  • Publication number: 20240260939
    Abstract: Disclosed are wearable ultrasound probes for use in trauma triage and assessment. The probes include a housing having a dorsal side and a palmar side, a proximal end and a distal end, and a longitudinal axis extending therebetween. The proximal end comprises a finger-receiving aperture that is configured to form a sleeve including a tubular wall member formed from an elastomeric material and defining an inner lumen. A portion of the tubular wall member is configured to extend or project into the inner lumen to form a deformable gripping member for gripping a finger. The probes also include at least one ultrasound array disposed at the distal end or adjacent to the distal end.

  • Patent number: 11944493
    Abstract: Disclosed are wearable ultrasound probes for use in trauma triage and assessment. The probes define a finger-receiving aperture and include an ultrasound array disposed adjacent the distal end wherein the ultrasound array is angled toward the bottom side of the probe about 10-50 degrees from the longitudinal axis and a second ultrasound array adjacent the distal end and proximal to the first ultrasound array, wherein the second ultrasound array is angled about 105-155 degrees from the first ultrasound array.

  • Patent number: 11723623
    Abstract: Embodiments provide for a support system for a portable ultrasound machine. In one example, the support system includes a carrier for an imaging display and a bracket for a beamformer, where the bracket mechanically couples to the carrier in a plurality of positions depending on a desired use of an operator of the portable ultrasound machine. In this way, operational aspects related to use of the portable ultrasound machine, and satisfaction of a user thereof, may be improved.

  • Publication number: 20190254627
    Abstract: Disclosed are wearable ultrasound probes for use in trauma triage and assessment. The probes include a finger-receiving aperture at a proximal end, a first ultrasound array disposed at a distal end, wherein the first ultrasound array is angled toward the palmar side about 60-105 degrees from the longitudinal axis, and a second ultrasound array disposed adjacent the distal end and proximal to the first ultrasound array, wherein the second ultrasound array is angled toward the palmar side about 10-50 degrees from the longitudinal axis, wherein the first ultrasound array comprises a phased array and the second ultrasound array comprises a linear array. Also disclosed are systems, methods, and finger-gripping elements that help retain the finger-mounted probes during use.

  • Patent number: 6352382
    Abstract: The present invention is a corner molding particularly useful in the construction of juvenile furniture. The corner molding has an elongate body with an interior, a first rounded side, and a second side opposite the rounded side, with a pair of acutely V-shaped channels extending along the length of the body. The first rounded side and each of the V-shaped channels preferably form a pair of rounded outer edges therebetween. Each V-shaped channel receives a substantially rectangular edge of a planar member to form a rounded corner such that the planar members are held substantially perpendicular relative to each other, with smooth joints between the outer edges and planar members. The present invention further provides a method of attaching a pair of planar members within acutely V-shaped channels of a corner molding to thereby provide a rounded corner having smooth joints between the planar members and the corner molding.
