Abstract: A system and method for providing a rotating a mule shoe assembly. The mule shoe assembly is disclosed with a top sub adapted to be connected to a tool string. A spring retainer for retaining a wave spring in a chamber created by the top sub and spring retainer. A mule shoe adjacent the spring retainer that linearly translate and rotate when a force is applied. The spring retainer has one or more pins that engages one or more linear slots in the top sub. A key moves in an indexing slot causing the mule shoe to linearly translate and rotate. The indexing slot is machined in the outer diameter of the top sub. During the stroke of the mule shoe, the one or more pins move in the linear slots and the key moves in the indexing slot.

Abstract: A medical instrument configured to be inserted into a body cavity comprises a body comprises a first probe at a first end, the first probe comprising a first cylindrical portion with a first outer circumferential surface of a first diameter; a first circumferential edge at a distal end of the first probe; a first distal lip projecting outwardly from the first outer circumferential surface beyond the first circumferential edge and extending for at least a part of a circumference of the first circumferential edge; and a first marker lip projecting outwardly from the first outer circumferential surface and extending for at least a part of a circumference of the first outer circumferential surface; wherein the first distal lip is positioned distal to the first marker lip; and wherein the body comprises a hollow cavity to enable a second medical instrument to pass therethrough.

Abstract: A security management system comprises a key management sub-system, an asset/workload management sub-system, and an event management sub-system. The event management sub-system detects events. The asset/workload management sub-system correlates events (irrespective of type) with the assets that generate them, and the key management sub-system uses the event-asset associations determined by the asset/workload management sub-system to automatically orchestrate the necessary key management activities (e.g., key creation, revocation, refresh, etc.) across the impacted components in the information technology and operational realms to ensure data security. In one use case, a security event detected by the event management sub-system triggers one or more actions within the asset/workload management sub-system. Service configuration records are identified from this scan, and assets defined in those records are identified.

Abstract: A general uterine manipulator 10 incorporates an elongated hollow tube 12 defining an internal passage 14. Tube 12 has opposite first and second ends 16 and 18, formed with internal threads T1 and T2; and a smooth continuous outer surface 20 of constant outer diameter. A first fitting comprising a tail screw 22 is screwed into thread T1 and a second fitting cervical screw 24 is screwed in thread T2. An inner manipulator rod 26 extends through the first fitting 22, tube 12, and second fitting 24. A range of alternate first and second fitting is provided. A forceps holder 70 is attachable to the tube 12 between ends 16 and 18. The manipulator 10 may also support a cervical funnel 90 and a plug 92.
