Abstract:
An ultrasound device, the ultrasound device comprising:a battery pack installment apparatus having at least one battery coupling mechanism, the battery pack installment apparatus being configured to be capable of being coupled with a first battery pack and a second battery pack, said first and second battery packs having different dimensions in at least two of the x-, y- and z-axes, such as the first battery pack having a first measurable dimension in the x-axis and a second measurable dimension in the y-axis, and the second battery pack having a significantly larger measurable dimension than the first measurable dimension towards the positive and/or towards the negative direction of the x-axis and a significantly larger measurable dimension than the second measurable dimension towards the positive and/or towards the negative direction of the y-axis without changing the physical structure of the ultrasound device or the design or structure of the at least one battery coupling mechanism for accommodating the change in the first and second measurable dimensions.
