Abstract: A method of controlling a computer processing component of a depilatory wax heating apparatus to perform operations including at least determining when to activate based on one or more first parameters; turning on a heating element based on a determination of when to activate; controlling temperature of the heating element based on one or more second parameters; and deactivating the heating element based on one or more third parameters.

Abstract: An exemplary method of displaying an intraoperative image of a surgical site comprises: receiving a plurality of images captured by a plurality of in-light cameras integrated into one or more surgical light units illuminating the surgical site, wherein the plurality of images capture the surgical site from a plurality of different perspectives; identifying an obstruction to the surgical site in an image of the plurality of images; responsive to identifying the obstruction, generating a composite image based on a set of the plurality of images, wherein the composite image excludes the obstruction; and displaying the composite image as the intraoperative image of the surgical site.

Abstract: A mobile radiolucent table system configurable for medical imaging includes a table pedestal comprising a table base portion and a table support mounted to the table base portion; a platform supported by the table support; a frame translatably mounted to the platform and configured for positioning a patient; and an actuator configured to linearly translate the frame relative to the platform between a fully extended configuration and a fully retracted configuration, wherein in the fully extended configuration, a front edge of the frame projects from the platform at least 1 meter past a front edge of the platform and a front edge of the table base portion, wherein the fully extended configuration is configured for medical imaging.

Abstract: A dressage arena fence module comprising at least two component brackets and at least one component rail. Each bracket comprises a slot to couple the rail to the bracket. Integral with the slot and integral with the rail are cooperating appertures and tabs to releasably lock the rail to the brackets. The fence is an easy to assemble and disassemble modular arena fence system from components which fence may be stacked in sections when assembled. The fence may be anchored to the ground.
