Abstract: An energy monitoring system includes a memory storing instructions to execute an energy modeling technique and processing circuitry for executing the instructions to operate the energy modeling technique. The energy modeling technique includes receiving energy data from a plurality of segments representative of one or more logical subgroups. The energy modeling technique includes categorizing the energy data of the logical subgroups into a plurality of segments. The energy modeling technique includes organizing the plurality of segments into a plurality of state-based hierarchical levels. The energy modeling technique includes calculating energy usage and factors associated with the plurality of state-based hierarchical levels via an energy model. The energy modeling technique includes outputting a visualization representative of the energy data corresponding to each of the segments to a monitoring and control system, resulting in a graphical representation accessible by a user-viewable screen.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus detect wiring error(s), identify to the user what wiring error has been detected, and redefine the wiring configuration. An indication is provided to the user that the apparatus has redefined the wiring configuration. Steps may be automated and/or initiated by the user.

Abstract: A method of fixing a dental implant assembly is described. The assembly includes an implant, a driver/abutment device, and a spacer. The bottom portion of the device has a protrusion with an inferior aspect and a superior aspect. The spacer prevents the oversized, superior aspect of the device from engaging an interior cavity of the implant so that the driver is easily removable after insertion of the implant in the jaw of a patient. Removing the spacer permits the superior aspect to engage the interior cavity, thereby permanently fixing the driver to the implant.

Abstract: An integrated viewing assembly for an endoscope having an eyepiece and a handle incorporating a light source. The viewing assembly includes a hub having distal and proximal ends, a middle portion and an outer surface defining a port. The distal end defines a receiver in fluid communication with the port and adapted for onnection to an endotracheal tube. The port is adapted for connection to a gas source. A stylus is constructed and arranged to be fixedly connected to the hub within the receiver. Viewing and lighting conduits are carried by the hub and stylus. A coupler is located on the proximal end of the hub about the viewing conduit and is adapted for connection to the eyepiece. A connector on the middle portion of the hub connects to the handle. The receiver is located a predetermined distance from the longitudinal axis of the handle to facilitate tactile contact with a flange on the endotracheal tube connected to the receiver by the practitioner holding the handle.
