Abstract: The present invention relates to an ergonomic bidirectional self-locking mechanism for endoscope angulation control knob operation, which allows for easier access to the endoscope control knobs, reduced muscle exertion for knob operation, and real-time locking of the position of the knobs when turned, as disclosed herein. The invention has benefits for the operator thereof from ergonomic and patient safety perspectives.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a body monitoring system comprising a patch, the patch comprising a main body, the main body comprising a second face suitable for facing the skin of a user, the patch comprising an adhesive layer at least partially covering the second face, and a peelable cover covering the adhesive layer, the peelable cover comprising at least two separate portions, the portions being adjacent to each other, the main body and the adhesive layer comprise a central portion forming an opening suitable for receiving the capsule, the opening having a maximum diameter greater than 2 mm, preferably greater than 5 mm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sensor preparation assembly (30) for a body monitoring system, the sensor (30) comprising at least one needle, the preparation assembly comprising: a bag (26) comprising a volume of a preparation solution, the bag (26) being configured to be positioned under the sensor (30) and being configured to be pierced by the needle (32), a receptacle (28) on which the bag is arranged (26), bearing means (24) that arc movable in relation to the receptacle (28) toward a bearing position, the bearing means (24) in the bearing position being configured to cause the sensor (30) to pierce the bag (26). The invention further relates to a sensor preparation method, comprising the placement of the sensor (30) in a position that is interposed between the bearing means (24) and the bag (26), the needle (32) of the sensor (30) piercing the bag (26).

Abstract: A device and a method for shot analysis are provided. The method includes steps of detecting the firing of a shot; recording image data in the line of sight before the shot, immediately following the shot, and after the shot; analyzing the resolution of the shot by processing the data recorded immediately following the shot; and temporal analysis of the shot by processing the data recorded immediately following the shot, the data recorded before the shot, the data recorded after the shot and the results of the shot resolution analysis.

Abstract: A device and a method for shot analysis are provided. The device includes a data acquisition module configured to determine the time of departure of a projectile from a weapon and to acquire video and spatial data relating to a targeted target; a storage and calculation module configured to analyze the acquired temporal, video and spatial data; and a data transmission module configured to transmit the analyzed data.

Abstract: An osmotic delivery system flow modulator assembly, an osmotic delivery system with a flow modulator assembly, and a method of assembling an osmotic delivery system. The osmotic delivery system flow modular assembly includes a body having a hole located through the body and communicating two opposing ends of the body. The use of the osmotic delivery system flow modulator assembly lessens the chance that air or gas pockets will form in the enclosure of the osmotic delivery system during assembly of the system. Because less air is within the osmotic delivery system, performance of the system is enhanced. Use of the flow modulator assembly also lessens the chance that beneficial agent will be wasted during assembly of the osmotic delivery system.

Abstract: A software utility navigation aid for hierarchical structures such as file managers, taxonomies, or tables of contents that displays a dynamic menu when the mouse cursor is hovered over an activator used to swap the expanded/collapsed state of a node displayed in a hierarchical structure. The menu contains entries that identify in which display level of expansion the node resides based on the structure's fully collapsed condition (from the root node), the number of display levels to which this branch of the hierarchy can be expanded, and the number of nodes that will be exposed when this branch is expanded to each of those levels. Each displayed entry in this menu, positioned both below and above the identified node, can be clicked to cause the hierarchical structure to expand or collapse to that display level.
