  • Publication number: 20220114719
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system for qualifying medical images submitted by user for diagnostic analysis comprising: an image input module, configured to receive one or more image input by a user; an image protocol conformation module, configured to receive the one or more images from the image input module, and further configured to analyze each of the one or more images for conformity with a predefined protocol and wherein images that do not conform to the predefined protocol are flagged as non-conforming images; an image output module, configured to identify to the user each of the one or more images flagged as non-conforming and prompting the user to resubmit a new image for each of the non-conforming images; and an image resubmission module, configured to receive the user resubmitted image and provide the resubmitted image to the image protocol conformation module.

  • Patent number: 11188103
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus and methods for providing personalized comfort to occupants of a conditioned space. A precision air device having a standalone controllable fan with directional nozzles is provided. The precision air device includes environmental and occupancy sensors, and communicates with a user device and with other precision air devices in the space. Application software installed on an occupant's user device enables the occupant to specify whether it is too cold or too warm within his or her personal space, or microzone. The collective demand of all microzones within a VAV macrozone is determined by a precision air aggregator to adjust a controllable VAV damper for that macrozone.

  • Patent number: 11097927
    Abstract: A lifting machine with a counterweight includes a sensing system for assisting in ensuring proper operating conditions are reliably achieved. The machine includes a lifter for moving the counterweight from a lowered position to a raised position. A first sensor is associated with the lifter for sensing a parameter corresponding to an amount of the counterweight (such as a pressure value associated with the rod end of a lifting cylinder), and a second sensor is provided for sensing a condition of the lifter (such as the position or extended length of the lifting cylinder). The amount of counterweight present may be determined by the output of the first sensor when the lifter is in a pre-determined (e.g., midpoint) position. The operator may be polled to verify the amount of counterweight present, thus providing a check against unintended operating conditions and ensure that reliable operation of the lifting machine is achieved.

  • Patent number: 10953980
    Abstract: An aircraft assembly having: a first part; a second part, the first part being movably mounted relative to a second part; a dynamic conduit arranged such that movement of the first part relative to the second part causes the dynamic conduit to move through a movement volume from a first conduit position to a second conduit position; a first fastener arranged to couple a component to the aircraft assembly, at least some of the first fastener residing within the movement volume of the dynamic conduit; and a safety guide arranged to be coupled to the first fastener, the safety guide comprising a bridge portion which extends away from the first fastener within the movement volume of the dynamic conduit so as to support the dynamic conduit when the dynamic conduit is in the second conduit position.

  • Publication number: 20160166243
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for treating damaged or diseased valves are disclosed. A representative embodiment includes an elongated shaft having a longitudinal axis, a proximal portion, and a distal portion, and a dissection arm at the distal portion. The dissection arm can have a longitudinal axis and be moveable between a low-profile state and a deployed state. In the deployed state, a portion of the arm can flex outwardly away from the longitudinal axis of the shaft. The arm is configured to be deployed within a space within a vessel wall such that, as the arm moves from the low-profile state to the deployed state, the arm pushes against vessel wall tissue at a periphery of the space, thereby separating tissue at the periphery to form a dissection pocket having a predetermined shape.

  • Publication number: 20130245430
    Abstract: Medical devices and methods are described that include catheter systems for use in vasculature. The catheter systems include a re-entry catheter for use with numerous guide wires to direct the guide wire from the extraluminal or subintimal space back into a true lumen after the guide wire has entered the subintimal space. An example of the re-entry catheter is a single lumen catheter configured to facilitate placement and positioning of guide wires and catheters within vasculature. An embodiment places and positions guide wires and catheters within peripheral vasculature. More specifically, the re-entry catheter provides for re-entry of a guide wire back into the true lumen of peripheral vasculature from a subintimal space.
