  • Patent number: 10799218
    Abstract: An ultrasonic diagnostic imaging system and method enable the automatic acquisition of standard view planes of the heart in real time, such as the AP4, AP3, and AP2 views. A 3D image of the heart is acquired and the processed in conjunction with a geometrical heart model. The heart model is fitted to the heart in its acquired pose to segment the desired image planes from the 3D image data. During successive image acquisition intervals the image planes are tracked through successive image data as a multi-plane system to update a display of the multiple images. The successive image acquisitions can be volume image acquisitions or multi-plane acquisitions of just the tracked image planes during each acquisition interval.

  • Publication number: 20060066067
    Abstract: A crawling aid for infants having a partial disability provides a cushioned platform to support the body of the infant. The platform has wheels, including at least one caster, to render the platform maneuverable. Portions of the platform are narrow to allow the infant's good limbs to extend down and engage the floor; and, the head support allows the infant to see on both sides of the platform. Thus, the infant can execute crawling motion while body and disabled limbs are supported on the platform.

  • Publication number: 20060039841
    Abstract: A system for disinfecting and purifying aqueous solutions and water for drinking purposes comprising an outer pouch, a disinfectant generating device, and an inorganic coagulant. The disinfectant generating device is provided with a membrane shell defining at least two compartments which house a first reactant, a second reactant, and an inorganic coagulant. The disinfectant generating device is capable of producing a disinfectant when exposed to water or moisture and the disinfectant exits the compartment through the membrane shell. The inorganic coagulant aid the formation of flocs of the suspended dispersed particles in the aqueous solution.

  • Patent number: 6906983
    Abstract: An ear-plug alarm comprises a base station which sets the time, and ear-piece which provides autonomous timing and alarm functions after it is disconnected from the base station. The base station is implemented in personal computer software with an appropriate interface. Each ear-piece stores its own alarm setting, and operates autonomously after it is disconnected, so that a single base station can support any number of ear-pieces. With this method the alarm becomes a count down from the time that it is set, relieving the ear-piece timer of any long-term accuracy requirement.

  • Publication number: 20030132423
    Abstract: The glue remover contains a combination of five solvents which rapidly loosen, dissolve and remove both dried and wet cyanoacrylate glues from most surfaces. This solvent mixture is safe for short-time use on human skin. The combination gives a synergistic effect which allows faster softening and removal of the dried glue. The solvent mixture contains special solvents which are combined in optimum ratios to give a significant increase in solvent power greater than possible with any one solvent while also providing two solvents, isoamyl acetate and propylene glycol, to soothe the skin in addition to helping loosen the dried glue.
