Abstract: An endoscopic device includes a handle body operatively couplable to a shaft housing. The handle body includes an actuator for controlling a distal end of an endoscopic shaft extending from the shaft housing. The device also includes a pull wire attachment configured to operatively couple to a pull wire extending through the shaft housing and the endoscopic shaft to the distal end. Applying tension to the pull wire deflects the distal end of the endoscopic shaft.

Abstract: Connectivity between remote networks is managed by a central engine that collects and stores network data such as network addresses, URLs, hostnames, and/or other information. The engine creates a tunnel proxy, as well as separate respective tunnels with the remote networks. Based upon network data, the engine references the tunnel proxy to create a logical link joining the respective tunnels. Data can then flow between the remote networks through the logical link. The logical link may exist for only a limited time, e.g., as determined by a timer. Certain embodiments may be particularly suited to empower a customer network to manage connectivity with the remote network of a support provider. The customer can initiate connectivity changes without the manual involvement of the support provider. The customer can also authorize the support provider to manage connectivity and initiate changes under prescribed conditions.
