Abstract: A method includes instructing an image capture device to move across an anatomy portion of a subject and capture a sequence of ultrasound image frames. For each corresponding ultrasound image frame, the method includes processing the corresponding ultrasound image frame to generate a respective vessel mask that identifies one or more vessel portions of the corresponding ultrasound image frame. The method also includes processing the vessel masks generated for the sequence of ultrasound image frames and corresponding three-dimensional position data to generate a three-dimensional vessel structure map representing vessels within the anatomy portion of the subject. The method also includes processing the three-dimensional vessel structure map to select a candidate vessel to target for venipuncture from the vessels represented in the three-dimensional vessel structure map.

Abstract: A storage box has a container with circumferential sidewall and upper rim. A cover is removably connected to the container. The cover, when placed in a closure position on the container, is resting on the rim. In the closure position, the cover is positioned on the container in a sealing position or in a closing position. The sidewall has a sidewall section with venting openings. The cover has a cover wall extending downward into the container interior. The cover wall is positioned where the sidewall section is located in the closure position. The cover wall is resting seal-tightly on an inner wall of the sidewall in the sealing position of the cover. The cover has venting passages. In the closing position of the cover, the venting passages extend from the container interior to the sidewall and open into the venting openings without the cover wall covering the venting openings.

Abstract: A bracket allows controlled positioning of a bumper cover relative to a lamp housing (such as a headlamp housing) when the headlamp housing and bumper cover are mounted on a vehicle. The bracket has an elongated body having a first end and a second end, and attaches to the headlamp housing by temporary attachments, such as snap connections. The bracket further has bumper cover receiving slot configured to receive a portion of the bumper cover. The bracket may further include a pin receiving hole, positioned so as to receive a pin protruding from the headlamp housing for additional positioning accuracy. A temporary sub-assembly of the bracket and headlamp housing can be used in an improved vehicle assembly process, in which the sub-assembly is permanently mounted to the vehicle fender, and a portion of the bumper cover slid into bumper receiving slots on the bracket.
