Abstract: In an illustrative embodiment, a device stand including a holder, a holder mount, and a base is disclosed herein. In this illustrative embodiment, the holder includes a central support, a plurality of arms extending from the central support, and a gripping portion configured to grip a corner of a device coupled to each of the plurality of arms. The holder also includes at least one mounting lock coupled to a back face of the support. The holder mount includes at least one mounting lock configured to removably couple to the at least one mounting lock on the holder. The holder mount may be attached to the base by an articulation joint. The articulation joint allows a user to manipulate the orientation of the holder in one or more planes for optimal use of a device held within the holder.

Abstract: A cutting device, for example for use in a method for laparoscopic hysterectomy wherein final resection of a uterus is executed using a vaginal approach, i.e. cutting from the vaginal side inwards, instead of cutting from the abdominal side outwards of the uterus. A hysterectomy assembly for such a method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A minimal invasive neurosurgery assembly including a flush assembly having flush assembly main part with a central passage extending through the main part from the distal end to the proximal end along a longitudinal axis, and having at least one tool insertion assembly. The tool insertion assembly may include a tool handling part that is detachably connectable to the flush assembly main part and that has at least one tool insertion channel that extends from the distal end to the proximal end of the tool handling part. The tool insertion assembly may also include an inner sheath that is connected to the tool handling part and has an inner sheath wall and at least one lumen extending parallel to the longitudinal axis and in which an associated one of the at least one tool insertion channel emanates. The inner sheath may be insertable through the central passage of the flush assembly main part.

Abstract: A shaft connector configured to connect a shaft that has to be partly inserted through the skull of patient to the skull of the patient, the shaft connector comprising a skull connecting part, a shaft bush with a shaft clamp to fixate a shaft within the shaft bush, a bush clamping device to fixate the shaft bush relative to the skull connecting part so that a settable direction of the bush channel axis relative to the central axis is fixated as desired, an operating provision including a first and a second handle configured and arranged to be engaged by a single hand, the operating provision being configured to bring the bush clamping device from the release position in the clamping position by movement of the first handle relative to the second handle without exerting a force on the skull via the skull connecting part.

Abstract: A device stand including a holder, a holder mount, and a base is disclosed herein. The holder has a back face and is configured to hold a device. A holder mounting lock and a holder electrical connection are located on the back face of the holder. The holder electrical connection is electrically connected to an electronic connection configured to connect to the device. The holder mount includes a mounting lock configured to removably couple to the holder mounting lock. The holder mount also includes an electric connector configured to electrically connect to the holder electrical connection. The holder mount may be attached to the base by an articulation joint. The articulation joint allows a user to manipulate the orientation of the holder in one or more planes for optimal use of a device held within the holder.

Abstract: A technique is provided or integrating system design, sales, and manufacturing functions. Systems including networked and programmable electrical components, such as motor control centers, and other electrical power control arrangements are designed, and a database is created for the design, including component and system designation data. The database may further include configuration information, settings, and so forth. The database is used as a tool in establishing a sales solicitation proposal from which sales of the system are offered. The same database is then used to program the various components of the system, such as through a temporary network link or via a permanent data network once the system is assembled.

Abstract: A method and product produced includes a power layer board that is manufactured by providing a printed circuit board having an input configured to receive an input power and an output configured to deliver an output power conditioned to power a motor. The method also includes soldering a first component to the printed circuit board. Thereafter, a request to manufacture the power layer board is received that includes parameters of the input power and/or the output power. Therefrom, characteristics of a second component including a resistor, a capacitor, and/or an inductor is identified based on the parameters of the input power and/or the output power. Accordingly, the identified second component is mounted to the printed circuit board through a solder-less cold-weld connector to complete the power layer board.
