Abstract: A adjustable image capture device that includes a housing, a linkage assembly having a bore and including a plurality of linkages, and where each linkage has a bore, and the bores of the plurality of linkages define the bore of the linkage assembly, and an image capture device, wherein the image capture device is configured to fit within a bore of the linkage assembly, where the linkage assembly is configured to fit within the housing, where, when the linkage assembly is in a first state, each linkage of the plurality of linkages are positioned inside a channel of the housing, and where, when the linkage assembly is in a second state, one or more of the linkages of the plurality of linkages are positioned outside the channel of the housing.

Abstract: A diffuser for use with a wound retractor and configured to deliver gases includes an interface tube for connecting to a gases supply and a diffuser interface positioned at a proximal end of the interface tube, the diffuser interface configured for delivering gases received from the gases supply through the interface tube, and the diffuser interface comprising a diffusion mechanism configured to deliver gases in a diffusion direction. A wound retractor with an integrated diffuser is also disclosed. The wound retractor includes an upper ring, a lower ring, a sleeve extending between and connecting the upper ring to the lower ring, and an integrated diffuser interface having a gases inlet and a diffusion mechanism.

Abstract: Provided are methods of producing carbonyl compounds (e.g., carbonyl containing compounds) and catalysts for producing carbonyl compounds. Also provided are methods of making polymers from carbonyl compounds and polymers formed from carbonyl compounds. A method may produce carbonyl compounds, such as, for example ?,?-disubstituted carbonyl compounds (e.g., ?,?-disubstituted ?-lactones). The polymers may be produced from ?,?-disubstituted ?-lactones, which may be produced by a method described herein.

Abstract: Disclosed is a jewelry holder for holding engagement rings and other jewelry while the user is working out or doing other manual tasks with their hands. In some examples, the jewelry holder may be a wristband, ankleband, or hairband with a zipper pocket for safely enclosing a ring while performing physical activity that requires the hands. The holder may be made of a double sided material that includes a soft side that lines the inside of the pocket to prevent scratching to the jewelry. In some examples, the holder may be a wristband made from two pieces of fabric stitched together.

Abstract: An article of jewelry may include a pod unit fitting into the body of each pod unit, both stacking up vertically and horizontally. Each pod unit is provided be so that the body of each pod unit is designed to have a protrusion extending out on one side, and an opening on the opposite side of body along an axis. In operation, when one pod unit is place next to another, the protrusion extending from the body mates or connects into the opening of the adjacent pod unit, to form a chain of pod units.
