Abstract: A ductal access device is provided for accessing a breast duct and collecting biological material from within the duct. The access device may include an elongated member having an outer diameter sized for positioning within the breast duct and an internal lumen for infusing a fluid into the breast duct and collecting fluid from the breast duct. The elongated member may include a central axis extending through the internal lumen and a different axis being parallel to the central axis defining an off-axis configuration. An elongated distal tip extends beyond the distal end of the internal lumen and along the different axis. The elongated distal tip has a closed distal end for navigating within the breast duct. The elongated distal tip may include an internal passageway that is sized to slidiably or removably receive an elongated introducer.

Abstract: A warning system for displaying a warning that a device unit is in use includes a sign unit configured to display warning information. A device unit includes a communication module configured to provide a wireless communication between the device unit and the sign unit such that when the device unit is activated, the communication module automatically transmits a wireless warning signal to the sign unit instructing the sign unit to display the warning information.

Abstract: A method and system for remote testing of a wireless communication device (WCD). The WCD is communicatively linked in a test environment with a host computer that communicates over a packet-switched network with a remote computer operated by a testing technician. The remote computer sends control commands to the host computer via the packet-switched network, and the host computer sends corresponding commands to the WCD to cause the WCD to take one or more actions. In a preferred embodiment, the WCD returns to the host computer a digital representation of the screen image currently being shown on a display screen of the WCD, and the host computer passes the digital representation via the packet-switched network to the remote computer for presentation to the technician. The technician can thereby view the display screen of the WCD as tests are performed. Audio and test-equipment coupling may also be provided.

Abstract: A sampling apparatus is characterized by a sampler and a sample collection station. The sampler is stationary and periodically delivers discrete product samples to a stationary inlet to the sample collection station. The sample collection station includes a deck having a plurality of passages in linearly aligned spaced relationship, a plurality of sample collection containers, and inlets to the sample collection containers that are in communication with associated ones of the deck passages. The deck is linearly indexed in both directions of movement along the linear alignment of the deck passages to place selected ones of the deck passages into communication with the stationary inlet, so that product samples delivered by the sampler to the sample collection station are directed into selected ones of the sample collection containers.

Abstract: A sampler for obtaining wine samples from a wine holding tank is characterized by a manually operable sampler and a connecting device for coupling the sampler to an opening to the tank. The connecting device has open and closed states and the sampler is coupled to the connecting device while it is closed, after which the connecting device is opened to establish a path between the sampler and tank opening. A probe of the sampler, having a forward sample receiving inlet that may be opened and closed, is then manually extended, while its inlet is closed, through the connecting device and tank opening into and through lees deposited as a sediment layer in the region of the tank opening, until the probe inlet is positioned beyond the sediment layer and in wine that is relatively free of sediment. The probe inlet is then opened for flow of a sample of wine from the tank into the inlet and through and out of the probe to a collection container.
