Abstract: A radiography comfort device may be selectively attached to a panel of a medical imaging device. The radiography comfort device includes a woven microfiber fabric and a first adhesive that are both radiolucent. The woven microfiber fabric has a first surface and a second surface on opposing sides of the woven microfiber fabric. The first adhesive is laminated to the second surface of the woven microfiber fabric. When the radiography comfort device is attached to the panel of the medical imaging device using the first adhesive, the first surface of woven microfiber fabric is presented for contact by tissue of an individual being imaged. Further, a pad can be laminated to a portion of the periphery of the fabric to provide an edge cushion when the comfort device is attached to the panel.

Abstract: In one mode of an interface, a bounded area is displayed on a mobile device. A straight line is displayed that divides the bounded area into first and second areas. An angle of the line indicates an orientation of a first axis of the mobile device relative to a respective vector. In response to detecting the change in orientation of the second axis of the device relative to the vector, while maintaining the angle of the line at a first angle, a relative size of the first and second areas is changed in accordance with the change in orientation of the second axis. In a second mode, first and second bounded shapes are displayed. Positions of the bounded shapes with respect to each other are changed along one or more axes in response to a change in orientation of a surface of the mobile device relative to a respective vector.

Abstract: Surgical instruments providing access to delicate tissue, such as brain tissue, through a transcutaneous channel. A surgical access assembly has a pin component removably fastened to a cannula component such that rotational forces are translated between the pin component and the cannula component. The pin component is adapted to receive and secure a guide-pin component from a navigation system to assist in the proper initial placement of the surgical access assembly. The cannula component has features on the outer surface configured to facilitate insertion and retention of the surgical access assembly in the target delicate tissue. When desired, pin component can be removed from cannula component to reveal an inner cavity configured to provide access to the target delicate tissue and a working channel for the particular procedure to be performed.

Abstract: Systems and methods for deskewing parallel data lines using at least one extra channel in parallel to the parallel data lines to carry data for comparing to data on the parallel data lines.

Abstract: A mapping operation maps identified bytes of a transport overhead of a data stream to other unused areas of the overhead. A de-mapping operation maps the bytes mapped by the mapping operation back to the locations from which the bytes were moved. A passing operation is used to handle data stream transitions in which multiple tributaries are multiplexed into or out of a single connecting data stream.
