  • Patent number: 9703455
    Abstract: Methods and systems for viewing images. One system includes a source of images, a computer, and a screen. The computer is configured to generate a graphical user interface or GUI. The GUI includes a first window in which one or more of the images are displayed. The GUI is displayed on the screen and the graphical user interface module generates an output or modifies the GUI in response to user input (e.g., tap, click, etc.). In response to the input, the graphical user interface generates an image-navigation map. The image-navigation map is displayed in a foreground of the first window and the one or more images are in displayed in a background of the first window. The image-navigation map includes one or more thumbnail images of at least one of the one or more images.

  • Publication number: 20070208275
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fluid collection device that comprises a housing having a normally obverse fluid receiving side and an opposing side. The fluid receiving side has an aperture for receiving a fluid and permitting deposition of the fluid into a fluid collector. The fluid collector is normally inclined to permit inclined fluid flow away from the aperture. Also disclosed is a kit that includes the fluid collection device, and various methods for use of the fluid collection device.

  • Patent number: 5659904
    Abstract: A tub grab bar adapted to be removably mounted to a bath tub includes a main body portion having at least one grasping region oriented generally perpendicular to the tub wall. The bar has first and second clamping members adjustably positionable relative to one another in a direction generally parallel to the at least one grasping region. The clamping members are adapted to secure the grab bar to the bath tub wall. The bar farther includes first and second tub gripping elements. The gripping elements are mounted to a respective one of the clamping members. At least one of the gripping elements is multi-accurately, pivotally mounted to its respective clamping member to permit the gripping element to fully engage the bath tub wall when the clamping members are secured to the bath tub wall. The main body portion of the grab bar includes a pair of generally parallel, spaced apart stabilizing elements positioned with at least one of the clamping members therebetween.

  • Patent number: 4752743
    Abstract: The input signal to a TWT amplifier is predistorted in amplitude and phase to the inverse of the amplifier transfer characteristic by an adjustable circuit including a phase linearizing section and an amplitude linearizing section, both in series with the input signal and amplifier. Each section includes two pairs of back-to-front Schottky diodes. Preferably an additional diode is in series with one pair for the amplitude section. The diodes of each pair are of like polarity and opposite to the diodes of the other pair of the section. Additional diodes are connected between the pair junctions and ground, and adjustable D.C. bias fed into these junctions. Additional resistors and capacitors bridge the pairs, and are arranged into a phase delay network in one of the sections.
