Abstract: A method differentiates a blood vessel from a nonvascular tissue during a minimally invasive surgery using a device. A device may be any penetration sensor device, such as a dilator sensor device, a hollow needle sensor device, or a trocar sensor device, which penetrates the skin and subcutaneous layers to reach a target location inside the body. The penetration sensor device includes a sensor probe which can make optical measurements to determine various parameters of the tissue at the tip of the sensor probe. These parameters may include an optical signal level returned from tissue contacting the tip of the sensor probe, an oxygen saturation level of the tissue, a total hemoglobin concentration, a blood flow, and a pulse. Based on these parameters, the presence or absence of a blood vessel at the tip of the penetration sensor device can be determined while the device travels towards the target location for surgery.

Abstract: A retractor system with a closed loop control includes a retractor having one or more sensors, which measure parameters associated with a retracted tissue. The system further includes a positioning mechanism connected to the retractor and a controller which receives feedback signals from the sensors. Based on the feedback signals from the sensors, the retractor is actuated by the positioning mechanism so that the tissue can be retracted while maintaining the parameters associated with the retracted tissue above a threshold level or within a desired range. Another retractor system includes a retractor with a force sensor and at least one additional sensor, which can be used without a closed loop control arrangement.

Abstract: The present invention provides a mounting system for a panel, comprising: a clip, a sub-frame, a spacer and a resilient washer, wherein the clip and sub-frame are secured by a screw going through a round hole of the clip, the wing and a hole of the sub-frame. The mounting clip has the following characteristics: reducing the number of clips because clips may be used for both horizontal and vertical mountings of the ceramic panel; the clips are not exposed; the resilient contact between the clips and panels; panels are not vulnerable to come off; the clips can satisfy the separate mounting and removal for panels.

Abstract: A device includes source and detector sensors. In a specific implementation, the device has two near detectors, two far detectors, and two sources. The two near detectors are arranged closer to the two sources than the two far detectors. A light-diffusing layer covers the two near detectors. The device may be part of a medical device that is used to monitor or measure oxygen saturation levels in a tissue. In a specific implementation, light is transmitted into the tissue and received by the detectors. An attenuation coefficient is first calculated for a shallow layer of tissue. The attenuation coefficient is then used to calculate an attenuation coefficient for a deep layer of tissue.

An aspect includes determining whether an OAuth access token has expired. Another aspect includes initiating an automatic update of the OAuth access token based on determining that the OAuth access token has expired.

Abstract: An electrical connector for connecting a chip module, includes an insulating body, multiple conducting terminals received in the insulating body, and a fixing member having a base for fixing the chip module. The insulating body has an accommodating cavity that is rectangular and opened upward. A stop wall projects upward from each of four corners of the accommodating cavity. Each conducting terminal has a contact portion extending upward for electrically contacting a conductive connection surface of the chip module. The contact portions are located in the accommodating cavity and do not exceed the stop wall upward. The base is assembled above the insulating body. Four extending portions extend downward from the base and are assembled at an outer side of the stop walls. An inner side of each extending portion is provided with a guiding inclined surface cooperating with the outer side of the stop wall.

Abstract: A sensor probe has a connector and the connector's corresponding receptacle on a console have security mechanisms that ensure that the connector and the receptacle are properly connected and mated. The connector and receptacle can have physical security features that block insertion of the connector into the receptacle if they are not aligned in a proper orientation. The console can also include a software security feature that allows optical measurements from the sensor probe only if the connector of the sensor probe and receptacle on the console are connected properly. An adapter can also be used to convert a conventional receptacle mounted on a console into a receptacle with security features.

Abstract: A body coil includes a first end ring and a second end ring provided at two ends thereof. The first end ring and the second end ring are connected to each other with a plurality of legs. The first end ring or the second end ring has a structure with the current flow width in a direction parallel to the axis thereof being greater than that in a direction perpendicular to the axis thereof. Since the effective action width of the current is increased in the axial direction and the centralized flow of the current in the end ring is reduced, the local specific absorption rate of radio frequency induced by the magnetic field is therefore reduced.

Registered bidders are required to provide a security deposit to participate in the auction, and the identity or qualifications of sellers is verified.

Abstract: A method for machining and finishing a metallic member to provide a finished product without any additional process uses a lathe and a milling process. A non-circular metallic member on a worktable is rotated, and lathe tool moved backwards and forwards to machine the peripheral top portion of the metallic member. The path of the lathe tool machines curved surfaces of the top portion of the metallic member. The rotation of the metallic member is then stopped, and a milling cutter is brought to meet the peripheral sidewall of the metallic member. The movement and feeding of the milling cutter is predetermined. The worktable rotates the metallic member to enable one end edge of the peripheral sidewall and then another to face the milling cutter, and have the end edge chamfered by the milling cutter.
