  • Publication number: 20240293063
    Abstract: A helmet-like medical diagnostic apparatus that is fixed or worn has motorized gimbals that automatically swivel to positions around a patient's head. An end effector extends radially from the gimbals toward the head to place a coil or other directional sensor snugly against the scalp. A coil sensor can be part of a sensitive circuit to measure eddy currents within the brain. Accelerometers, or other tilt-measuring gauges, are compared between those on the sensor and those on the apparatus's base to determine the precise 3D orientation of the sensor when resting against the head. The orientation can compensate coil measurements, find an exact spot again, or map opposing sides of the patient's cranium, even with a fidgeting unconscious patient. The head can be scanned in its entirety, or a spot scan may be prompted from other diagnostic data.

  • Patent number: 9016640
    Abstract: A stationary base with at least two door shrouds extending from a tower portion. The tower portion has at least one groove communicating with a groove guide. An actuating housing is attached to the groove guide and connected to at least one force member positioned between the base and the actuating housing. At least one containment door is positioned in a door groove adjacent each door shroud. Each containment door communicates with the actuating housing with at least one guide pin positioned in a guide slot of each containment door, the guide slot being angled at a predetermined angle to translate vertical movement of the actuating housing to horizontal movement of each containment door.

  • Patent number: 8796525
    Abstract: A musical instrument stand is disclosed that includes at least, a pair of legs pivotally secured to a support portion and disposed within a leg retention channel of the support portion when the support portion is in a closed position, and extracted from the leg retention channel when the support portion is in an open position. Preferably, the support portion includes at least a position stop that limits the extent that each the open and closed positions of the support portion may attain. The musical instrument stand further preferably includes an over center latch assembly interposed between and communicating with the pair of legs, the over center latch maintains a predetermined separation between said first and second legs when the over center latch assembly is in a locked position, and nests within the pair of legs when the pair of legs are disposed within a leg retention channel.
