Abstract: A system and method for automatically logging data to a particular use of an  article, in particular the use of a boning or carving knife (37) in a meat works. The knife (37) having identifying means (39) incorporated therein to identify a unique code for the particular knife (37). A reader (33) is provided at a reading station to automatically read the unique code of a kni fe (37) passed adjacent the reader (33). Data logging means is associated with the reader (33) to log the unique code and the time at which the unique code  was read by the reader (33). The data logging means (35) is associated with one or more readers (33) and reading stations located in an area (11) where the knife (37) is to be used. The area (11) has reading stations associated with one or more treatment or storage locations for the knife (37) at which a reader (33) is disposed in a manner so that any passage of a knife (37) from  or to the treatment or storage location requires the article to be passed adjacent to the reader (33) to enable the unique code of the knife (37) to b e automatically read by the reader (33). One of the treatment or storage locations includes a steriliser (21) for sanitising the knife (37) at prescribed intervals. An alarm and reminder alarm may also be associated wit h the system to alert an operator of the knife (37) when it is due for sanitising or if it hasn't been sanitised properly. The application of the system to gloves and other articles is also described.

Title: Rotary jointed arm for a surgical tray
Inventor: BUCZEK MARK J
IPC: A61B19/02
Filed: 2003-09-26
Abstract: A movable arm for a surgical tray that is connected to the surgical console, is adjustable for height and allows for full, unlimited 360° rotation of the tray. The arm mechanism includes a movable wedge plate containing a sloped or ramped depression that cooperates with one end of a motion transfer pin. Horizontal movement of the wedge plate causes vertical movement of the pin.
