Abstract: An overtube device is disclosed as comprising, in at least one embodiment, a body having a proximal opening and an opposing distal opening in fluid communication with one another via a primary lumen formed within the body, the primary lumen configured for selective receipt and passage therethrough of an endoscope, and a secondary lumen formed within the body so as to intersect and be in fluid communication with the primary lumen and, thus, the distal opening. The secondary lumen is configured for selective engagement with a suction system and defines a suction port. With the distal end of the overtube device attached to the overtube and the suction system engaged with the suction port of the overtube device, suction applied via the suction system through the suction port is, in turn, capable of being applied to the overtube.

Abstract: The exercise slidermat comprises a stationary saucer and sliding structure. The stationary saucer is a pedestal upon which the sliding structure is placed. The sliding structure sits the stationary saucer such that the sliding structure slides along the stationary saucer. The sliding structure is a horizontal surface upon which an exerciser performs training exercises intended to improve the footwork for a given sport. The sliding structure is moved across the stationary saucer such that the sliding structure is moving across the stationary saucer while the exerciser is performing the training exercises. The action of combining the motion of the sliding structure with the physical training causes the exerciser to perform the training exercises while visually and tactilely sensing not only the motion of the training exercise but the forces and momentum applied to the sliding structure during the training period.

Abstract: The present specification discloses an overtube device having a proximal end and an opposite distal end configured for selective attachment to an overtube, the overtube device comprising a body having a proximal opening formed at the proximal end and an opposite distal opening formed at the distal end, the proximal and distal openings being in fluid communication, a primary lumen formed within the body interconnecting the proximal and distal openings, the primary lumen being configured for selective receipt and passage therethrough of an endoscope, and a secondary lumen formed within the body so as to intersect and be in fluid communication with the primary lumen and thus the distal opening, the secondary lumen being configured for selective engagement with a suction system and thus defining a suction port, whereby with the distal end of the overtube device attached to the overtube and with the suction system engaged with the suction port of the overtube device, suction applied via the suction system through

Abstract: The present specification discloses an endoscope device comprising a body having a proximal opening in communication with an opposite distal opening, and the body having a nose substantially about the distal opening, a primary lumen or blockage receiving lumen formed within the body through which suction is selectively applied, the primary lumen being contiguous with the distal opening, and a secondary lumen or endoscope receiving lumen formed within the body so as to be in communication with the primary lumen, the secondary lumen being contiguous with the proximal opening and configured for receipt of an endoscope, whereby suction applied through a suction port of the endoscope when positioned in the secondary lumen applies suction to the primary lumen.

Abstract: A device may display a presentation of elements (e.g., icons) on a display component. However, display components have a pixel density that affects aesthetic and practical aspects of the presentation (e.g., rendering the presentation at a variable and inconsistent size); yet, many presentations are not generated in view of the pixel density of the display component of the device. Presented herein are techniques for generating and displaying a presentation of elements in view of the pixel density of the display component, using a scale factor set of scale factors that specify a pixel density range and a scale factor value (e.g., 120%) to be applied to the elements of the presentation. The scale factor set may be kept small to reduce the administrative burden on the designer of the element, while also achieving approximately consistent sizing of the presentation on display components having variable pixel densities.
