Patent number: 9713238Abstract: Among other things, one or more rotating members of a radiation imaging modality, such as a CT system, are described herein. The rotating member may be configured to support at least one of a radiation source or a detector array and comprises at least one element configured to facilitate the transfer of power to the rotating member and at least one element configured to facilitate the transfer of information between the rotating member and a stator. The rotating member may also comprise one or more positioning elements that are formed within the rotating member and are configured to facilitate determining a rotation angle of the rotating member. The rotating member may further comprise, among other things, a bearing structure, antenna assembly for transferring image data, and/or a drive mechanism for facilitating rotation of the rotating member, for example.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2012Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Analogic CorporationInventors: Libor Krupica, John Hickey, Chris Hardy

Publication number: 20110060607Abstract: A health care information provider system may provide information about health care objects managed by a health care provider. A name generating system may generate an object name for each of the health care objects which may include provider information indicative of the identity of the health care provider which manages the health care object, and object information indicative of the identity of the health care object. The object information may be devoid of any personal health information, even in a form which can be decrypted by a decryption key. A computer system appliance may protect the privacy of medical record information stored in a computer information storage system and may include a medical record distribution compartment, a medical record acquisition compartment, and a security compartment. The medical record distribution compartment and the medical record acquisition compartment may be configured to communicate with one another only thought the security compartment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 28, 2010Publication date: March 10, 2011Inventors: Carl Kesselman, Stephan G.
