  • Publication number: 20250098939
    Abstract: A wireless imaging device including a head unit configured to couple to a scope. The head unit having a housing with an internal cavity configured to receive a battery. The wireless imaging device includes a flexible cable having a proximal end and distal end, the flexible cable coupled to the head unit at the proximal end. The wireless imaging device further includes a light engine having a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The light engine is coupled to the distal end of the flexible cable at the first end and configured to be removably coupled to a scope at the second end such that when the light engine is coupled to the scope, the light engine and the scope are freely rotatable relative to the head unit.

  • Patent number: 12085963
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a tube portion can be configured to be fluidically coupled to a patient access component. A source of pressurized fluid can be coupled to the tube portion and can be configured to deliver fluid to the tube portion at a source pressure. A fluid pressure regulating device can include an expandable reservoir and can be coupled to the tube portion such that the expandable reservoir is in fluidic communication with the tube portion. The fluid pressure regulating device can be configured such that, when fluid is delivered from the source of pressurized fluid to the lumen of the tube portion at the source pressure, the expandable reservoir of the fluid pressure regulating device can receive fluid such that the expandable reservoir of the fluid pressure regulating device expands and fluid is delivered from the lumen of the tube portion to the patient via the patient access component.

  • Publication number: 20230310760
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a housing can define a reservoir. A lower cap can be coupled to the housing and define an outlet, and an upper cap can be coupled to the housing and can define an inlet. The upper cap can include an extending portion extending laterally a distance beyond an outermost extending portion of the lower cap relative to a central axis of the housing such that, when the lower cap and the extending portion of the upper cap contact a horizontal surface, the central axis of the housing is transverse to the surface and a sealing member is configured to sealingly engage a sealing surface of a valve seat prior to a liquid fluid level within a reservoir decreasing below a minimum threshold fluid level.

  • Patent number: 10588798
    Abstract: Novel tools and techniques might provide for implementing seat lifting. In various embodiments, a seat lifter might include one or more first pistons, one or more second pistons, and a seat portion. The one or more first pistons, when actuated (e.g., in response to user input), might cause a rear portion of the seat portion to lift relative to a front portion of the seat portion, the rear portion of the seat portion being lifted by a first height above a seat to which the seat lifter is affixed. The one or more second pistons, when actuated, might cause the front portion of the seat portion to lift by a second height above the seat, the second height being less than the first height. In some instances, the first pistons and the second pistons might be actuated serially (in either order), or might be actuated concurrently.

  • Publication number: 20140338931
    Abstract: An aerosol fire extinguisher for dispensing a liquid wet chemical fire extinguishing agent, and a composition for the liquid wet chemical fire extinguishing agent, where the liquid wet chemical fire extinguishing agent is rated for class A, B, C and K fires. The fire extinguisher includes a container and a valve assembly affixed to the container. A hag is positioned within the container, where the bag includes an output tube connected in fluid communication to the valve assembly. An actuator is connected in fluid communication to the valve assembly opposite the output tube, where. the actuator has an elongated output orifice. A liquid wet chemical fire extinguishing agent is disposed within the bag and a propellant is disposed within the container, wherein the bag isolates the liquid wet chemical fire extinguishing agent from the propellant. The: configuration of the elongated output orifice expels the liquid wet chemical fire extinguishing agent in a substantially planar pattern onto the fire.
