  • Patent number: 11103205
    Abstract: A method of operating a mobile fluoroscopic imaging system includes positioning an x-ray source and a DR detector about a patient. Data defining a spatial configuration of the x-ray source and the collimator is stored in the system. The system is configured to determine a source-to-image distance of the x-ray source and the DR detector including by activating the x-ray source and capturing a scout image in the DR detector. Dimensions of the scout image are calculated and the source-to-image distance is determined based on the data defining the spatial configuration of the x-ray source and the collimator and on the dimensions of the scout image.

  • Publication number: 20160325895
    Abstract: Disclosed is a dispensing tube assembly with tamper indication including a label with a main body portion and a tamper evident portion. The boundary between the label main body portion and tamper evident portion is defined by a perforated score. The dispensing tube assembly includes a tube portion and a cap portion. The label is adhesively attached to the dispensing tube assembly such that the label surrounds portions of both the tube and the cap and such that the tamper evident portion covers a portion of the cap end. The label also optionally includes a tear-away portion to facilitate separation of the tamper evident portion from the main body portion.

  • Patent number: 8573455
    Abstract: A holder for a mobile telephone headset includes a base and arm members extending outwardly from the base with a receiving member attached to ends of the arm members. The receiving member includes spaced apart upright members forming a gap for loosely receiving an ear bud of the mobile telephone headset. A clip may be removably attached to the base for removably securing the holder to a support structure within a motor vehicle. The holder further includes illumination for locating it or the headset in a darkened environment. Yet further, the arm members are spaced apart to form an opening sufficient for receiving an ear hook of the headset, the holder thus providing ease for a user to safely store the mobile telephone headset.

  • Patent number: 8463146
    Abstract: Developer density in an electrophotographic system is measured. The developer includes toner particles and magnetic carrier particles. First and second mutually-insulated electrodes define a working volume between them through which developer passes without contacting the first electrode. An AC voltage or current source is connected to the electrodes. An inductor is connected in series with a voltage source, or an inductor is provided in parallel with a current source. The voltage or current is applied and corresponding current or voltage across the electrodes is measured. The density of the developer in the working volume is automatically determined using a processor responsive to the measured current or voltage and the applied bias.
