Staple and staple applicator for use in skin fixation of catheters
An inexpensive surgical stapler, such as for use in securing vascular catheters, has a plastic applicator made for use with a single staple. The applicator has a backbone and two identical arms. The inside face of the backbone has a retaining channel that secures the crown portion of the staple against movement. The inside faces of the arms have guidance grooves that direct the movement of the staple as the applicator arms are squeezed with finger pressure. The outside faces of the arms are configured to permit gripping by the operator's fingers. The stapler can be used in lieu of suturing. Other staple and applicator assemblies can include two or more of such assemblies.

Trigger operated electronic device
InactiveUS6850221B1Reduce disadvantagesCathode-ray tube indicatorsElectric switchesFinger pressureElectronic equipment
A device particularly for use with a computer comprises a housing for location at least partly between two fingers of a user's hand and an electronic circuit mounted on a board within the housing. The circuit includes a switch responsive to pressure selectively to open and close an electronic circuit, and conductive elements arranged on the board mounting the electronic circuit. A first control element is mounted with the housing and responsive to finger pressure such that pressure applied to the first control element causes the element to operate the switch. The first control element is movable with respect to a hinge such that finger action acts to cause the control element to swivel as a trigger about the hinge and thereby interact with the switch. The second control element includes a flexible material mounted such that pressure applied to the flexible material in different directions and positions acts to change the electrical relationship between the conductive elements on the board and thereby vary an output signal from the electronic circuit. The rear portion of the housing includes a receptacle for receiving removable battery means for powering the electronic circuit. There is an infra-red output signal transmitted to a receiver for operating the computer. The first control element is located substantially below the second control element, and the first control element being in a bottom face of the housing.

Fingerprint image input device and living body identification method using fingerprint image
InactiveUS20030044051A1Improve reliabilityElectric signal transmission systemsImage analysisPattern recognitionColor image
A color image sensor sequentially acquires a plurality of fingerprint images when a finger is pressed against the detector surface. A color information extraction unit detects the finger color in synchronization with the input of the plurality of fingerprint images. An areal information extraction unit detects a physical quantity representing the pressure applied by the finger to the color image sensor when the plurality of fingerprint images are acquired, particularly, the quantity related with the area of the finger in contact with the detector surface. A living body identification unit determines whether the finger is a live or dead one by the analysis of correlation between the physical quantity and the finger color. According to this configuration, even if the finger color does not change much, it is possible to distinguish living bodies from dead ones if there is a sufficient correlation with information such as the area of the fingerprint that reflects the finger pressure. The thickness of the fingerprint input unit is approximately 1-2 mm, determined by the sum of the thickness of the planar light source and that of the color image sensor.

ActiveUS20050204906A1High simulationElectrophonic musical instrumentsStringed musical instrumentsPianoEngineering
An electronic keyboard simulates the keyboard action of one or more acoustic pianos and / or organs. Sensors associated with each key capture the force exerted on the key, the speed of the key and the position of the key to compute an amount of force to apply in feedback to the depressed key. An actuator associated with each key provides the computed feedback value as a counter-force to the player's finger pressure. Feedback may be computed in one or more processors by applying the sensor readings to a system model of the desired instruments mechanical key action. Also, feedback may be determined through a lookup table containing feedback values defining a particular instrument's action. The player can switch between different instrument action definitions as desired, and may tune certain parameters to achieve a customized action.

For controlling a position indicator, e.g. a cursor, on a visual display, e.g. the monitor screen associated with a personal computer or a laptop computer screen, a position indicator controlling device (1) comprises an indicator position controller (6) in the form of a continuous membrane of elastomeric material (8) stretched, in wrinkle-free manner, around a solid form-keeping core (7) held captive in a housing (2) so that by applying finger pressure in a generally horizontal direction to an uppermost exposed, part-spheroidal, portion of the membrane, the membrane can slide on the core to produce a corresponding output signal from one or more motion detectors (11, 12). The indicator position controller gives the appearance to a user of a spherical ball device (such as is commonly used in a laptop computer), but the special shape of the form-keeping core is such as to reduce the overall height requirement and leads to a heightwise compact construction for the position indicator controlling device (1'). According to two modifications (FIGS. 5 and 6), the indicator position controller (6) is realized by a normally spheroidal thick-walled elastomeric ball (8'), or by a solid elastomeric ball (8'') held in a deformed state by the housing (2). The position indicator controlling device (1) can be designed for use as a ball-type device for a laptop computer or as a mouse for a personal computer.

Wholly indwelling, valve-actuated, urinary catheter
InactiveUS20100312225A1Operating means/releasing devices for valvesEar treatmentUrinary catheterPenis
Temporary relief from urine retention often accompanying prostate gland enlargement can be had by catheterization. Conventional catheters extend through the sensitive tip of the penis, causing pain, and preventing sexual relations. This invention places a valve inside the urethra that has an attached, proximal catheter which passes through the prostate into the bladder. Such valve can be opened at will by applying finger pressure against the distal valve tip and pushing upward toward the prostate. The latter tip can be felt inside the urethra, near the juncture between the penis and the scrotum. With the valve in the open position, the bladder can be nearly fully voided, regardless of the degree of enlargement of the prostate. This efficient and easy drainage of the bladder can eliminate the need to endure the painful surgical enlargement of the prostate duct—which can cause an inability to father children, normally, and may cause incontinence.
