  • Publication number: 20240050093
    Abstract: The present disclosure includes apparatuses for a motorized surgical handle assembly. An example apparatus includes a non-movable handle, a movable handle configured to be moved away from and into proximity with the non-movable handle, wherein the movable handle comprises a locking protrusion, a selector lever configured to rotate between a locked position and an unlocked position, and a selector cam coupled to the selector lever, wherein the selector cam comprises a surface with a concave locking opening, and wherein the selector cam is configured to rotate in response to the selector lever rotating, wherein, when the movable handle is in proximity with the non-movable handle and the selector lever is in the unlocked position, the surface with the concave locking opening is positioned adjacent to the locking protrusion to lock the movable handle in place.

  • Patent number: 9147284
    Abstract: Generating a computer model to display a position of a person in a defined location is disclosed. A method includes the operation of selecting a substantially overhead image of a defined location having spatial coordinates. A perimeter of the defined location is marked using a graphical user interface. The marked perimeter is related to the spatial coordinates of the defined location. A computer model of the defined location is generated based on the marked perimeter. Multiple levels can be added to the computer model. Spatial coordinates of the person can be determined. The position of the person can be displayed relative to the computer model of the defined location based on the spatial coordinates of the person relative to the spatial coordinates of the defined location.

  • Publication number: 20100116689
    Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides systems and methods of controlling an ion concentration in water, for example, a silver ion concentration. The method of depositing ions in the water includes determining a conductivity level of the water using a reference probe. A power level based on the determined conductivity level is also determined. Power is applied to a deposition probe corresponding to the determined power level using a first electrical circuit, and a concentration of ions are deposited in the water.
