It is the objective of the present invention to create additional functional, flexible and accessible work and storage area in the home, office, workshop, automobile, medical and industrial environments by providing means to firmly and securely mount, store and access articles such as appliances (e.g., flat panel video displays/monitors, can openers, weighing scales) and organizing/storage vessels (e.g., spice racks, first aid kits, sewing boxes, knife blocks, tool kits) on downwardly facing surfaces, such as the underside of cabinets and shelves, and on vertical surfaces (such as cabinet doors and frames) and by enhancing access to those articles on horizontal surfaces such as countertops. The invention performs its functions using a small number of readily manufacturable, modular, standardized components. The invention also performs its functions maximizing adjustability, reliability, use of available space and ease and flexibility of installation.

An adjustable mount assembly for supporting a convex mirror or other devices on the top of a cubicle/office partition wall. In one embodiment, the adjustable mount assembly comprises a supporting element having a vertical tubular member configured to securely hold a connecting means, such as a Z-bracket for supporting a convex mirror, an adjustable element insertable into the supporting element, and two clamping elements that when inserted into vertical slots in each of the supporting element and the adjustable element, form a clamping assembly that holds the adjustable mount assembly snugly in place on top of the partition wall. The adjustable mount assembly is adjustable to snugly fit over the top of any partition wall to support a convex mirror or other devices by means of an interchangeable mount adapter and may also comprise release buttons on the adjustable element to facilitate disassembly of an assembled mount assembly.

An assembly includes an attachment arm having an axle extending from a first end of the attachment arm. The attachment arm of the detachable wheel assembly further includes a securing portion forming a second end of the attachment arm, the securing portion of the attachment arm including a pin positioned to extend above a first frame member of a gantry truss and to secure the first frame member between the pin and a portion of the attachment arm. The attachment arm also includes a frame support corresponding to a second frame member of the gantry truss such that the frame support supports the second frame member when the assembly is secured to the gantry truss, and the assembly includes a wheel rotatably attached to the axle of the attachment arm.

A base station assembly for an operating room table is disclosed. In one embodiment, the base station assembly includes a base station that is secured to the operating room table. The base station includes an arcuate rail member with a selectively moveable clamp attached thereto. A vertical support arm extends from the selectively moveable clamp to provide selective attachment to a surgical accessory, such as a retractor arm, armrest, or image guidance reference frame. The base station assembly provides surgical accessory support that may be moved and adjusted by a surgeon at any time during an operation without contaminating a surgical field and without assistance from circulating operating room personnel.

A mount for receiving a cylindrical element includes a retention assembly that retains the cylindrical element between the retention assembly and a base. The retention assembly includes arm segments extending from the base and retaining members disposed along at least one of the arm segments. The retaining members are separated from each other by a gap through which the cylindrical element is insertable. At least one of the arm segments or retaining members is resilient so that the gap is widened when that cylindrical element is pushed through the gap. The retaining members retain the cylindrical element between the retaining members and the base until force is applied to pull the cylindrical element back through the gap. A biasing member extends from, and is moveable relative to, the base to bias the cylindrical element against the retaining members while lacking sufficient force to push the cylindrical element through the gap.

Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for obtaining a three-dimensional (3D) model of an operating volume for a cable-suspended robotic system, where the operating volume is defined, at least in part, by a plurality of cable support structures. Identifying a cable positioned device suspended from a plurality of cables and an object that obstructs a path of the cable positioned device within the operating volume within the 3D model. Locating the cable positioned device relative to the object using the 3D model. Controlling one or more cable motors to navigate the cable positioned device within the operating volume.

A display system includes a table, a track carried by the table, a display device, a mount member, and an orienting mechanism. The mount member is slidable on the track to different locations on the track to enable the display device to be located at the different locations on the track. The orienting mechanism is constructed and arranged to be operatively connected to the display device and the mount member and to facilitate movement of the display device between a first configuration in which the display device is configured to be positioned substantially parallel to a top surface of the table, and a second configuration in which the display device is configured to be substantially inclined with respect to the top surface of the table. The orienting mechanism includes a biasing mechanism that, when actuated, moves the display device from the first configuration to the second configuration.
