US Classification:

362321, 362572, 362580, 362103, 362804, 385118

Abstract:

Disclosed in this specification is a luminaire with a vented iris controller disposed on the external surface of the housing of the luminaire. The controller is for dilating and constricting the iris, thus controlling the size of the illuminated spot, wherein the iris controller is comprised of a hollow cylinder, rotatable relative to the housing. The cylinder has an inner ring and an outer ring, wherein the inner ring and outer ring are connected by a plurality of braces and vented spaces are present between each of the braces. Advantageously, the vented spaces help keep the outer ring cool, thus facilitating the operation of the iris controller by a user.

US Classification:

433030000, 433029000

Abstract:

A dental instrument includes a handle and a first light generating system releasably contained in the handle. The first light generating system includes a first light source, a first dental appliance releasably attachable to the handle and coupled to the first light generating system, a second light generating system which can be substituted into the handle for the first light generating system. The second light generating system includes a second light source which is different than the first light source. The instrument is battery powered, wherein each of the light generating systems is configured mechanically to prevent reverse battery polarity.

US Classification:

362105, 362373, 362294, 362157

Abstract:

Wearable headlight devices and related methods are provided and can include a luminaire that can include a housing having a luminaire vent therein for receiving cooling air and a light source contained within the housing. An air moving device can be located outside of the luminaire for facilitating cooling air intake through the luminaire vent. An exhaust tube can be connected to the luminaire and the air moving device to facilitate air flow of the cooling air between the luminaire and the air moving device.

Appl. No.:

8/213677

Richard A. Tamburrino - Auburn NY
Roger W. Leseberg - Liverpool NY

Assignee:

Welch Allyn, Inc. - Skaneateles Falls NY

International Classification:

A61B 105
A61B 106

US Classification:

600172

Abstract:

An imaging system has an optical assembly that can be removably attached to an elongated housing for insertion therewith into a narrow orifice. The housing has an imager such as a CCD array disposed therein. The housing and the optical assembly are secured together by a bayonet connector that is centered on the distal end of the housing. The housing has a plurality of light guides for transmitting light energy through the distal end of the housing via ports that are radially more distant from the axis of the housing than the outermost surface of the bayonet connector. The optical assembly has passages that align with the light guides of the housing, so that light energy passes from the light guides in the housing through the optical assembly along pathways that are outboard of the bayonet connector. The system can be employed for dental imaging, wherein the housing has an elliptical profile and is dimensioned to fit in the mouth of a patient. The housing further has a smooth, continuous exterior surface for receiving a protective sheath thereon.

International Classification:

A61C 100
A61C 300

US Classification:

433 29

Abstract:

A diagnostic assembly includes an instrument having a body portion and a distal camera head, in which a protective sheath encases the instrument body and includes a transparent window for allowing the camera head to view a target. A releasably attached handle overlays the instrument body and includes inner surfaces conforming to the instrument body to clamp the sheath in a predetermined position to prevent the sheath and the transparent window form being twisted during use.

International Classification:

G02B 2326

US Classification:

356241

Abstract:

An apparatus for holding an insertion tube of a borescope centered within a passage along which the borescope travels, that includes a pair of opposed collar assemblies slidably mounted upon the insertion tube of the borescope, with each collar assembly including a cylindrical body section and an annular retaining ring, being removably mounted in face-to-face contact with one end face of the body section, and each retaining ring having a rear end face in contact with one body section and a front end face facing that of the retaining ring on the opposing collar assembly, and each retaining ring further including a series of circumferentially spaced rotor seats each having a longitudinally disposed slot passing through the outer wall of the ring, and a plurality of elongated wire spring members with each end fitting in a rotor seat, thus joining the opposing collar assemblies, where one of the collar assemblies is held in a stationary position adjacent to the distal viewing end of the borescope while the other collar assembly may be slid along the borescope insertion tube so that the wire spring members maintain contact with the passage in which the borescope travels.
