Abstract: A chromatography system for at least one of tangential flow chromatography and lateral flow chromatography comprising: an inlet; a functionalised adsorbent chromatography medium downstream of the inlet; an outlet downstream of the adsorbent chromatography medium; and a flow guide downstream of the inlet and upstream of the adsorbent chromatography medium and configured to distribute a flow of a liquid from the inlet across a width of the adsorbent chromatography medium; wherein the flow guide comprises a pattern of channels providing flow paths from the inlet to different parts of the adsorbent chromatography medium along the width of the adsorbent chromatography medium, wherein the pattern of channels is provided so as to reduce a difference in arrival time and/or flow velocity of liquid reaching the adsorbent chromatography medium across the width of the adsorbent chromatography medium.

Abstract: A non-destructive testing system can include a mobile computing device and a video borescope coupled to the mobile computing device via a cloud computing environment. The system can further include a probe driver coupled to the mobile computing device and to the video borescope via the cloud computing environment. The probe driver can attach to a conduit section. The probe driver can also include a positioning element configured to position the conduit section and a data processor. The data processor can be configured to receive a signal indicative of a position of the conduit section and to control one or more operations of the probe driver configured to operate the positioning element to orient the conduit section in the position.

Abstract: A probe driver may include a coupling that interfaces with a conduit section at a first position of the conduit section. A probe driver may also have one or more positioning elements to reposition the conduit section to interface with the coupling at a second position of conduit section in response to one or more commands based on a recorded inspection, where through completing the one or more commands is configured to initiate a second inspection identical to the recorded inspection.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are tissue ablation devices and methods. The device comprises a sheath comprising a distal end that is positionable at an ablation site in the tissue, a proximal end and a lumen extending therebetween. The device also comprises one or more electrodes that are advanceable and retractable through the lumen, wherein a distal portion of the one or more electrodes is deployable into a tissue ablating configuration from the distal end of the sheath upon advancement, and the one or more electrodes are removable from the lumen via the proximal end of the sheath upon retraction, whereupon the lumen becomes vacated. The sheath is configured for a surgical material to traverse the vacated lumen for delivery from the distal end of the sheath into the tissue.

Abstract: A resilient component for attachment to a rigid temporary reinforcement structure, and a rigid temporary reinforcement structure for attachment to a resilient component are disclosed. The temporary reinforcement structure having one or more datum attachment features for releasably attaching the temporary reinforcement structure to corresponding datum attachment features of the resilient component, where the datum attachment features and the datum features of the resilient component have a common datum, and the temporary reinforcement structure is configured to rigidly support the resilient component during assembly of the resilient component to a structural assembly.

Abstract: Various means are provided which enable a user to individualize the appearance of a firearm and further enhance visibility of the various elements comprising the firearm in low light. More particularly, the firearm may comprise a serialized receiver and at least one of a barrel, upper receiver, grip, handguard, and buttstock defining firearm accessories. A light source, means for transmitting, reflecting, and dispersing the light, a power source, and means for activating the light source are then provided to permit a user to selectively illuminate any of the elements comprising the firearm. The light source and means for transmitting, reflecting, and dispersing the light source may be disposed on a means for attaching or even integrated directly into the body of any of the firearm accessories and serialized receiver.

Abstract: A method includes transmitting an instruction to a motive power supply of an elastically deformable device to drive the elastically deformable device in accordance with a drive setting; measuring a force exerted on the elastically deformable device with a sensor; outputting an observed value representative of the force; comparing the observed value with a reference value corresponding with a predetermined force to be exerted on the elastically deformable device; and adjusting the drive setting based on a determination that the observed value is outside of a predetermined range of the reference value. The method prevents slack in the elastically deformable device over time. Related apparatuses, systems, techniques and articles are also described.

Abstract: A system, includes a first sensor configured to monitor a first characteristic of drilling fluid and generate a first indication based on the monitoring. The system also includes a second sensor configured to monitor a second characteristic of drilling fluid and generate a second indication based on the monitoring. The system further includes a processor configured to correlate the first indication with the second indication to generate a baseline value indicative of a characteristic of a well.

A light source, means for distributing the light, a power source, and means for activating the light source are then provided to permit a user to selectively illuminate any of the elements comprising the firearm. The light source and means for distributing the light source may, for example, be disposed on a skin adhesible the serialized receiver and firearm accessories, on a clip slideably mateable with any of the serialized receiver and firearm accessories, or even integrated directly into the body of any of the firearm accessories and serialized receiver.

Abstract: Two new burs to be used in dentistry applications. The two burs are used one after the other to create a natural anatomy in restorations of teeth. One of the burs also reduces the need for anesthetic by providing for minimal contact with the dentin while removing the enamel when cutting into a tooth.
