International Classification:

A61F 500

US Classification:

602 23, 128869

Abstract:

A pelvic splint for immobilizing and maintaining the annular integrity of the pelvis in the event of a pelvic ring fracture. The pelvic splint extends from about 5-10 cm above the iliac crest down to about the middle third of the thighs and substantially encircles the pelvis of the victim. The splint is then secured about the pelvis of the victim with two or more adjustable straps. The splint comprises a flexible casing having at least one pliable padding layer disposed therein and a plurality of flexible members individually disposed in pockets spaced apart about the casing. Once tightly secured around the pelvis by the adjustable straps, the splint conforms to the contours of the victims pelvic area and stabilizes the pelvis by preventing lateral movement and constraining the pelvis in such a manner to preserve the annular integrity thereof. An associated method of stabilizing a pelvis is also disclosed.

International Classification:

H01J 102

US Classification:

313309

Abstract:

A field emission device (100, 150) includes a cathode plate (102, 180) having electron emitters (116), an anode plate (104, 170) having a phosphor (107, 207, 307, 407) activated by electrons (119) emitted by electron emitters (116), and a vacuum bridge focusing structure (118, 158, 218, 318) for focusing electrons (119) emitted by electron emitters (116). Vacuum bridge focusing structure (118, 158, 218, 318) has landings (121, 122, 221, 322), which are attached to cathode plate (102, 180), and further has bridges (120, 220, 320), which extend above and beyond landings (121, 122, 221, 322, 421) to provide a self-supporting structure that is spaced apart from cathode plate (102, 180).

International Classification:

G09G 512

US Classification:

345113

Abstract:

A video display system has a high resolution video multiplexer for synchronizing video sources in pixel-wise registration for display on a monitor. Video sources are overlayed one on another in pixel-by-pixel registration. A master/slave relationship is established between the video sources so that the pixels of one source (master) are overlayed on the pixels of another video source. The display of the master video source is synchronized with the slave source(s). Then the master video source is delayed while the system prioritizes among the video sources. The composite overlayed video is then displayed on a monitor.
