Abstract: A cart includes a power supply, a display unit, a holder having a primary coil positioned with respect to a compartment to be proximate a secondary coil of a handheld ultrasound probe when it is positioned in the compartment, a charging circuit that provides an alternating current to inductively couple the primary and the secondary coils, light sources operable to provide at least ultraviolet light, and a drive circuit electrically coupled to drive the light sources. The cart may include a dispenser with a container that can hold an ultrasound coupling medium, and a dispensing mechanism having a scoop with an elongated recess that is rotatably mounted with respect to the container to move between a first position in which the elongated recess is in fluid communication with the interior of the container and a second position in which the elongated recess is exposed to an exterior of the dispenser.

Abstract: A three-dimensional ultrasound based assessment device includes a housing having a front end, a back end, and a cavity. An ultrasonic transducer assembly can be mounted to a ball joint which is, in turn, pivotably (pitch, roll, yaw) coupled to a socket proximate the front end. A resilient or elastic sheath retains pieces forming the socket under elastic compression, with the ball pivotally retained therein. A drive assembly positioned proximate a tail or end of a stem that extends from the ball joint may be operated to sweep the ball and ultrasonic transducer. A simple interface provides at least one of a number, text, graphic, color or symbol as a visual indicator indicative of at least one of a measurement of an anatomical structure or a comparison of the measurement of the anatomical structure with a reference, without providing images of the anatomical structure.

Abstract: An apparatus for depositing synthetic diamond on a surface of a substrate includes a deposition chamber and a cooling block having a surface in the deposition chamber that is cooled by heat exchange. The substrate is supported from the cooling block so that the bottom surface of the substrate is spaced from the cooling block surface by a gap, and a gas is provided in the deposition chamber and in the gap, the gas comprising at least 30 percent hydrogen gas. A plasma deposition system forms in the chamber a plasma containing hydrogen gas and a hydrocarbon gas for depositing synthetic diamond on the top surface of the substrate.

Abstract: A method for depositing a substance, such as diamond, by plasma deposition on a substrate mounted over a madrel cooled by a heat exchange, comprising the steps of: determining the heat flux at the deposition surface of the substrate; providing, between said mandrel and said substrate, a spacer having a thermal conductance in its thickness direction that varies in accordance with said determined heat flux; and depositing said substance on said substrate by said plasma deposition.

Abstract: An apparatus for depositing a substance with temperature control includes, in one embodiment: a mandrel rotatable on an axis; a spacer mounted on the mandrel; a substance mounted on the spacer; a plasma, containing constituents of the substance being deposited, directed toward the substrate; the spacer having a thermal conductance in its thickness direction that varies with radial dimension.
