  • Patent number: 11883682
    Abstract: Brachytherapy templates and template holders can be adjustable relative to a patient's anatomy. One template includes a disposable portion with an aperture layer that includes first apertures and a patient contact layer that includes an adhesive on a surface thereof. The patient contact layer is formed from a flexible material. The template also includes a reusable portion that includes aperture plates. A locking mechanism can lock catheters firmly in place. One template holder includes a template compartment retainer constructed to hold a brachytherapy template, and a perineum attachment component is connected to the template compartment retainer by a connecting portion. The perineum attachment component includes a perineum attachment portion formed from a flexible material.

  • Publication number: 20200043371
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to an anatomical model and methods for using the same. The anatomical model of the present disclosure includes a plurality of simulated bodily structures that emulate the naturally occurring structures (e.g., organs, bones, and tissue) of the human body. The anatomical model of the present disclosure can be used to simulate clinical conditions observed in infant subjects and carry out medical procedures and interventions commonly practiced by clinicians under real-life conditions.

  • Patent number: 8512111
    Abstract: A vehicle cowl box structure is provided basically with an air inlet, an air outlet, an air passageway and a flow restriction device. The air inlet is arranged to receive outside air. The air outlet is arranged to convey the outside air to a vehicle HVAC system. The air passageway extends between the air inlet and the air outlet to convey the outside air from the air inlet to the air outlet. The flow restriction device is disposed in the air passageway at a point between the air inlet and the air outlet. The flow restriction device is configured and arranged to automatically decrease airflow from the air inlet to the air outlet as the airflow through the air inlet increases.

  • Publication number: 20100051711
    Abstract: An apparatus for heating a passenger compartment of a vehicle having an engine room defining a ram airflow path, an engine located in the engine room, and a cooling pack located in the ram airflow path for dissipating waste heat generated by the engine is described. The apparatus includes a fan positioned in the ram airflow path, the fan responsive to a control signal to operate in at least two modes relative to the ram airflow path. The apparatus also includes a controller responsive to at least one sensor and configured to generate the control signal to operate the fan in a first mode when the detected one or more operating conditions are in a first state and to operate the fan in a second mode when the detected one or more operating conditions are in a second state.
