    Abstract: An otic extraction assembly includes a speculum that has a horn portion and a tube portion. The speculum is substantially hollow and the tube portion may be inserted into an ear canal of a user. The horn portion may insertably receive an otoscope thereby facilitating the user's ear canal to be visually inspected. A suction tube is positioned within the tube portion. The suction tube may be fluidly coupled to a suction source thereby facilitating foreign objects to be suctionally removed from the user's ear canal.

  • Publication number: 20070088589
    Abstract: A system, method and program product for evaluating workflows includes formulating a list of categories for workforce projects to be evaluated. A list is then formulated of questions for each category. Ranges are set up and then applied to the categories. Base line days, a multiplier, and a weight are assigned to each range. A number of assets is assigned for the workflow being evaluated. A derived value is assigned to each range; and a range to each category pending evaluation is input. These standardized evaluation criteria are thus established for evaluating workflows.
