Abstract: Provided herein is technology relating to radiology and radiotherapy and particularly, but not exclusively, to apparatuses, methods, and systems for multi-axis medical imaging of patients in vertical and horizontal positions.

Abstract: An example computing device includes a user interface, a network interface, a non-volatile memory, a processor coupled to the user interface, the network interface, and the non-volatile memory, and a set of instructions stored in the non-volatile memory. The set of instructions, when executed by the processor, is to perform a hardware initialization of the computing device according to a setting, establish a local trust domain and a remote trust domain, use a local-access public key to issue a challenge via the user interface to grant local access to the setting, and use a remote-access public key to grant remote access via the network interface to remote access to the setting.

Abstract: A hand-held ophthalmoscope modified by the removal or augmentation of the focusing wheel and the addition of a manual or automatic focusing lens system. An electronic imager (CCD array or video camera) is placed optically conjugate to a viewing screen such that focus operations performed by the examiner to adjust the image seen by the examiner on the screen also focuses the image on the electronic imager. This is accomplished by an optical system which includes a straight path from the viewing screen to the patient's eye with a beam splitter interposed to cause the image of the patient's eye to be reflected onto the imager. As a result, when the examiner uses the focusing lens system, manual or automatic, positioned between the beam splitter and the patient's eye, to affect the image viewed by the examiner, the focus of the imager is simultaneously affected as well.

Abstract: A driveline assembly including a tubular male member and a tubular female member both disposed about an axis and having thin walls defining inner and outer surfaces. Both the male and female members are fixed to yokes. The yoke of the female member is coupled to a transmission and the yoke of the male member is coupled to a wheel axle. An elastomeric sleeve is adhered to and conforms with the inner surface of the female member and is complementary in configuration to the outer surface of the male member. A male tooth is formed within the thin wall of the male member and a female tooth is formed within the thin wall of the female member. Each tooth has a linear portion and a pair of legs. The legs of the male and female teeth are separated by additional circumferentially extending linear portions. The male member nonrotatably engages the female member for transmitting torque from the transmission to the axle. Specifically, the female member is the drive shaft and the male member is the driven shaft.

Abstract: A sealing device for a drive line slip yoke includes a generally resilient seal and a substantially rigid cover that cooperate to provide a fluid-tight seal at the interface between a slip yoke and an axially moving splined shaft. The seal has a mounting portion that includes a shoulder received within a groove defined on an outer surface of the slip yoke. The cover is snapped over the seal and maintained in position by cooperating tabs on the cover and a groove defined on an outer surface of the seal. The seal includes a sealing portion having three axially spaced and radially inwardly extending lips. A middle lip acts as an O-ring that serves as a back-up in the event that one of the other two lips becomes damaged or deteriorates with use. The substantially rigid cover serves to maintain the seal in proper engagement with the end of the slip yoke and protects the seal from damage potentially caused by debris encountered during operation.

Abstract: A sealing device for a driveline slip yoke includes a flexible diaphragm and a generally rigid cap that cooperate to provide a fluid-tight seal across one end of the slip yoke. The diaphragm and the cap have outer peripheral edges that are preferably received within a groove on the slip yoke such that the cap maintains the diaphragm in proper sealing engagement with the slip yoke. The flexible diaphragm flexes and extends inwardly and outwardly of the slip yoke in response to varying pressures within the slip yoke caused by the relative axial movement of a splined shaft within the yoke. The cap not only maintains the diaphragm in proper sealing engagement with the slip yoke, but also limits the outward flexing of the diaphragm responsive to the pressure within the slip yoke. A slip yoke sealing device designed according to this invention is especially useful in applications that require that lubricant be maintained within the slip yoke over extensive periods during extensive use.
