The display adapter is configured to receive the endoscope video stream and the laryngoscope video stream and to supply the video stream to a display. The button allows user selection of which of the laryngoscope video stream, and the endoscope video stream, or both video stream to supply from the display adaptor to the display.

Abstract: An illumination system for monitoring and illuminating an operating region includes at least one light assembly including at least one illumination source configured to selectively direct a light emission in a portion of the operating region. At least one imager is configured to capture image data in a field of view in the operating region. A controller is in communication with the light assembly and the imager. The controller is configured to process image data captured in the field of view and identify a plurality of objects detected in the image data based on an object library. Track a location of each of the plurality of objects and store the location of each of the objects.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for providing for improved monitoring of an individual, wherein imaging data is received from a plurality of imaging sensors. The received imaging data is aggregated and patterns at targeted data segments of the aggregated imaging data are analyzed using one or more algorithms to determine one or more values. The one or more values determined from the analyzed patterns are classified to represent at least one of a physiological state determination or a positioning of the individual. Data corresponding to the classified one or more values is then output and displayed.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for effectively illuminating a target. The target may be in a confined field of view area. Such systems may mitigate shadows and lack of light homogeneity at surgical procedure settings, research sites, or other localized areas where humans may operate in a confined field of view area. One or more lighting modules can be disposed in a target area, for illumination of one or more illumination target locations in the confined field of view. An object detection component can detect an object or desired target in the target field of view location, and provide data indicative of the detected object/target to an illumination module adjustment component. Based on the data indicative of the detected object/target, the illumination module adjustment component can provide data indicative of an illumination adjustment to the first illumination module to provide desired illumination.

Abstract: A system for controlling a plurality of lighting assemblies and a plurality of imagers configured to capture image data in a plurality fields of an operating region comprises a collapsible armature comprising a plurality of linkages configured to extend between an extended arrangement and a collapsed arrangement. The extended arrangement positions the lighting assemblies in a first spacing, and the collapsed arrangement positions the lighting assemblies in a second spacing. A controller is configured to control lighting emissions from light sources of the lighting assemblies based on the predetermined first spacing and detect at least one object in the fields of view and control the lighting assemblies to illuminate the at least one object.

Abstract: One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for illuminating a target area. Such systems may mitigate shadows and lack of light homogeneity at surgical intervention settings, or any other clinical or otherwise critical human operational confined area that utilize a substantially uniform light flooding. One or more lighting modules can be disposed in a target area, for illumination one or more illumination target locations. An object detection component can detect an object in the target illumination location, and provide data indicative of the detected object to an illumination module adjustment component. Based on the data indicative of the detected object, the illumination module adjustment component can provide data indicative of an illumination adjustment to the first illumination module.

Abstract: When inserting a patient into a bore of a patient imaging device (e.g., CT, SPECT, PET, MRI, fMRI, etc.), a cantilevered pallet supported by an adjustable table deflects under the patient's weight. A pair of springs couples the table to first and second support arms, which are coupled to each other at a pivot point. A lever is coupled to the front end of the table and pivots on a fulcrum. A pair of wires are coupled to a rearward end of the lever and passed over respective pulleys before being coupled to a rearward portion of the table. A component of the patient's weight applied to the front edge of the table causes the lever to pivot on its fulcrum, raising the forward ends of the wires, which pass over the pulleys and pull the rearward end of the table downward to maintain the patient at a desired altitude and/or angle.

Abstract: A removable plastic handle assembly for use with containers such as tins or cans, wherein the handle assembly is constituted by a hoop which connects to the mouth of the container and a handle formed integrally with the hoop; the hoop has an internal slot which serves as a housing for the seam of the mouth and also has one or more gripping collets arranged, for preference, in a form equidistant around the hoop; the handle is found on the same plane as the hoop and is joined to it by two thick opposed points of attachment, corresponding to the ends of the handle, and also they are joined by one or more thinner points of attachment which keep the handle on the plane of the hoop before its use, guaranteeing its permanence in the plane and it's appropriate stacking but at the moment the handle is used, the thin points of attachment break to turn the handle during transport; the hoop moreover has projections which function as guides during the stacking.
