Filed:

Sep 28, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/950514

Inventors:

Bill R. Norvell - Red Oak TX, US
Robert A. York - Santa Barbara CA, US
Michael P. Grace - Santa Barbara CA, US

Assignee:

Toyon Research Corporation - Goleta CA

International Classification:

H01Q 3/24

US Classification:

343876, 343700 MS

Abstract:

Controlled phase shift in the operation of an RF antenna element is achieved by selectively choosing between different modes of antenna element resonance. Additional phase control resolution is achieved by combining this with other types of phase shifters. Such phase shifters are especially useful within a phased array of RF antenna radiator elements.

International Classification:

H05B 47/105
A61B 90/30
F21V 21/40

Abstract:

A method for controlling a medical light by a handle assembly removably mounted to the medical light includes storing configuration data at a controller of the handle assembly that defines a mapping of handle assembly user inputs to medical light property adjustments; detecting a first user input to the handle assembly; and sending a control signal to the medical light to vary a property of light provided by the medical light according to the first user input and the configuration data.

Assignee:

Stryker Corporation - Kalamazoo MI

International Classification:

A61B 90/35

Abstract:

A surgical light for illuminating a target with light that has a reduced contribution of a portion of the visible spectrum includes a first light source configured to emit light having a first spectrum; a second light source configured to emit light having a second spectrum that does not include the portion of the visible spectrum; and a controller configured to simultaneously activate the first and second light sources for illuminating the target with light that has a reduced contribution of light in the portion of the visible spectrum relative to white light.

International Classification:

G02B 3/08
G02B 5/00

US Classification:

359738, 359742

Abstract:

A Fresnel lens including a plurality of sawtooth-shaped projections, with each projection including a first surface at a first angle and a second surface at a second angle. Each first surface has top and bottom edges and each second surface has top and bottom edges. Each projection has a top intersection where the top edge of the first surface intersects the top edge of the second surface. Adjacent projections have a bottom intersection where the bottom edge of the second surface of a first one of the adjacent projections intersects the bottom edge of the first surface of a second one of the adjacent projections. The lens portion is opaque at the top intersection of the projections, at the bottom intersection of adjacent projections, and on the first surface between the top intersection and the bottom intersection.

US Classification:

362235

Abstract:

A surgical light including a substrate having a substantially planar top surface with a plurality of light sources on the substantially planar top surface, with each of the light sources emitting light in a cone when activated. The cone has a first spread angle. An optical system having a first area such that the light emitted from the light sources has a second spread angle after passing through the first area and a second area focusing or redirecting the light passing through the first area at a location a desired distance from the optical system. The second spread angle is less than the first spread angle.
