Abstract: A syringe is coupled to a biopsy needle through a coupling structure that includes a motor-driven element such as a gear to rotate the needle. The motor can oscillate back and forth to cause the needle to oscillate. Structures are described to permit one-handed operation of the device and automatic motor activation based on attaining a desired plunger position. Non-electric motors are described along with a mechanism for axial oscillation of the needle.

Abstract: A candidate is enrolled for continuous background check monitoring where a computing system continually electronically monitors data sources that include background check data for data of the candidate for any changes or updates for the candidate, until the candidate is no longer enrolled. If a record is received, an identity matching process is performed to determine the probability the record belongs to the candidate. If the probability is below a threshold or manual review is desired, the system automatically triggers a manual review of the record to determine if it belongs to the candidate. If the system determines the record belongs to the candidate, a verification of the data may be triggered including triggering a county records search using the record as a pointer. The county records search may have more complete information. The system receives the results and automatically generates a report and transmits a notification of the report.

If a record is received, an identity matching process is performed to determine the probability the record belongs to the candidate. If the probability is below a threshold or manual review is desired, the system automatically triggers a manual review of the record to determine if it belongs to the candidate. If the system determines the record belongs to the candidate, a verification of the data may be triggered including triggering a county records search using the record as a pointer.

Abstract: Examples of apparatus, methods, and compositions for endodontic treatments are described. In certain implementations, the apparatus can include a treatment fluid supply configured to supply a treatment fluid to a treatment region of the tooth and a pressure wave generator configured to generate pressure waves in the treatment fluid. The pressure wave generator can include a volume housing an electromagnetically responsive material, a diaphragm including a first side and a second side, the first side exposed to the volume, the second side exposed to the treatment fluid, the diaphragm being movable such that movement of the electromagnetically responsive material within the volume causes movement of the diaphragm, and an electromagnetic generator coupled to the volume, the electromagnetic generator configured to generate electromagnetic energy.

Abstract: The invention relates to a USB stick comprising an oblong body which comprises electronic components and a USB connector electrically connected to the electronic components, the oblong body comprising a first part and a second part which are fixed to each other by means of a hinge connection, the first part comprising the USB connector and being rotatable with respect to the second part between a storage position in which the USB connector is stored inside the oblong body and a first use position in which the USB connector extends from the oblong body, the hinge mechanism comprising a spring mechanism for moving the first part. The hinge connection comprises a blocking mechanism, provided for releasably blocking the first part in the first use position or a second use position located between the first use position and the storage position.

Abstract: A connector assembly comprising includes a housing with a wall and a plurality of connector units. The wall includes a plurality of openings having the same size and shape. Each of the connector units has a base plate, electrical connectors mounted in and projecting from the base plate, a hollow shroud surrounding the electrical connectors and extending away from the base plate, and a skirt surrounding the shroud. The skirt projects radially outwardly from the base plate. All of the skirts have the same outer peripheral size and shape. The shrouds may have a variety of different outer peripheral shapes and sizes corresponding to unique connector functions. Each of the skirts sealingly engage with a portion of the wall surrounding a corresponding opening. Each opening is surrounded by a groove, and each skirt overlaps and covers a corresponding one of the grooves.
