Abstract: An approach to removing necrotic bone under direct visualization is provided. To remove bone and to watch it being removed at the same time, one example uses an endoscope and bone removal tool assembled together by a sheath. The sheath includes separate passageways for the endoscope and bone removal tool. A surgeon uses the sheath to insert the endoscope and bone removal tool together into the bone tunnel. The passageways are spaced apart such that an axis of rotation of the bone removal tool is offset from the centerline of the bone tunnel. The endoscope remains in the bone tunnel while the surgeon removes bone with the bone removal tool. Advantageously, the surgeon watches the bone removal process as it is happening making the process less tedious and less time consuming.

Abstract: A septic tank monitoring system is disclosed. The system can include a septic tank gauge having a float disposed within a housing, the housing having a first magnetic switch and a second magnetic switch, the float having a magnet adapted to activate the first magnetic switch when the float is at a first level and to active the second magnetic switch when the float is at a second level. The system can also include a controller adapted to receive a signal from each of the first magnetic switch and the second magnetic switch, and to activate an auto-dialer in response to a signal from the first magnetic switch, and to activate a water supply shut off valve in response to a signal from the second magnetic switch.

Abstract: Systems and methods for automatically generating test procedures for a software application. In an example method a user creates a test case model based on requirements associated with the software application under test. The user then generates an interface control document. The interface control document includes associations of information between the requirements and the test case model. Next, a processing device automatically generates test procedures for the software application under test based on the interface control document, the requirements and the test case model. The processor automatically creates a local copy of the test case model based on the interface control document.
