20090036738 | Device for creating a free transcutaneous access to an endoscopic operating area - The invention relates to a device for creating a free transcutaneous access to an endoscopic operating area, in particular to a hollow internal body organ, which device has a conical inset that is to be inserted into an incision. A device for creating a transcutaneous access that combines simple construction with good handling qualities for several medical instruments is, according to the invention, characterized in that several medical instruments can be inserted simultaneously into the operating area by way of the conical inset, so that the individual medical instruments are positioned in the conical inset at a secured angle to one another. | 02-05-2009 |
20120121712 | CELLULAR ELECTRIC STIMULATION MEDIATED BY PIEZOELECTRIC NANOTUBES - Piezoelectric nanotransducers for use in an in vivo treatment of cell stimulation through electrical stimulation are described. The nanotransducers are localized in a target site, and an electrical stimulus is induced in the same site through external stimulation of the nanotransducers by ultrasonic waves. | 05-17-2012 |

20150080663 | Device For Creating An Intercostal Transcutaneous Access To An, In Particular Endoscopic, Operating Field - A device for creating an intercostal transcutaneous access to an, in particular endoscopic, operating field including a base body, which closely surrounds an incision all-side frame-shaped and with at least two websmounted on the base body, which can be introduced into an intercostal space, by which two ribs arranged next to each other can be moved apart. To create a device for creating an intercostal transcutaneous access to an, in particular endoscopic, operating field which allows individual pressing apart of the ribs, it is proposed according to the invention that the at least two webs are mounted adjustable relative to each other on the base body. | 03-19-2015 |

20150327935 | Medical Equipment Support System - A medical equipment support system includes a support structure extending in a substantially horizontal direction for supporting at least one medical device, at least two supports arranged at opposing ends of the support structure for supporting the support structure in an overhead position, wherein the at least two supports are pillars extending in a substantially vertical direction, the pillars being adapted for standing on a floor of a medical room. | 11-19-2015 |
20150327936 | Medical Equipment Support System - A medical equipment support system includes a support structure for holding at least one medical device, the support structure being configured for being held in a substantially vertical direction by contacting a floor and a ceiling of a medical room, wherein the support structure including a vertical column to which at least one holder including a substantially horizontal arm is attached for supporting the at least one medical device, the substantially horizontal arm being an articulating arm. | 11-19-2015 |

20090296527 | SYSTEM FOR MEASURING ACOUSTIC SIGNATURE OF AN OBJECT IN WATER - A system for measuring acoustic signature of a target object in water includes a plurality of rigid segments connected to each other to form a longitudinal member and a plurality of floats connected to the longitudinal member. Two buoys are connected at two ends of the longitudinal member and two weights are suspended from the buoys, thus making the longitudinal member neutrally buoyant when suspended in water. A plurality of hydrophones and an acoustic projector of a known source level are connected to the longitudinal member. The system further includes a data acquisition system for receiving signals from hydrophones and a signal processing means for processing signals received by data acquisition and determining acoustic signature of the target object. A depth/pressure sensor may be included. A pinger is located on the target object to measure range of target object to hydrophones. Range to target object is displayed in real time. | 12-03-2009 |
20120099398 | REMOTE FLOODED MEMBER DETECTION - Utilizing a sonar system to determine if a structural member of an underwater support structure that is supposed to be filled with air is instead flooded with water. The determination that a supposedly air filled structural member is instead flooded with water provides an indication that the structural member is cracked or damaged, making it easier to find damaged members and effect suitable repair. The sonar system is located a distance from the structural member so that it is spaced from the structural member. | 04-26-2012 |
20120186422 | NEUTRALIZATION OF A TARGET WITH AN ACOUSTIC WAVE - An embodiment of an apparatus includes a transducer array and a controller that is operable to cause the transducer array to generate a signal having a frequency, and to direct the signal toward an object having a resonant frequency that is approximately equal to the frequency of the signal. For example, an embodiment of a mine-hunting-and-neutralizing apparatus may generate an acoustic wave with a transducer array, and may disable or destroy a mine by directing the wave toward the mine. The apparatus generates the acoustic wave having a frequency that is approximately equal to the natural frequency of a component of the mine such that the wave causes the component to resonate in a manner that is sufficient to disable the mine from detonating, or that is sufficient to cause the mine to detonate. For example, if the component is the detonator, then the wave causes the detonator to resonate at an energy level that is sufficient to render the detonator unable to detonate the mine, or that is sufficient to cause the detonator to detonate the mine. | 07-26-2012 |
20150225049 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR NEUTRALIZING UNDERWATER MINES - A mine neutralizing device that includes a buoy. The buoy includes a mine neutralizing device capable of swimming to an undersea mine to neutralize it. A method for neutralizing undersea mines includes locating an undersea mine, placing a buoy containing a mine neutralizer near the mine, and swimming the mine neutralizer to the undersea mine. | 08-13-2015 |
