Abstract: The device includes a substantially L-shaped body including a docking station for mounting a wick-based fragrance dispensing bottle within a range of sizes. The docking station can include a number of resilient support tabs that grasp the neck of the bottle and serve to localize the bottle's top wick to a central plane regardless of bottle size so that it can be adjustably engaged by a movable heater. Resilient guide tabs straddling the plane are stiffer than a resilient latching tab that moves within the plane. The heater can be mounted on a sliding carriage that can move along the plane to closely nest the wick for increased vapor emission and move away to decrease vapor emission.

Abstract: A surgical system for performing gastrointestinal procedures is disclosed. The system includes an elongated body defining an endoscope lumen. The body is adapted to be inserted into the esophagus with a proximal end extending from a body orifice. A working member includes at least one side disposed suction cavity and a cutting device configured to excise a surface layer from the tissue that is captured in the suction cavity. One or more needles are also provided in the working portion, which can be used to apply suture to the captured tissue and/or to inject fluid into the captured tissue prior to excision. Particular applications may be to treat Barrett's esophagus, to treat GERD, or for performing gastroplasty in the stomach.
