Robert E Fields - Pensacola FL

International Classification:

B65B 104

US Classification:

141166

Abstract:

A semi-automatic fixed or portable machine for the packaging of sand or other granular materials in various containers is disclosed. The machine is comprised of a frame or support which supports and retains a fixed upper feed hopper to receive and store the material to be packaged, a reciprocating rolling drawer assembly to distribute the material to be packaged alternately to seated operator stations at each end, the drawer assembly consisting of flow-through compartments to allow the packaging materials to pass through and into discharge chutes as the rolling drawer assembly is being automatically positioned properly over each final exit chute. The drawer assembly is fitted with an upper and lower friction pan to reduce wear. A plurality of discharge chutes onto which the operator may attach easily suspended bags is also supported. Each discharge chute is configured in such a manner as to facilitate one-hand filling of bags.

Abstract:

A surgical draping system includes an under-draping, an over-draping, and a connecting draping connected by the under-draping and the over-draping. The surgical draping system is used to establish and maintain a surgical corridor to a surgical site or sites on a patient supported by a surgical table. The surgical draping system can accommodate rotation of the patient on the surgical table, such that the sterile surgical corridor is maintained even during such rotation. The sterile surgical corridor extends through an aperture formed in the over-draping, through an enclosed passageway formed through the connecting draping, and through an aperture formed in the under-draping.

A61B 5/01

Abstract:

A system for assessing a status of a spinal implant includes a reader device, a wearable body sensor, and a spinal implant. The wearable body sensor includes a first short-range receiver, a first short-range transmitter, and an inertial measurement unit. The wearable body sensor is configured to be positioned over a portion of a spine of a wearer, and measure movement information corresponding to spinal motion of the wearer while the wearer performs one or more movements while wearing the wearable body sensor. The spinal implant includes one or more sensors configured to measure implant information comprising one or more characteristics of a fusion status of the spinal implant, a second short-range receiver, and a second short-range transmitter. The wearable body sensor is configured to communicate movement information to the reader device. The spinal implant is configured to communicate implant information to the reader device via the second transmitter.

Abstract:

A coordinate locating device comprising a support structure removably connectable to a wearable sensor device being worn by an individual. The support structure comprising a planar surface. The device includes a plurality of different fiducial marker components connected to the planar surface. The plurality of different fiducial marker components includes a set of fiducial markers connected to the planar surface in a non-collinear configuration relative to each other to define a three-dimensional (3D) space of pixels in an image. The plurality of different fiducial marker components includes a distance calibration fiducial marker connected to the planar surface and being configured to define a distance calibration length of pixels in the image, the distance calibration fiducial marker being perpendicular to the planar surface and defining a calibration length to locate a point of origin of motion sensing by the wearable sensor device. A system and method are also provided.

International Classification:

A61G 13/12

Abstract:

A surgical table includes a sagittal adjustment device for manipulating the position of a patient. The surgical table includes a base portion including an upper surface for spacing the sagittal adjustment device from the ground. The sagittal adjustment device includes a first support portion and a second support portion. The first and second support portions are supported by and moveable over the upper surface of the base portion. The first and second support portions each include an upper surface configured to support portions of the body of the patient thereon. One of the first and second support portions is pivotally attached to the base portion, and moveable between a first position and a second position. The pivotal movement between the first and second positions of the one of the first and second portions serves in repositioning the body of patient to manipulate the spine of the patient.

Abstract:

A system for assessing a spinal disorder includes a wearable electronic device having one or more sensors and an assessment system. The wearable electronic device is configured to be positioned on a portion of a lower back of a wearer, and the one or more sensors are configured to obtain patient data associated with the wearer. The system receives patient data from the one or more sensors, where the patient data includes movement data associated with movement of the lower back of the wearer, classifies the movement data into an initial grouping, further classifies the at least a portion of the movement data into one of the plurality of activity categories, generate a score corresponding to the at least a portion of the movement data based on the activity category to which the movement data is classified, and cause the score to be displayed via a client electronic device.
