Abstract: In an aspect, a marker kit is provided, and includes a plurality of tip holders, a storage member, and an extension member. The tip holders each includes a tip holder body having a connecting portion, and a marker tip extending from the body. The storage member includes a base with a plurality of receptacles, each shaped to removably hold one of the tip holders with the connecting portion exposed. The extension member includes an extension member body for grasping. The extension member body has a securing portion and an actuatable member. The securing portion is releasably connectable to the connecting portion of each tip holder for removal from one of the plurality of receptacles. The actuatable member is for disconnecting the securing portion from the connecting portion of the tip holder that is secured to the extension member so as to release the tip holder back into a receptacle.

Abstract: The present application discloses endoscopy systems and devices for use therewith, wherein such systems and devices are designed for use in foreign body retrieval procedures. Moreover, the present application discloses methods of retrieving foreign bodies using the provided systems and devices. In one exemplary embodiment, a foreign body retrieval device capable for use with an endoscope is provided. The retrieval device comprises a housing and a capture tool disposed within and movable relative to the housing. The housing has a proximal end, a distal end, and at least one cavity. The proximal end of the housing is configured for attachment to the distal end of an endoscope and the distal end comprises an opening for at least partially receiving a foreign body in the at least one cavity. The capture tool defines an at least partially closeable aperture.

Abstract: An interactive electronic device is disclosed, wherein the device includes a body, a controller disposed within the body, a touch-screen input coupled with the body, wherein the touch-screen input includes a transparent viewing field, a display output coupled with the body, wherein the display output includes a transparent portion positioned within the viewing field of the touch-screen input, and a background disposed behind the touch-screen input and the display output, the background including activity content, wherein the controller is configured to accept an input from the touch-screen input and to control the display of an output on the transparent portion of the display output.

Abstract: A toy for producing a three dimensional aesthetically pleasing illuminated image. The toy includes a handle, a light source, a rotary drive mechanism, and a plate-like member having an outer surface at least a portion of which is a holographic diffraction surface. The plate-like member is arranged to be rotated about a longitudinal axis so that light received by the holographic diffraction surface produces an aesthetically pleasing illuminated three-dimensional image. The plate-like member can be mounted so that it moves along the axis with respect to the handle as it is rotated and can include a transparent sphere containing a three dimensional object, e.g., a cartoon character, therein.
