Patent number: 10740738Abstract: A system for counting objects in a queue waiting for service at one of a plurality of electronic points of service “EPOSs” includes an object tracking system and a processor system for processing data. The processor system may have memory means storing data indicative of the positions of each of said EPOSs within a service point area, and be adapted to receive data from each EPOS indicating its operational status and to receive from said tracking system data relating to positions of objects within the service point area. The method of counting objects in a queue comprises firstly determining an initial seed location as a point at which a single queue of objects forms. Then, determining a new seed location as a point at which the single queue forms Once the new seed location is determined, tracked objects may be assigned to the single queue and then counted.Type: GrantFiled: July 29, 2013Date of Patent: August 11, 2020Assignee: InfraRed Integrated Systems Ltd.Inventors: Chris Evans, Stuart Holliday

Patent number: 9539171Abstract: An instrument, article and method are provided for minimizing pain during administration by injection of a liquid, such as, an anesthetic. The instrument has a forward end. A lightpipe mounted freely for vibration projects out of the forward end. The article, a single use tip, is composed of a tip sleeve removably mounted on the forward end of the instrument and a tip member removably mounted on the projecting lightpipe to vibrate a preselected injection site on a human or animal. The tip sleeve and tip member are covered by an elastic overmold that enables the tip member to vibrate freely with respect to the tip sleeve and light from the lightpipe to illuminate the injection site. A vibration unit mounted in the instrument is coupled to the lightpipe. The method is carried out by imparting vibrations and illumination via the lightpipe to the tip member.Type: GrantFiled: March 26, 2010Date of Patent: January 10, 2017Assignee: BING INNOVATIONS, LLCInventors: Steven Goldberg, David Schiff, Chris Evans, John Coleman

Patent number: 8814840Abstract: There is described a medical apparatus, which may comprise a fluid collection vessel and a sensor. The sensor is arranged to sense when the fluid collection vessel is substantially full even when the fluid collection vessel is tilted by up to a predetermined angle from its preferred orientation. The fluid collection vessel may comprise a main chamber and a sensor chamber in fluid communication with one another. The sensor is located in the sensor chamber. The fluid inlet, the main chamber and the sensor chamber are arranged such that fluid entering the fluid collection vessel via the fluid inlet flows into the main chamber even when the fluid collection vessel is tilted by up to the predetermined angle from its preferred orientation, and, once the main chamber is full, any further collected fluid flows from the main chamber into the sensor chamber.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2008Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Assignee: Talley Group LimitedInventors: John James Henry Evans, Nicholas Cole, Chris Evans
