Abstract: Tissue sample cassettes for receiving tissue samples may include a lower tray, an absorbent substrate, dividers defining elongated compartments over the absorbent substrate, and a cover configured to hold at least one tissue sample in place over the absorbent substrate in at least one corresponding elongated compartment defined by the dividers between the absorbent substrate and the cover. Related systems, devices, and methods are also disclosed.

Abstract: Tissue sample cassettes for receiving tissue samples include an upper tray including compartments separated by dividers, a lower tray coupled to the upper tray and having a central recess, and an absorbent material located in the recess of the lower tray. Related systems and methods for automated gross processing of tissue samples are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system and method for on-site biopsy management. Patient information is retrieved through a biopsy system. A name of a patient, a biopsy type, and a site of the biopsy information are communicated to a user. Confirmations are received from the user through the biopsy system of the name of the patient, the biopsy type, and the site of the biopsy. A biopsy is associated with an identifier of a container securing the biopsy in response to receiving the confirmation. The biopsy information and the patient information is linked in the biopsy system. The linking is performed at a location the biopsy is performed.

Abstract: The disclosed pathology slides may include a substantially transparent substrate that includes a top major surface, at least two regions on the top major surface of the substantially transparent substrate having a size sufficient for receiving at least two respective biopsy tissue sample sections on the substantially transparent substrate, and at least one visibly perceptible separation mark on or in the substantially transparent substrate separating the at least two regions from each other. Various other related methods and systems are also disclosed.

Abstract: The disclosed spacers for microscope slides may include a spacer body including a material configured to provide an optical focal reference for a microscope and a central opening in the spacer body sized and shaped to receive a cytological sample. The spacer body may have a thickness of about 20 ?m or less. Methods of analyzing cytological samples may include disposing a cytological sample on a microscope slide adjacent to a spacer positioned on the microscope slide, focusing an optical module of a microscope to a focal plane using at least a portion of the spacer as a focal reference, and viewing the cytological sample through the optical module of the microscope at the focal plane. Various other related methods, systems, and devices are also disclosed.

Abstract: Method and system for a direct transmission of motion path data (310) from a generating system (204) to a control system (205) for use in controlling a servo-driven machine. For example, a machine tool for machining stock material, and the data generating system includes a computer-aided-design software package (301). Tool paths for directing the tool members of the machine tool can be extracted from a design file opened by the CAD software through the operation interface of the CAD software (302). Alternatively, the design file can be used to specify motion paths rather than end product geometry. The CAD interpreter application extracts the motion path data from the design file, eliminating the need to translate the data into another or intermediate form for controlling the machine tool.
