Patent number: 11633251Abstract: Arrangements described herein relate to systems, apparatuses, and methods for an enclosure for a device having a probe supported by a housing. The housing defines a cavity through which the probe protrudes. The probe is configured to move within the cavity. The enclosure includes a removable enclosure body. The enclosure body is configured to enclose at least a portion of the housing while covering an entirety of the cavity. The enclosure further includes a probe interaction portion in the enclosure body. The probe interaction portion is configured to be operatively engaged with the probe such that the probe is configured to transmit acoustic energy to a subject from within the enclosure.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: April 25, 2023Assignee: NovaSignal Corp.Inventors: Jan Zwierstra, Kiah Lesher, Lane Stith
