Abstract: A device for dividing a fibrous structure may include a handle having a proximal end. a distal end. and an imaging core extending therebetween. the imaging core configured to image tissue including the fibrous structure: an expandable member positioned near the distal end of the handle, the expandable member being transitionable between an inflated state and a deflated state, and the expandable member includes a cutting element arranged on a surface of the expandable member for weakening or cutting the fibrous structure resulting in its division: and a probe cover coupled to the handle. the probe cover including a covering extending in a proximal direction for draping over the handle to create a sterile barrier between the handle and the expandable member.

Abstract: A universal insulating cap for both standard-style and new-style arrester brackets is disclosed. The insulating cap has a slotted portion sized to receive a rib of an arrester bracket so that the cap may be affixed to the rib by sliding the cap over the rib. A cover portion of the cap extends forward from a slotted portion and is sized to at least partially cover a bolt or fastener that connects the arrester bracket to a mounting bracket affixed to a transformer tank. Projecting members extend from the inner walls of the cover portion and contact the sides of the standard-style arrester bracket to aid in holding the cap in place. The space between the projecting members is sized to receive a rib of the new-style arrester bracket to aid in holding the cap in place.

Abstract: A method and system for removing a slurry from a surface impoundment to create a dewatered particulate cake on a filter bed is disclosed.

Abstract: A system is disclosed for using an audio time and level difference renderer (TLDR) to generate spatialized audio content for multiple channels from an audio signal received at a single channel. The system selects an audio TLDR from a set of audio TLDRs based on received input parameters. The system configures the selected audio TLDR based on received input parameters using a filter parameter model to generate a configured audio TLDR that comprises a set of configured binaural dynamic filters, and a configured delay between the multiple channel. The system applies the configured audio TLDR to an audio signal received at the single channel to generate spatialized multiple channel audio content for each channel of the multiple audio channel and presents the generated spatialized audio content at multiple channels to a user via a headset.

Abstract: Provided herein are methods for miRNA profiling for the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of melanoma and differentiation of melanoma from nevi.

Abstract: Systems and methods using the systems of testing radio frequency receivers include a radio frequency receiver testing device that has a PIN switch adapted to receive a radio transmission, a thermal diode coupled to the PIN switch and controlling the amount of noise within the PIN switch, and a noise diode providing a stable noise source to the radio frequency receiver testing device.

Abstract: A supplement for improving one or more of joint pain, joint health, or inflammation in a healthy mammal. The supplement includes a type II collagen composition, where the type II collagen composition is present in the supplement in an amount sufficient to improve one or more of joint pain, joint health, joint mobility, or inflammation in a healthy mammal that is undergoing or that has undergone physical activity, as compared to the same mammal that has not been administered the supplement.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to processed animal food and/or treat that includes undenatured type II collagen. The undenatured type II collagen is introduced to the animal food and/or treat prior to processing, and at least 30% or more of the undenatured collagen remains undenatured in the after processing the animal food and/or treat.

Abstract: An ultrasound imaging scan head includes a fluid chamber including a gearless voice-coil motor therein. The voice-coil motor mechanism includes a rigid mechanical assembly, capable of moving with the fluid chamber, having one or more transducer elements and motor windings. Within the fluid chamber are motor magnets physically separated from the rigid mechanical assembly. The ultrasound imaging scan head further includes an inductive position sensor and internal bladder wherein the one or more transducer elements are capable of moving within the fluid chamber when a current is passed through the motor windings in a presence of a magnetic field generated by the one or more motor magnets.

Abstract: The position and orientation of an ultrasound probe is tracked in three dimensions to provide highly-accurate three-dimensional bone surface images that can be used for anatomical assessment and/or procedure guidance. The position and orientation of a therapy applicator can be tracked in three dimensions to provide feedback to align the projected path of the therapy applicator with a desired path for the therapy applicator or to provide feedback to align the potential therapy field of a therapy applicator with a target anatomical site. The three-dimensional bone surface images can be fit to a three-dimensional model of the anatomical site to provide or display additional information to the user to improve the accuracy of the anatomical assessment and/or procedure guidance.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a composition or nutritional product containing a cannabinoid in combination with an adjuvant, such as a Type II collagen. The different nutraceutical agents are capable of synergistically working together to improve the health and well-being of a human or animal. For instance, the nutritional product can be used in many different applications, such as to treat joint discomfort and pain, and/or to improve muscular health.
