Abstract: Multiple floor treatment operations, such as burnishing, polishing and scrubbing, may be performed using a single floor treatment machine having a motor, the speed of which is governed by a controller that responds to sensor signals indicative of the type of floor treatments pad or pads operatively coupled to the motor.

Abstract: A seed treating assembly includes a chute assembly, a first metering roller, a second metering roller, at least one nozzle, a tunnel structure, a trough, and a wiper shaft having a wiper membrane. The chute assembly includes a first inclined treating surface and a second inclined treating surface spaced apart from the first inclined treating surface. The first metering roller is supported by the chute assembly and is configured to meter a first seed curtain of seeds to the first inclined treating surface. The second metering roller is supported by the chute assembly, and is configured to meter a second seed curtain of seeds to the second inclined treating surface. The least one nozzle is supported by the chute assembly. The at least one nozzle is configured to spray the first seed curtain and the second seed curtain with a liquid treatment spray.

Abstract: An endoscope includes an insertion portion including a bending portion, an operation portion including an operation lever, a grasping portion including an actuator, and a tube body, in a continuous manner. When the operation lever is tilted, the actuator pulls a wire, whereby the bending portion is bent in a vertical direction and a lateral direction. The actuator is arranged such that a center of gravity of a portion including the insertion portion, the operation portion, the grasping portion, and the tube body is within a range in which at least one of the fourth finger or the fifth finger of the hand grasping the grasping portion is positioned, in a longitudinal direction of the grasping portion.

Abstract: A rotatable fishing rod handle device with adjustable bending and straightening includes a handle body, a wheel seat and a connecting rod, wherein a front end portion of the handle body is provided with a mounting hole inwardly. A rear end portion of the wheel seat is provided with a coupling shaft. The coupling shaft is located and rotatable in the mounting hole. A shaft body of the coupling shaft is provided with a groove, in which a latch protrusion and a spring are disposed. An end of the latch protrusion protrudes outward to a notch of the groove and the latch protrusion is elastically disposed in the groove through the spring. A first position limiting hole is formed at a position corresponding to the groove on the coupling shaft on a side wall of the handle body.

Abstract: Devices described herein include an actuated clot retrieval catheter system. The system includes a catheter having a frame disposed proximate the distal end of the catheter. The frame expands to form a seal with the inner wall of a vessel. In some examples, the frame also captures a clot for removal from the vessel. The frame is manufactured from a shape memory material that can be heat set into a predetermined shape. An electrical connection to an electronic circuit causes a current to run through the frame. The electrical resistance of the shape memory material causes the frame to heat and transition from a martensite to an austenite phase. When the frame is heat set into an expanded configuration, the current causes the frame heat and expand. When the frame is heat set into a closed configuration, the current causes the frame heat and collapse upon a clot.

Abstract: A surgical device including a cannula having a base member at a proximal end, a sidewall connected to the base member, and a bore defined by the base member and sidewall. The sidewall further has an opening into the bore between axially-extending edges of the sidewall. A configurable guide insert includes a combination track having a circular opening for insertion of a camera device and a slot opening for insertion of a cutting instrument. The configurable guide insert may be permanently or detachably coupled to the base member and is positionable in a right orientation for a procedure in a patient's right side or in a left orientation for a procedure in a patient's left side. The combination track slidably receives a camera device through the circular opening into the bore and slidably receives a surgical implement through the slot opening and into an action area outside the bore.

Abstract: A depth gauge wheel for a row planter. The depth gauge wheel sets the planting depth for the seeds planted by the row planter. The depth gauge wheel sets planting depth by setting the cutting depth of the disk opener of the row planter. The depth gauge wheel also scrapes mud from the disk blade of the disk opener. The depth gauge wheel includes a rim, a tire attached to the rim and a ring attached to the rim. The tire contacts the surface of the ground to set the cutting depth of the disk opener and the ring scrapes mud from the disk blade of the disk opener.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to devices, systems, and methods of shaping, shrinking, opening, dilating, stiffening, or otherwise modifying a Eustachian tube and its surrounding tissue in order to improve the Eustachian tube's function. For example, patients with blocked, closed, or hypertrophic Eustachian tubes may be able to achieve improved function including easier equalization of pressure between the inner ear and environment.
