Abstract: A biopsy device holder includes a needle holder, a distal holder, and a proximal holder. The needle holder includes an elongated housing extending between an open proximal end and a distal end. The needle holder is adapted to releasably receive the biopsy device through the open proximal end. The elongated housing includes a coupler configured to couple the needle holder to the biopsy device. The distal holder includes an opening configured to pivotably receive the distal end of the needle holder. The proximal holder includes a longitudinal stop that engages with a portion of the needle holder to prevent the needle holder from proximal longitudinal movement. The longitudinal stop is configured to disengage the coupler of the needle holder from the biopsy device when the biopsy device is moved proximally in a longitudinal direction.

Abstract: A method includes emitting an ultrasonic signal into a test specimen from a transducer, receiving a first reflected ultrasonic signal from the test specimen, wherein the first reflected ultrasonic signal is reflected from a feature in the test specimen and the first reflected ultrasonic signal is internally reflected within the test specimen three times prior to being received, and determining a threshold depth of the feature in the test specimen based on receiving the first reflected ultrasonic signal.

Abstract: A biopsy system includes a cart and a biopsy device holder. The biopsy device holder is coupled to the cart. The biopsy device holder includes a front holder portion and a rear holder portion. Each holder portion defines an upper support and a lower support. The upper support is configured to support a first biopsy device in lieu of the second biopsy device. The lower support is configured to support a second biopsy device in lieu of the first biopsy device.

Abstract: A biopsy device includes a body, a needle, a cutter, and a tissue sample holder. The needle extends distally from the body. The cutter is longitudinally translatable relative to the needle and defines a cutter lumen. The tissue sample holder includes a rotatable member, an individual sample tray, and one or more bulk sample trays. The rotatable member defines a single chamber partially divided by a plurality of tray protrusions extending radially inwardly from a cylindrical wall of the rotatable member. The individual sample tray includes a single sample chamber that is configured to receive a single tissue sample. The bulk sample tray is configured to receive a plurality of tissue samples.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer readable media can be operable to facilitate the determination of an outdoor electronic unit (ODU)-type based upon a signal analysis. A device may perform an analysis of a signal received from an ODU, wherein the analysis identifies one or more properties of the signal, the properties including a peak frequency of the signal. The device may then compare the identified signal properties to one or more properties of one or more predetermined spectral configurations, each spectral configuration being associated with an ODU-type. The device may identify an ODU-type associated with a spectral configuration that includes at least one property overlapping a property of the analyzed signal, and the device may determine that the ODU is of the identified ODU-type. In embodiments, the device may determine whether the ODU is using a passive or active configuration.

Abstract: A downhole acoustic tool and method of use are provided. The acoustic tool includes an acoustic tool body. In addition, a transmitter section located along the acoustic tool body, including four or more transmitters to be driven so as to excite multi-mode waveforms. The acoustic tool further includes an array receiver section located along the acoustic tool body, containing a receiver sub-section comprising four or more receivers axially aligned with the four or more transmitters and spaced axially apart from the transmitter section. The acoustic tool also includes a processor configured to drive the transmitter section to excite multi-mode waveforms and to extract the multi-mode waveforms detected by the receiver section for interpretation of formation properties. A method for measuring a formation using the described acoustic tool is also provided.

Abstract: A biopsy device includes a body, a needle, a cutter, an analysis area, a valve, and a tissue sample holder. The cutter is movable relative to the needle and in communication with the needle for transporting tissue samples. The analysis area is disposed proximally of the cutter and in communication with the needle to receive a tissue sample cut by the cutter for analysis by a user. The valve is disposed proximally of the analysis area and configured to alternate between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The tissue sample holder is disposed proximally of the valve and fixedly attached to the body. The valve is configured to permit analysis of the sample disposed in the analysis area when the valve is in the closed configuration and to permit the tissue sample to be passed into the tissue sample holder when the valve is in the open configuration configuration.

Abstract: A wind concentrator turbine generator has an inlet cavity to concentrate a wind flow to a nozzle aperture. One or more turbine fans are oriented within a turbine cavity such that the concentrated find flow is directed at the turbine fans. A generator is coupled to each of the one or more turbine fans. The generator is scalable from discrete power generation requirements to utility scale power generation. Larger scale generators may be connected to deliver electrical power to regional electrical power grids.
