Patent number: 12520891Abstract: A medical gown (100) and method of donning are disclosed herein. The medical gown may comprise a top portion (110), a bottom portion (112), a first tie (134), a second tie (136), and a cover patch (120). The top portion may include arms (140) and a neck opening (152). The bottom portion may include a front bottom side (128), a first rear flap (130), a second rear flap (132), and the first tie integrally formed with the first rear flap. The first and second rear flaps may extend from opposite edges of the front bottom side. The cover patch may be configured to at least partially couple the top portion and the bottom portion together. The second tie may be coupled between the cover patch and the bottom portion. The medical gown may provide easy donning and doffing as well as be optimally configured for manufacturing using automation.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2022Date of Patent: January 13, 2026Assignee: DePre, LLCInventors: Mark Edward Justice, Sam Griffin, Todd Max Cupp, William Todd Klempnauer, Christopher Joseph Schulze, Ethan Edward Valentine, Robert E.

Patent number: 12125617Abstract: A medical temperature monitoring system includes an electrical wire set having a thermistor at a distal end of the wire set configured to sense temperatures to which the thermistor is exposed; an electronic circuit in electrical communication with the wire set and the thermistor and configured to convert the temperatures sensed by the thermistor to temperature display signals; a display in electrical communication with the electronic circuit for receiving the temperature display signals and displaying temperatures corresponding to the temperature display signals; and a bead of cured protective material encapsulating the thermistor. The protective material is a radiation curable adhesive applied to the thermistor in an uncured state and then cured to encapsulate the thermistor. The bead of cured protective material electrically isolates the conductor sufficient to pass a Hi-Pot test at 500 VAC, <0.1 mA.Type: GrantFiled: May 8, 2023Date of Patent: October 22, 2024Assignee: DeRoyal Industries, Inc.Inventors: Sam Griffin, Eduardo Diaz, Vincent Denis Jardret, Zachary C. Ziegler, Ethan Edward Valentine

Publication number: 20130329217Abstract: A system for aligning a bed of an imaging system with an imaging plane. The system includes a laser device which generates a laser beam and a target element having a target detecting surface. The system also includes a reflective element which receives the laser beam. The reflective element includes a reflective detecting surface for detecting a first position of the laser beam. A first parameter of the bed is adjusted until the laser beam is positioned on a first center portion of the reflective detecting surface. In addition, the laser beam is reflected to the target detecting surface to detect a second position of the laser beam. A second parameter of the bed is adjusted until the laser beam is positioned on a second center portion of the target detecting surface to orient the bed substantially perpendicular to the imaging plane.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 11, 2012Publication date: December 12, 2013Applicant: SIEMENS MEDICAL SOLUTIONS USA, INC.Inventors: Shikui Yan, Thomas Bruckbauer, Travis Pless, Robert Scott Beach, Sam Griffin
