  • Publication number: 20240138865
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides for an endoscopic apparatus and methods. The apparatus may include a steerable sheath, a control wire disposed within the steerable sheath, and a basket disposed on the control wire. The steerable sheath may be actuated to form a bend, advancing movements of the control wire may cause the basket to project out of the steerable sheath and expand, and retreating movements of the control wire may cause the basket to retract into the steerable sheath and contract.

  • Publication number: 20240138659
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an endoscopic apparatus and associated methods. The apparatus may include a steerable tool having a first flexible tube concentrically nested within a second flexible tube. The apparatus may include an end cap disposed on the steerable tool, an image sensor disposed on the end cap, and one or more light sources disposed on the end cap. The apparatus may be configured for accessing a region within a middle ear cavity of a patient. As such, the apparatus may further include a flexible tube, through which the steerable tool may extend, as well as a pre-curved rigid tube, through which the flexible tube may extend, thus allowing the apparatus to be deployed for middle ear access.

  • Patent number: 11703651
    Abstract: An optical fiber termination system includes a housing, a cable, and a catch. The housing defines a portion of a passageway and a surface surrounding the passageway. The passageway defines a central axis and the surface defines an interior of the housing. The cable is receivable through the portion of the passageway. The cable includes an optical fiber and defines a longitudinal axis. The catch is receivable in the housing and attachable to and extendable from the cable in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis such that the catch limits movement of the cable in a direction away from the interior of the housing when the catch is received in the housing and the cable is received through the portion of the first passageway.

  • Patent number: 11480750
    Abstract: A communication system may include a first chassis having first and second side walls and adapted to slidably receive therein a plurality of cassettes. A first cable hanger assembly may have a first side edge hingedly coupled to the first side wall of the first chassis, the first cable hanger assembly including a plurality of first hangers adapted to support cables thereon. An axis of rotation of the first cable hanger assembly may be substantially orthogonal to a direction in which the plurality of cassettes are slideable. The cable hanger assembly may be rotatable from a first position to a second position so that during rotation from the first position to the second position, the plurality of first hangers move toward front faces of the plurality of cassettes.

  • Patent number: 11345624
    Abstract: The invention relates to treatment of microorganisms from an activated sludge process operating with enhanced biological phosphorus removal in a reactor with baffles or other devices to induce similar plug-flow effort, designed to optimally release phosphorus and/or magnesium from the microorganisms with or without chemical addition. Further, the disclosure relates to a process designed to produce both a lower solids, phosphorus and magnesium enriched liquid stream and a higher solids, phosphorus and magnesium enriched stream. The reactor operates to give optimal performance by operating in a plug-flow mode.

  • Patent number: 10947073
    Abstract: In some examples, velocity and torque based media motor control may include ascertaining a velocity and torque for a feed roller motor associated with a feed roller, and ascertaining a velocity and torque for a drive roller motor associated with a drive roller that is to receive media from the feed roller. Further, velocity and torque based media motor control may include determining whether the torque for the drive roller motor is greater than a torque target. In response to a determination that the torque for the drive roller motor is greater than the torque target, the torque for the drive roller motor may be reduced to the torque target, and the torque for the drive roller motor may be maintained at the torque target.
