  • Publication number: 20240112574
    Abstract: A parking enforcement device can be secured to a surface adjacent to the area designated as NO PARKING. The enforcement device can include an elongated hollow body, a window provided to the tubular body, a battery, an internal frame assembly disposed inside of the elongated hollow body, and a camera disposed inside of the elongated hollow body. The internal frame assembly defines a cavity in which the battery is located. A camera support pole extends vertically upwards from the internal frame assembly. The camera is secured to the camera support pole and located vertically along the camera support pole such that the camera views outward through the window. A solar panel can be provided atop the parking enforcement device to recharge the battery.

  • Patent number: 6972026
    Abstract: Surgical device (1) is for use in minimally invasive surgery using an inflated body cavity (2) accessible to a surgeon through an access port defined by a sleeve (4) passing through an incision in a patient's abdominal wall (3). The device is held in position by a distal ring (5) and a proximal ring (6). An incision engaging bladder (10) provides a first seal for engaging and retracting the incision when inflated. A second seal is provided by a self engaging bladder (12) for sealing the sleeve (4).

  • Patent number: 6908430
    Abstract: An access port device is provided which enables hand access to a patient's body cavity while retaining pneumoperitoneum by minimizing gas leakage through the access port device. In one embodiment, the access port device includes first and second sleeves forming an inflatable chamber and a third sleeve mounted within the second sleeve including an elastic band for sealingly engaging a hand or wrist. The access port device may also include an exit opening seal for positioning within the patient's body cavity and a second sleeve retraction prevention device for preventing inadvertent movement of the second sleeve outwardly from the patient's body cavity through the incision. In another embodiment, an access port device provided which includes an inner annular sealing device and a non-adhesive outer annular sealing device for creating a non-adhesive seal against the outer surface of a patient. An access component forming an inflatable chamber and including an integral sleeved glove may also be provided.

  • Publication number: 20040267096
    Abstract: An access port device is provided which enables hand access to a patient's body cavity while retaining pneumoperitoneum by minimizing gas leakage through the access port device. The access port device comprises a sleeve of flexible material including a proximal end and a distal end, and forming an access opening positionable in an incision in a patient's body, an outer annular sealing device attached to the proximal end of the sleeve to secure the access port device externally to a patient, an inner annular sealing device attached to the distal end of the sleeve to secure the access port device internally to the patient, and an access component removably connected to the outer annular sealing device, the access component including a flexible ring removably engaging the outer annular sealing device.

  • Publication number: 20020068923
    Abstract: An improved access port device (10,100) is provided which enables hand access to a patient's body cavity while retaining pneumoperitoneum by minimizing gas leakage through the access port device. In one embodiment, the access port device (10) includes first and second sleeves (12,20) forming an inflatable chamber (30) and a third sleeve (22) mounted within the second sleeve (20) including an elastic band (54) for sealingly engaging a hand or wrist. The access port device (10) may also include an exit opening seal (38) for positioning within the patient's body cavity and a second sleeve retraction prevention device (46) for preventing inadvertent movement of the second sleeve (20) outwardly from the patient's body cavity through the incision. In another embodiment, an access port device (100) is provided which includes an inner annular sealing device (112) and a non-adhesive outer annular sealing device (110) for creating a non-adhesive seal against the outer surface of a patient.
