Abstract: A back pad assembly for a material handling vehicle is provided that includes a back pad, a framework, and a mounting frame. The back pad includes a center portion, a first side portion, and a second side portion. The first side portion defines a first curved profile, and the second side portion defines a second curved profile. The first curved profile and the second curved profile are arranged on laterally-opposing sides of the center portion. The framework includes a first mounting bar and a second mounting bar. The framework is coupled to the back pad. The first and second mounting bars are adjustably supported by the mounting frame to enable the back pad to be selectively mounted at varying heights along the mounting frame.

Abstract: A trocar system includes a cannula having a cannula head and a cannula tube, and an obturator having a cap and either a rounded tip or a cutting blade. The head and cap form an ergonomically shaped bulbous handle. At least a portion of an outer surface of the cannula head may include a resilient non-slip material. The cannula head may also include a monolithic housing having a port with a Luer Lock fitting and an integrally formed passageway for receiving a stopcock valve.

Abstract: A diagnostic instrument system includes a compact instrument housing having an interior for containing an illumination system and an optical viewing system for illuminating and viewing a target, both systems being arranged within the housing. The housing is separably and interchangeably mounted to a pair of supporting stand fixtures, each fixture having interfacing handle portions to which the instrument can be selectively attached without modification. The interfacing handle portions include electrical and video connections which interface with the optical and illumination systems of the instrument housing when attached to either fixture.
