20130078161 | Rapid Heat Transfer Sterilization System For Surgical Instruments And Devices - A device and system is disclosed for sterilizing objects, commonly dental, medical, or veterinary instruments, by enhancing rapid hot air diffusion into an instrument container by means of a sliding cover overlaying an opening in the bottom of the instrument container when in the closed position and sliding horizontally to reveal the opening in the open position, allowing rapidly flowing hot air into the container for medical article sterilization. The sliding cover is moved to the open position just prior to the sterilization process by a mechanical means incorporated into the sterilizer with the sliding cover remaining in the open position through the completion of the sterilization process. Once the sterilization cycle is complete, the mechanical means is reversed, closing, sealing, and locking the sliding cover in place over the opening before the instrument container is removed from the sterilizer, ensuring continued medical instrumentation sterility inside the container. | 03-28-2013 |
20150141806 | Device For The Detection Of Metallic Surgical Articles And Harmonic And RFID Tagging Markers - The present invention provides a method of detection of metallic items and/or metallic surgical instruments or articles by a detection device in the event that such articles have been retained in a patient after a surgical procedure. More specifically, the invention relates to a detection system that uses (1) a metal detector or (2) a detector for harmonic-generating amorphous or non-amorphous metallic tags together with three-dimensional spatial position measurement to determine if a foreign metallic article has been retained in the body and if so, to determine the article's location. The invention scans the patient pre- and post-operatively, evaluating three-dimensional differences in electronic response to account for other nearby metallic objects not related to the retained metallic article, thereby determining by inference whether the post-operative electronic response results from presence of a retained article. | 05-21-2015 |

20150217007 | High Velocity Hot Air Sterilization System Employing The Instrument Container As Sterilization Chamber - A device and system is disclosed for sterilizing objects, commonly dental, medical, or veterinary instruments, by directing high velocity hot air into a container having pre-constructed plenums to direct, diffuse, and re-circulate the sterilizing agent uniformly throughout the chamber to effect sterilization of contained medical objects. More specifically, the invention employs high velocity hot dry air as the sterilizing agent, generating the heat and rapid airflow by means of a base unit. The high velocity heated air is forced into the medical instrument container where a removable air supply/return plenum directs the heated, rapidly flowing air uniformly throughout the container. During the sterilization process heated air temperature is maintained in the container by a continual re-circulating of exhaust air back to the base unit for re-heating and return to the container. Upon completion of the sterilization process the container is removed from the base unit, sealing air supply and exhaust air container portals to assure continued sterility of the contained instruments within the container. | 08-06-2015 |

20130301661 | Optical Signal Processing - An optical device, suitable for use either as a coherent receiver or analog-to-digital converter, of optical phase modulated signals borne on a carrier. The signal is four-wave mixed with a pump to generate a non-linear comb of a series of harmonic components of the signal. The modulation-free carrier is also combined with the pump to generate an equivalent linear comb matched in frequency to the components of the non-linear comb. The harmonic and modulation-free components are linearly combined so they interfere in a pairwise manner, and then the interfered frequency components are separated out in an optical wavelength division demultiplexer into a plurality of frequency-specific optical output channels. A plurality of photodetectors connected to respective ones of the optical output channels then converts the analog values in each channel to respective electronic signals which are then digitized using a processor into binary digits using a thresholding process. | 11-14-2013 |
