Abstract: A mobile telephone includes a body, a display, and a keypad. The keypad has a plurality of individual numeral keys assigned to individual numerals and may be rotated with respect to the body. In this way it is possible for the presentation of information on the display to remain in a fixed orientation with respect to a user while the body is rotated about the display so that the mobile telephone can be converted from right-handed to left-handed use or the display can be moved from a first orientation to a second orientation.

Abstract: A fluid collection apparatus is provided for controlling fluid communication between a vacuum source and first and second vacuum lines of a surgical device such as a core sampling biopsy device. The fluid collection apparatus comprises first and second fluid lines adapted for detachably connecting to, and in fluid communication with, the first and second vacuum lines, respectively, of the surgical device. The fluid collection apparatus further comprises first and second valves in fluid communication with first and second fluid lines, respectively. Each of first and second valves has an open position and a closed position. The fluid collection apparatus further comprises an air vent selectively communicating with first and second vacuum lines, and a valve frame for fixing first and second valves relative to each other, where the valve frame has a latching means for detachably connecting the valve frame to the surgical device.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a hopper loader apparatus for separating and forming an overlapping shingled stream of individual signatures of sheet materials from a vertically aligned, parallelepiped shaped stack of such signatures for subsequent handling operations. The hopper-loader has a chassis; a first continuous, downwardly inclined planar conveyor mounted on the chassis which moves a stack of vertically aligned signatures and deposits them onto a second conveyor as a separated, shingled stream of the signatures. The second conveyor is mounted on the chassis and aligned with an end of the first conveyor. It has a plurality of driven belts which travel over each of an upwardly inclined planar ramp segment, an arched transition segment, and a planar exit segment. The arched transition segment comprises either a belt slide or a plurality of serially arranged rollers.
