Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus (20) for facilitating medical imaging of a subject, comprising: a medical imaging device receiver configured to receive an ultrasound medical imaging device, a sound wave manipulation module comprising a soundwave deflection surface (113) arranged to direct transmission of sound waves between the ultrasound medical imaging device and the subject, and at least one auxiliary equipment receiver configured to receive an auxiliary equipment and to provide a pathway for insertion of the auxiliary equipment, wherein the pathway extends from the soundwave deflection surface to a base plane of the apparatus when rested on the subject, and an image of the subject is formed by the ultrasound medical imaging device for guiding insertion of the auxiliary equipment towards a target portion of the subject, and wherein the position of the pathway is calibrated for the ultrasonic medical imaging device being used (132).

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an apparatus for facilitating medical imaging of a subject. The apparatus comprises a medical imaging device receiver configured to receive a medical imaging device, at least one auxiliary equipment receiver configured to receive an auxiliary equipment for placement at a target portion of the subject, and a sound wave manipulation module arranged to direct transmission of sound waves between the medical imaging device and the subject, wherein an image of the target portion is formed by the medical imaging device for guiding placement of the auxiliary equipment. In particular, the medical imaging device is an ultrasound probe, the auxiliary equipment is a needle, catheter or endoscope, while the sound wave manipulation module comprises a sound wave deflection surface arranged to alter a direction of transmission of at least part of the sound waves. The present disclosure also relates to a method of deploying the apparatus.

Abstract: A stackable baby bottle assembly with a nestable cap comprises a bottle base, a ring, a nipple, a cap, and, optionally, a sieve. The bottle base includes a plurality of edge members. A plurality of bottle bases may be stacked for storage. When a plurality of bottle bases are stacked, the edge members form space between the bottle bases, thereby permitting air to flow between the bottle bases. The bottle base and cap may include nesting regions, such that the cap may be inverted and snapped onto place onto the bottom of the bottle base, which may be convenient during feeding. A plurality of caps may be stacked for storage.

Abstract: The invention relates to a design analysis technique for a test pattern analysis of chips via automatic test equipment (ATE) or a circuit simulation to detect potential design weakness or abnormal behavior in real customer application faults. Problems are solved by comprising a simulation procedure stored in an LRT database of automatic test equipment (ATE), defining test conditions and test patterns which execute and generate continuously for a time given by a user, applying the test stimuli and test conditions to a device under test (DUT) and starting the long running test (LRT), stopping the test automatically if any application faults occur and logging the failure time and timely test sequence and starting another test again until a given maximum number of tests are reached.
