Appl. No.:

10/236894

Inventors:

Marc Friedman - Plantation FL, US

International Classification:

A41B003/00

US Classification:

2132

Abstract:

A knitted collar for a shirt and a method for manufacturing such a collar. The collar includes a knitted collar body having a sewing edge adapted to be attached to the shirt, a finished edge and two selvedges. The body has a pocket at each of the two selvedges. The pocket has first and second ends extending approximately from the finished edge to the sewing edge. The pocket is closed at the first end by the finished edge. A stay is disposed in the pocket of each of the two selvedges. The stay has a first end facing the first end of the pocket and a second end facing the second end of the pocket. A stop stitch formed between the first and second ends of the pocket. The stop stitch closes one of the first and second ends of the pocket for substantially preventing the stay from moving within the pocket. A new type of stay with protrusions is also described.

International Classification:

A61B001/00

US Classification:

600121, 600114, 600105

Abstract:

A medical device sheath apparatus including: a fitting being suitable for receiving the medical device in a self sealing manner; a first sheath for receiving the medical device as it passes through the fitting; a second sheath surrounding the first sheath; a dilator defining a treatment area, coupled to at least the second sheath, and being suitable for dilating a bodily cavity and passing therapeutic or diagnostic energy in such forms as electromagnetic radiation or acoustic energy there through; and, a window operatively positioned with respect to the first sheath so as to enable viewing of an area substantially adjacent the second sheath upon insertion of the medical device into the apparatus.

Appl. No.:

10/335530

Inventors:

Marc Friedman - Plantation FL, US

International Classification:

D04B 9/42

US Classification:

66173, 66170, 2132, 223 84

Abstract:

For a selected collar stay, i. e. , 0. 375 inches in width, for a shirt knitted with selectively sized wales, i. e. , 0. 10 inches in width, a pocket for the stay also knitted but with selectively narrower wales, i. e. , 0. 025 inches in width, so that predictably a number of wales, i. e. , 14 in number, produces a width of the pocket approximately equal to the width of the stay to minimize movement of the stay within the pocket.

International Classification:

A61N 5/06
F21V 33/00

US Classification:

607 88, 606 9, 362555

Abstract:

Physically flexible radiation-emitting probes and associated illumination methods and systems for delivering radiation or light to the interior of a lumen or cavity. Light-emitting devices are immersed in a flowing liquid coolant within a probe to provide high light output power, and convoluted electrical power buss structures provide physical flexibility of a probe about a longitudinal axis. The probes can be configured for delivering light to the interior of any lumen including for performing therapeutic medical procedures at locations in body lumens including the interior of the human gastrointestinal tract.

International Classification:

A61B 3/14

US Classification:

351206

Abstract:

A system for performing quasi-elastic light scattering and fluorescent ligand scanning on a subject's eye includes a light source configured to transmit light toward the subject's eye, a lens configured to focus light sent from the source and scattered by the subject's eye, a measurement reflector disposed to receive at least a portion of the focused light and configured to reflect a first portion of the received light, a camera configured and disposed to receive the first portion of the received light and configured to provide indicia of an image corresponding to the first portion of the received light, and a processor coupled to the camera and configured to analyze intensities of light in the image to determine a location of a reference point corresponding to an interface of a portion of the eye.

US Classification:

382117, 382115, 351206, 351221

Abstract:

A multimodal biometric identification system captures and processes images of both the iris and the retina for biometric identification. Another multimodal ocular system captures and processes images of the iris and/or the from both eyes of a subject. Biometrics based on data provided by these systems are more accurate and robust than using biometrics that include data from only the iris or only the retina from a single eye. An exemplary embodiment emits photons to the iris and the retina of both eyes, an iris image sensor that captures an image of the iris when the iris reflects the emitted light, a retina image sensor that captures an image of the retina when the retina reflects the emitted light, and a controller that controls the iris and the retina illumination sources, where the captured image of the iris and the captured image of the retina contain biometric data.
