  • Publication number: 20070213869
    Abstract: A cargo transportation device includes a lift assembly for raising and lowering cargo and an operator cabin in which an operator controls the lift assembly. A load backrest is coupled to the cabin, and an automatic data collection device, which is configured to interrogate wireless communication devices, is coupled to the load backrest. The cargo transportation device includes a computing device having logic for controlling the automatic data collection device and logic for controlling the lift assembly, and a display device in communication with the computing device. The display device is coupled to the cabin and configured to provide the operator with information from the computing device.

  • Patent number: 6899670
    Abstract: An organ manipulator including at least one suction member or adhesive disc mounted to a compliant joint, a flexible locking arm for mounting such suction member or compliant joint, and a method for retracting and suspending an organ in a retracted position using suction (or adhesive force) so that the organ is free to move normally (e.g., to beat or undergo other limited-amplitude motion) in at least the vertical direction during both steps. In preferred embodiments, a suction member exerts suction to retract a beating heart and suspend it in a retracted position during surgery. As the retracted heart beats, the compliant joint allows it to expand and contract freely (and otherwise move naturally) at least in the vertical direction so that hemodynamic function is not compromised. The suction member conforms or can be conformed to the organ anatomy, and its inner surface is preferably smooth and lined with absorbent material to improve traction without causing trauma to the organ.

  • Patent number: 6849044
    Abstract: An organ-stabilizing element is covered with a layer of textile material such as cloth to enhance slip-free engagement with an organ such as a beating heart during surgery thereon. The organ-stabilizing element is supported on a stacked structure of successive ball elements and rings that can be selectively flexible or rigid in response to tensioning of a flexible cable within a central bore of the structure.

  • Patent number: 6816384
    Abstract: A structure for a handheld device with a function of electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection has a circuit member (230), a displaying member (240), and a conductive supporting frame (250) with a hollow region (251). The circuit member and the displaying member are affixed to the conductive supporting frame at the hollow region to construct a subassembly (300). The subassembly is then mounted in a housing (202) consisting of upper and lower housings (210,212) at a location that the conductive supporting frame is just beside a gap (203) between the upper and lower housings. ESD-sensitive components (231,232) on the circuit member and the displaying member are surrounded by the conductive supporting frame, whereby ESD entering the housing via the gap which may cause a harm to the ESD-sensitive components and the displaying member is absorbed by the supporting frame and transmitted to ground via an electrical connection between the supporting frame and ground trace of the circuit member.

  • Patent number: 6730020
    Abstract: A flexible locking arm for use in an organ manipulator apparatus. The flexible locking arm has a flexible state, used to position the organ manipulator as needed, and a fixed state for mounting the manipulator in a desired orientation. Even in the fixed state, the organ manipulator maintains a limited freedom of movement, to allow the organ held to continue to move substantially according to its natural motion during functioning. For example, in an embodiment where a suction member exerts suction to retract a beating heart and suspend it in a retracted position during surgery by setting the flexible arm to the fixed state, as the retracted heart beats, a complaint joint allows it to expand and contract freely (and otherwise move naturally) at least in the vertical direction so that hemodynamic function is not substantially compromised.
