Abstract: As an autonomously guided industrial vehicle travels through a facility images of the adjacent environment are acquired, by either a still camera or a video camera. An image file containing a plurality of the images is stored onboard the vehicle. During that travel, the location of the vehicle is determined. Upon occurrence of a predefined incident, such as encountering an obstacle or impacting an object, an incident message is transmitted wirelessly from the vehicle to a remote management computer. The incident message contains an indication of the type of incident, an indication of a location of the vehicle, and the plurality of the images. The remote management computer responds to the incident message by providing a notification about the incident to one or more persons. The contents of the incident message enables the person notified to take corrective action.

IPC: A61F5/045
Filed: 2013-01-22
Abstract: A spinal decompression system for the treatment of low back pain arising from lumbar disc disease that horizontally separates the vertebra by effectively applying the desired traction to relieve pain and stimulate healing by opening the pathway to the disc while maintaining the basic comfort of the patient. The system employs horizontal separation via a cam that is positioned between a stationary platform and a traction harness that moves relative to the platform. When the cam is activated it pushes the harness relative to the stationary platform. The cam action separates the vertebra by applying traction force to the harness relative to the table support section. The cam can be actuated using a lever arm, a hand cranked worm drive, hand wheel or an electric motor. To control the pressure being exerted on the spine, the cam drive is spring loaded to allow for the relief of any over pressure.

Abstract: Transvascular diaphragm pacing systems (TDPS) and methods are disclosed for providing respiratory therapy to a patient. The TDPS can provide rapid insertion and deployment of endovascular pacing electrodes in critically ill patients who require intubation and invasive PPMV in order to support the physiological requirements of the human ventilatory system. The systems and methods make best use of the contractile properties of the diaphragm muscle and prevent muscle disuse and muscle atrophy. This can be carried out by engaging the phrenic nerves using patterned functional electrical stimulation applied to endovascular electrodes that are temporarily and reversibly inserted in central veins of the patient, such as the left subclavian vein and the superior vena cava. The TDPS can be designed to seamlessly interface with any commercially available positive-pressure ventilatory assistance/support equipment such as is commonly in use in hospital intensive care units (ICU) for treating critically ill patients with breathing insufficiencies, pain, trauma, sepsis or neurological diseases or deficits.
