and if the measured pressure of the air compressor is less than the calculated estimated air pressure by a predetermined lesser amount then increasing the output control of the air compressor. The air compressor may be controlled based on a measured pressure of delivered working air. An oil control system may shut off oil to parts of the air compressor.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2016Date of Patent: January 2, 2018Assignee: Sandvik Intellectual Property ABInventors: Grant Andrew Field, Simo Tanner, Karl Ingmarsson
