Epiphan Exhibits Ultrasound Image Capture Systems

Epiphan Systems exhibited its next-generation Mediphan ultrasound image capture systems at the First World Congress on Ultrasound in Medical Education, which was held in South Carolina on 29-30 April. Customers and business partners were able to see demonstrations of Epiphan's products and solutions for the capture, recording, broadcast and streaming of ultrasound imaging. The Medrecorder II, Mediphan's next-generation portable recording appliance, can be used to record an ultrasound system's display output, an audio annotations source and an optional camera.

Along with the ultrasound display, the analogue camera source can provide visuals of the ultrasound device operator's hand or a panoramic view of the patient. The Medrecorder II also has external remote-control devices such as foot pedals, clickers and Epiphan's new Epiphantouch, an application for Ipad, Iphone and Itouch devices that is used to control the Medrecorder and the Medrecorder II. The Medrecorder II comes with 128G or 256G of internal storage. Another product on display at the event, the Distancedoc II is Mediphan's next-generation portable streaming appliance that can be used to live stream an ultrasound system's VGA/DVI or HDMI display output, an audio annotations source and an optional camera source.

Again, the analogue camera source can be used to provide visuals of the ultrasound device operator's hand or a panoramic view of the patient or the attending professional. In addition to streaming, the Distancedoc II can record the images being streamed to an internal storage device or to a USB-connected flash drive. The Distancedoc II also has external remote-control devices such as foot pedals, clickers and the Epiphantouch application. The Distancedoc II comes with 4G of internal storage. Epiphantouch lets users remotely control and administer the Medrecorder, the Medrecorder II, the Distancedoc, the VGA2Ethernet and other Epiphan video recording appliances.

The Epiphan VGA2Ethernet is a new application for Ipad, Itouch and Iphone devices that lets users remotely view, control and take snapshots of ultrasound images using a VGA2Ethernet connected to an ultrasound system. Users can view live ultrasound images and save snapshots of images to their local Ipad, Itouch and Iphone photo albums. Also on display, a new range of frame grabbers makes an ultrasound machine display appear to be a camera source to professional audio-video content production applications such as Finalcut, Camtasia, Adobe Connect and other training content creation tools.

The high-resolution frame grabbers are designed to support the capture, recording and replay of high-resolution ultrasound images for medical training and education applications. The VGA Printer, meanwhile, is described as a one-touch specialised video source printing solution that can print an ultrasound display from a VGA, DVI or HDMI video signal output to a standard postscript printer with the push of a button. This product can be used to create printed images for patient billing records.

The VGA/DVI Grid, also exhibited at the First World Congress on Ultrasound in Medical Education, non-obtrusively relays, synchronises, timestamps, records, streams and/or replays one or more ultrasound (DVI , VGA or HDMI) display signals and one or more or attendant camera sources onto any number of display channels. This is suitable for ultrasound clinics and training facilities that want to record, share and replay ultrasound equipment display images, camera sources and views for clinical and medical training.

The VGA Recorder Pro provides screen, video and audio recording for medical training video creation. It supports screen and video camera input, synchronised picture-on-picture overlays with an optional branding logo window and a timestamping window for creating medical training video content. In addition to the ultrasound display, the analogue camera source can provide a view of the presenter, the ultrasound device operator's hand or a panoramic view of the patient.

What is Class I Division 2?

Image
A Class I Division 2 is a location: (1) In which volatile flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are handled, processed, or used, but in which the liquids, vapors, or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or systems or in case of abnormal operation of equipment, or (2) In which ignitable concentrations of flammable gases, flammable liquid-produced vapors, or combustible liquid-produced vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation, and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operation of the ventilating equipment. Class I Division 2 Classification Class I Division 2 refers to the ANSI/ISA 12.12.01 standard. This standard was previously UL1604 until UL recommended the newer ANSI/ISA standard be used and that all hazardous location products be certified under this standa...

FUSE SIZING CONSIDERATIONS FOR HIGHER EFFICIENCY MOTORS

Image
When selecting the proper fuse for short circuit protection in motor starting applications, it is important to not only ensure that the fuse will not nuisance open during motor start up times, but also that the fuse will coordinate as required with overload relays. When sizing fuses between 125% and 150% of the motor nameplate current, several advantages, including ease of coordination with an overload device, a smaller disconnect, and increased short circuit protection from a lower fuse rating, can be achieved. However, if sizing at this level prevents the motor from starting, it may then be necessary to increase the fuse ampere rating and it then becomes important to know the NEC sizing limitations. As of June 1, 2016, the US Department of Energy has mandated that newly manufactured electric motors will need to meet NEMA Premium® efficiency standards. As motor efficiencies increase, motor locked rotor currents can also be expected to increase. In addition to this, with across-the-lin...

7/8 16UN Connectors that Provide 600 Volts and 15 Amps

TURCK announces new A-Size 3 and 4-pin 7/8 16UN powerfast™ connectors that provide up to 600 Volts and 15 Amps of power. These IP67 rated connectors provide a modular wiring system designed to handle high current applications for machine power distribution, while providing resistance to vibration commonly associated with conveyors, motors and material handling applications. The cordsets are available with a tray rated, exposed run PVC flexlife ® cable, with or without STOOW rating, and 14 AWG wires that allow you to replace hard wiring with a robust, quick disconnect system that saves the time and money spent installing a conduit system. The A-Size powerfast line offers male and female, straight connectors, standard and custom lengths, and pigtails or extensions. To make the system complete, fully encapsulated mating receptacles, with 1/2”-14 NPT mounting threads are available.
