US Classification:
348/086000, 382/152000
Abstract:
A modular assisted visualization system includes an image manipulation module in communication with a work piece manipulation device, a camera module and at least one remote image manipulation module. The camera module, which is coupled to the work piece manipulation device and includes a camera lens and a light, provides a visual image of a work area of the work piece manipulation device. The visual image provided is displayed on the image manipulation module. The image manipulation module lays down at least one of a grid and a cut line on a work piece, by using the camera lens. The grid or cut line is established by data received by the image manipulation module from an operator. The work piece manipulation device, controlled by the image manipulation module, is engaged upon the grid or cut line established on the work piece.

Abstract:
Drug storage and dispensing devices for dispensing dosage forms to the oral mucosa of a patient are disclosed. The drug storage and dispensing device is a single dose applicator or a device which includes a means to retard or prevent saliva and/or moisture ingress such that the drug dosage forms in the device remain dry prior to administration.
System And Method For Providing Gyroscopic Stabilization To A Wheeled Vehicle

Assignee:
THE GYROBIKE, INC. - San Francisco CA
International Classification:
B62H 7/00
US Classification:
280293
Abstract:
This invention provides a stabilizing system and method for two-wheeled vehicles that affords the rider no restriction on the full range of movements (banks, leans, etc.) common to bicycles, but that provides greater stability during turns and other maneuvers so that an unintentional bank or tilt (potentially causing a fall) is less likely, even at relatively slow speeds and startup. A rotating mass of predetermined mass-value and radial mass-distribution is provided coaxially with the front axle. The mass is supported on bearings so as to freewheel with respect to the rotation of the front wheel. As such it can be induced to spin significantly faster than the front wheel thereby generating a gyroscopic effect at the front wheel about the axle. This gyroscopic effect influences the steering of the wheel by the rider. Due to precession, the wheel tends to follow any excessive bank by the vehicle, ensuring that the rider can “steer-out-of” an unintended tilt or bank. Likewise, the gyroscopic effect limits the rider's ability to execute excessive steering, thereby preventing jackknife movements. The mass can be an electric-motor-driven flywheel within a shell housing that includes a battery, control system and drive motor. The drive motor engages a surface of the flywheel with a drive tire in a resilient manner to reduce potential damage to the motor.
