  • Patent number: 10799144
    Abstract: A patient support assembly for use in a magnetic resonance image (MRI) scanner includes a first and a second patient support structure and a first and a second imaging coil. The patient support assembly provides support for multiple anatomical regions being imaged, improving patient comfort during the procedure. Access to the patient is improved by: providing a flexible coil that wraps around at least one of the anatomical regions being imaged, providing a support structure open to the anterior region of the anatomical region being imaged, and providing a support structure that may be opened and closed about the anatomical region being imaged. The patient support assembly also aligns the two imaging coils to minimize interference between coils during imaging.

  • Patent number: 6675514
    Abstract: A display enclosure includes a case, a driver board assembly configured to provide signals to a display, a clamp assembly having a head configured to slidably engage the case and a protrusion configured to secure the driver board assembly to the case. A message center enclosure includes a case, a driver board assembly configured to generate a display, a pivot clamp assembly coupled to the case, and configured to couple the driver board assembly to the case, in a manner that is devoid of apertures through the driver board assembly for coupling the driver board assembly to the case. A method of manufacturing a message center enclosure includes obtaining a case having opposing first and second ends and at least one pivot clamp assembly, sliding a driver board assembly into the case, and sliding the pivot clamp assembly into the case.

  • Patent number: 6476883
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an enclosure for electronic displays including a frame, at least one coupling assembly coupled to the frame, wherein one of the coupling assembly and the frame includes a plurality of recesses and the other of the body and the frame includes a plurality of protrusions configured for mating alignment with the recesses, a display module disposed within the frame, a front panel coupled to the frame, and a rear panel coupled to the frame. The present invention further relates to a method of manufacturing the enclosure including providing at least one side wall, providing a corner assembly, wherein the side wall has a plurality of recesses and the corner assembly has a plurality of corresponding protrusions for mating engagement with the plurality of recesses, and sliding the protrusions into the recesses to form a secure fit, whereby secondary operations, such as drilling holes or punching holes, in the side wall are unnecessary to complete the mating engagement.

  • Patent number: 4159159
    Abstract: A modular terminal for fast and secure installation of a wire pair insuring electrical isolation of each wire in utility interface equipment requiring a large number of such installing operations is supported by a boss of insulating material. A pair of continuous contact pins are each formed with two-pronged wire clamps having a wire-receiving slot between the prongs. The contact pins extend into the housing in spaced apart positions with the lower prongs seated on the boss and the wire-receiving slots for the pair opening in the same direction. A cap is seated on the upper prongs of the wire clamps and is fastened to the boss with a terminal screw that is advanced to simultaneously secure a pair of conductors held in the wire-receiving slots.
