Publication number: 20240045004Abstract: Systems and methods for projecting an image onto an interior surface of an MRI machine includes projection through a waveguide and image adjustment. The projector is generally placed within an RF-protective box and spaced from the MRI machine. The projector emits a light and image projection through the waveguide, which travels into a fold minor lens located within the MRI bore, which then redirects the image onto the inside of the bore.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 3, 2023Publication date: February 8, 2024Inventors: Matthew K. Murphy, James P. Maslowski

Publication number: 20190121597Abstract: A system includes a video display panel (VDP). The VDP further comprises a plurality of light-emitting structures. The system further includes a T-support structure for a suspended ceiling; the T-support structure is to receive the VDP. Finally, a riser may be disposed between the VDP and the T-support structure, such that the riser is sized to receive the VDP and hold the VDP substantially flush with the T-support structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 25, 2018Publication date: April 25, 2019Inventors: Matthew Murphy, James P.

Patent number: 10226179Abstract: A method, system and software product are provided such that a patient in an MRI suite can select and enjoy personalized lighting, music, images and video with a touch screen for a program that is displayed on a system interactive digital unit or device. A wide and advanced variety of pre-programmed themes can be provided with the system, as is the option of creating customized content by the healthcare provider. Image panels help to “transport” the patient “away” from the confining space in the magnet bore of the MRI scanner, moving the patient's focus from the scanner to his or her surroundings. A ceiling image panel displays images of the patient's choice. Patients can also “dock” their own electronic device to enjoy their own audio visual content. The lighting of the suite can be returned to normal lighting when required and then back to the patient's original selections.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2013Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: PDC Facilities, Inc.Inventors: James P. Maslowski, Elmer B. Woods, R. Michael Slemin

Patent number: 8449169Abstract: An LED replacement light bulb for use in a standard AC light bulb socket is provided. The light bulb includes a body, a heat sink portion and an end cap arranged to receive DC electrical current from the AC light bulb socket where the AC electrical system has been converted to a DC electrical system. The LED replacement bulb includes a base and wires connecting the base to a plurality of LEDs or to an LED board. A quick disconnect is disposed between the base and the plurality of LEDS or the LED board to allow for easy removal and replacement of the LEDs or of the LED board. In one preferred embodiment, a lens cover is provided with stand-off legs to avoid metal to metal contact between the bulb and its surrounding lighting fixture.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2012Date of Patent: May 28, 2013Assignee: PDC Facilities, Inc.Inventors: James P. Maslowski, Elmer B. Woods, Matthew Boesel

Patent number: 8087203Abstract: A waveguide for a radio frequency door like that used in a medical imaging room allows intravenous lines and electrical conduits to be inserted through the door frame without being disconnected from the patient. The waveguide includes a door frame section, and a removable, telescoping or pivoting movable member that cooperates with the door frame section to retain the conduits. The movable member is positioned away from the door frame section during insertion and removal of the conduits from the door frame section, and is positioned adjacent the door frame section when the conduits are being retained. The dimensions and materials of the waveguide are selected to achieve attenuation of electromagnetic interference.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2009Date of Patent: January 3, 2012Assignee: PDC Facilities, Inc.Inventors: Matthew Boesel, James P. Maslowski, Dean Molstad, Steve Zwicke

Patent number: 7484345Abstract: A filling machine operable to dispense a fluid from a fluid supply to a container having an opening and a cap configured to cover the opening. The filling machine includes a housing that defines a fill chamber and a cap removal assembly at least partially located within the fill chamber. The cap removal assembly is operable to remove the cap from the opening of the container within the fill chamber. The filling machine further includes a fill line assembly having an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is configured to be coupled to the fluid supply and the outlet is located within the fill chamber. The outlet is configured to be placed in fluid communication with the opening of the container. The fill line assembly is removably coupled to the filling machine, and fluid flowing from the fluid supply to the container flows through the fill line assembly.Type: GrantFiled: November 27, 2006Date of Patent: February 3, 2009Assignee: PDC Facilities, Inc.Inventors: Elmer B.
