Abstract: EMR applicators of an EMR applicator array are provided in an openable applicator housing to allow easy patient entrance to and exit therefrom so that the portion of the patient's body that contains the tissue to be treated can be positioned directly into the applicator housing without the applicator housing having to be moved along the patient's body. This can eliminate or reduce the need for full body supporting structure as part of the applicator housing. The applicator housing provides support for the portion of the body positioned therein, and support pads or pillows, separate from the applicator housing, can replace the need for a full body support as part of the applicator housing. The housing can reduce the size and complication of prior art applicator housings, and can be placed along with the patient, on a patient support surface, such as in a standard MRI system.

Abstract: A powered mobility device comprises two powered wheels, a controller, and a control handle configured to generate control signals in response to being operated by push and pull inputs from a user. The control handle rotates between a first operating position and a second operating position such than an orientation of the control handle is reversed with respect to a forward movement direction of the mobility device. The controller is configured to control the powered wheels of the mobility device to move in the forward movement direction in response the control handle being operated in the forward movement direction and move in a reverse movement direction in response to the control handle being operated in the reverse movement direction in both the first operating position and the second operating position regardless of the reversed orientation of the control handle.

Abstract: A powered wheelchair apparatus includes a chair component, a power base component and a wheelchair control system. The wheelchair control system includes a processor and a user input device communicatively coupled to the processor. A display is communicatively coupled to the processor. A memory module is communicatively coupled to the processor that stores logic that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to receive user instructions from the user input device and display a message on the display based on the user instructions. The display is on a back of the chair component.

Abstract: A syringe augmentation device and methods for using the same may be adapted to receive a disposable syringe. The syringe augmentation device may include a handle body having front and back members, and a syringe injector. The syringe injector may be configured to drive forward a ratchet shaft, which is attachable to an actuating horn. The syringe augmentation device may also include an attachment body configured to attach to the syringe injector. The attachment body may house a compression sleeve configured to receive a disposable syringe. When positioned within the compression sleeve, the actuating horn may abut a plunger of the syringe. In this configuration, as an operator squeezes the handle body, it may drive the ratchet shaft through the syringe injector. In turn, the ratchet shaft may direct the actuating horn against the syringe's plunger, causing the syringe to compress.

Abstract: A power pack unit includes a first hydraulic pump including a first pump enclosure accommodating a first pump cartridge. A second hydraulic pump includes a second pump enclosure accommodating a second pump cartridge. A hydraulic fluid reservoir is positioned between the first and second hydraulic pumps. A first end of the reservoir is secured to the first pump enclosure and a second end of the reservoir is secured to the second pump enclosure. The first and second hydraulic pumps and the reservoir can extend along a common axis. First and second motors can be connected to the first and second pumps. The entire structure can extend along a common axis.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for dual demetalling of an oxo product contaminated with cobalt-containing catalyst residues and recovering catalytically active cobalt carbonyls which comprises treating the oxo product in a first zone with an aqueous solution of a cobalt salt of an organic or inorganic acid to extract cobalt carbonyl partially from the oxo product into the aqueous phase containing Co.sup.++ ions to form Co[Co(CO).sub.4 ].sub.2 therein and in a second zone substantially completing the demetalling of the thus treated oxo product by treatment with an aqueous organic or inorganic acid in the presence of air or oxygen to form a Co.sup.++ salt and using the resulting aqueous solution as feed to the first zone; subjecting the aqueous phase obtained from the first zone to preforming in a high pressure preformer under synthesis gas to convert any excess or residual Co.sup.++ salt contained in said aqueous phase to Co[Co(CO).sub.4 ].sub.
