An apparatus for implanting a localization wire, wherein the apparatus exhibits a ready configuration and a relaxed configuration, includes a handle having a slot and a cannula disposed within the handle and having an insertion tip and a projection configured to selectively enter the slot. The cannula is movable between a ready configuration and a relaxed configuration. A localization wire is disposed within the cannula. An actuator is configured to retract the cannula into the handle.

Dental instrument

A battery indicator system for a vehicle. In one embodiment, the battery indicator system includes a power port for the vehicle, the power port having a socket and battery monitor in electrical communication with a power source on a vehicle. The battery monitor is operable in a status mode in which it indicates or communicates to an indicator at least one of the state of charge and the state of health of the power source on the vehicle while a device is being charged or powered via the power port. The power port can include an integrated indicator, such as one or more lighting elements. The power source can provide power to the device to charge and/or power the device and provides power to the battery monitor so that a viewer of the port can easily monitor the status of the charge of the power source itself (versus the charging status of the device) via the power port to ensure the power source is not inadvertently drained. In one embodiment, the battery monitor can be mounted to the power source separate from the power port, and communicate at least one of the state of charge and state of health information for display on an indicator.

System and method for determining a vehicle battery status

An apparatus for percutaneously implanting a localization wire into a tissue mass includes a handle having a grip portion and a base. The grip portion is slidably mounted to the base. The base has a keyway. A cannula is movable relative to the handle between an insertion position and a retracted position. A localization wire is positioned to extend from the handle and into the cannula lumen. An actuator is coupled to the cannula and is configured to operate between a charged condition and a discharged condition to retract the cannula. A collar is mounted to the cannula. The collar includes a key having a key projection. The key projection is not aligned with the keyway when the actuator is in the charged condition and the key projection is aligned with the keyway to facilitate retraction of the cannula toward the retracted position to effect the discharged condition.

Wristband control

A system including an instrument and a vehicle control system is provided. The instrument can include a display and a vehicle controller in communication with the vehicle control system. The instrument can be docked in a docking station of the vehicle, for example in a driver space, and used as primary instrumentation for a driver to directly control the vehicle. The instrument can be undocked and removed physically from the vehicle and used to remotely control vehicle operations from a location distant from the vehicle. A method of using the system and instrument is also provided in which a user can directly or remotely operate a vehicle with the instrument in communication with the vehicle control system. A method of using the system and/or instrument to directly or remotely operate one or more vehicles is also provided.

Removable vehicle operation instrument with remote control capability and related method

An apparatus for percutaneously implanting a localization wire into a tissue mass comprises a cannula with a preloaded localization wire having a distal end and at least one anchor. An actuator is in operable communication with the cannula and is configured for operation between a charged condition and a discharged condition to retract the cannula toward a retracted position to expose the distal end and the at least one anchor of the localization wire to the tissue mass, without inducing movement of the localization wire, and with the cannula being removable from the localization wire in its entirety.

An apparatus for percutaneously implanting a localization wire into a tissue mass comprises a cannula with a preloaded localization wire. An actuator is provided to effect the relative movement of the cannula and localization wire such that a distal end of the localization wire is exposed to the tissue mass. A method for implanting a localization wire includes inserting a cannula with a preloaded localization wire into a tissue mass and relatively moving the cannula and localization wire to expose a portion of the localization wire to the tissue mass.

A receptacle for providing electrical power to an electrical power plug comprises a circuit selector for selecting one of several electrical circuits available to supply the receptacle. The circuit selector is electrically connected to a power terminal assembly, adapted for engagement with at least one power plug, through at least one flexible jumper. The flexible jumper enables the circuit selector to be moved to a preselected position for engagement with mating terminals corresponding to the selected circuit, through flexural movement of the jumpers.

Flexible jumper receptacle

A scroll-type display sign is provided, including a frame, a first fixed shaft connected on the frame, a second fixed shaft connected on the frame parallel spaced from the first shaft, a first scroll roller rotatably mounted on the first shaft, a second scroll roller rotatably mounted on the second shaft, a signage web connected on the first and second scroll rollers, a drive sprocket affixed with the first scroll roller and mounted on the first shaft, a spring sprocket affixed with the second scroll roller and mounted on the second shaft, a constant force spring connected with the spring sprocket to tension the signage web, and a motor torsionally connected with said drive sprocket.

Display sign

An evenly-lit instrument assembly adapted to be front-mounted in an opening in a vehicle's dashboard is provided. The mounting of the instrument assembly is concealed. The instrument assembly includes a housing and a circuit assembly fitted inside the housing. The circuit assembly controls a pointer. A dial is located above the circuit assembly, and is secured inside of the housing. A light pipe is further included inside the housing and positioned just above the circuit assembly for evenly disbursing light provided by a light-emitting source across the dial.
