A first acquisition unit acquires the current position of a carriage unit as information regarding the travel environment of the carriage unit. A second acquisition unit acquires a first upper limit value of the travel speed as appropriate travel conditions of the carriage unit corresponding to the current position acquired by the first acquisition unit. A third acquisition unit acquires a first measurement value of the travel speed as information regarding the travel state of the carriage unit. A travel state correction controller performs travel state correction control to make a correction to a travel state satisfying the appropriate travel conditions in a case where the travel state acquired by the third acquisition unit deviates from the appropriate travel conditions acquired by the second acquisition unit. That is, the travel state correction controller reduces the travel speed of the carriage unit in a case where the first measurement value exceeds the first upper limit value.

MEDICAL IMAGING DEVICE

In a medical imaging device, a device body has a first mating portion on its upper surface, and an operation unit has a second mating portion configured to movably mate with the first mating portion.

A mobile radiography system includes a wheeled transport frame and a telescoping vertical column mounted on the transport frame. The vertical column includes a stationary base section and a vertically movable upper section coupled to the base section. A cap is positioned in a nest at the top of the movable upper section whereby a counterweight in the movable upper section displaces the cap when the counterweight is extended through the nest and replaces the cap in the nest when the counterweight is retracted into the movable upper section. A padded section of the nest and the counterweight prevents impact noise when the cap contacts the nest or the counterweight. Magnets are used to hold the cap and the nest together in alignment when they are adjacent.

Blood processing apparatus comprising a holder device for a measurement device

A blood processing apparatus includes a measurement device having at least one chamber element extending along a longitudinal axis and including a circumferential wall extending about the longitudinal axis, a bottom wall and a top wall together defining a flow chamber. The blood processing apparatus further includes a holder for the measurement device, the holder including a base having a reception opening for receiving the measurement device and a closure element movably arranged on the base for locking the measurement device in an inserted position in the reception opening. An ultrasonic sensor of the holder is arranged on the base. The ultrasonic sensor, in the inserted position of the measurement device, faces the bottom wall of the at least one chamber element, wherein the bottom wall extends transversely with respect to the longitudinal axis.

Surgical tool systems and methods

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a surgical robot system may include an end-effector element configured for controlled movement and positioning and tracking of surgical instruments and objects relative to an image of a patient's anatomical structure. In some embodiments the end-effector and instruments may be tracked by surgical robot system and displayed to a user. In some embodiments, tracking of a target anatomical structure and objects, both in a navigation space and an image space, may be provided by a dynamic reference base located at a position away from the target anatomical structure.

Infrared signal based position recognition system for use with a robot-assisted surgery

An improved device for regenerating an infrared signal transmitted over the air for use in detecting a 3-dimensional position of an object. The regeneration device includes an infrared signal transmitter and detector that receives from the object a responsive infrared signal in response to the infrared signal transmitted by the transmitter. A low pass filter receives the responsive infrared signal from the detector and outputs a low-pass filtered signal. A comparator compares the output of the infrared signal detector and output of the low pass filter and generates an output representing a logic state based on the comparison.

Automated interpretive medical care system and methodology

Improved apparatus and methods for monitoring, diagnosing and treating at least one medical respiratory condition of a patient are provided, including a medical data input interface adapted to provide at least one medical parameter relating at least to the respiration of the patient, and a medical parameter interpretation functionality (104, 110) adapted to receive the at least one medical parameter relating at least to the respiration (102) of the patient and to provide at least one output indication (112) relating to a degree of severity of at least one medical condition indicated by the at least one medical parameter.
