Patent number: 11805994Abstract: A colposcope includes an inserter including an elongated body defining an interior space and an image capture device configured to be selectively and slidably positioned within the interior space of the elongated body. The elongated body has a distal end portion and a proximal end portion. The distal end portion is substantially funnel shaped and has a distal end that includes first and second portions. The first portion includes a base at a first edge of the distal end, and the second portion includes a lip at a second edge of the distal end that is diametrically opposed from the first edge. The lip is positioned further from the proximal end portion than the base.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2018Date of Patent: November 7, 2023Assignee: Duke UniversityInventors: Nirmala Ramanujam, Mercy Asiedu, Christopher Lam, Jenna Mueller, Julia Agudogo, Robert Miros

Publication number: 20190150725Abstract: Disclosed herein are colposcopes, mammoscopes, and speculum-free imaging methods (inserters) having curved ends and flat ends and associated methods. According to an aspect, an inserter includes an elongate body defining an interior space and having a distal end, a proximate end, and an axis extending between the distal end and the proximate end. The distal end is substantially funnel shaped and defines a wide portion and a narrow portion. The narrow portion is closer to the proximate end than the wide portion. An edge of a first portion of the wide portion extends further from the proximate end than an edge of a second portion of the wide portion.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2017Publication date: May 23, 2019Inventors: Nirmala Ramanujam, Mercy Asiedu, Christopher Lam, Jenna Mueller, Julia Agudogo, Robert Miros

Patent number: 7070075Abstract: Hydration systems with improved fluid reservoirs. An elongate drinking tube extends from the reservoir and includes a distal end upon which a mouthpiece may be mounted. In some embodiments, the mouthpiece is a self-sealing mouthpiece. The reservoir includes a fill port, through which drink fluid may be added to the reservoir, and a closure member in the form of a cap for selectively sealing the fill port. In some embodiments, the reservoir includes a support member that extends around the fill port, including a handle that projects generally away from the fill port, and is adapted to provide a counter lever to assist in opening and closing of the fill port and/or to position the reservoir for filling. In some embodiments, the hydration system includes a pack into which the reservoir is received.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2004Date of Patent: July 4, 2006Assignee: CamelBak Products, LLCInventors: Barley A. Forsman, Robert Miros, Robert Choi

Patent number: 7063243Abstract: Hydration systems with improved fluid reservoirs. The reservoirs include a fill port with a neck having an opening. The hydration systems further include a closure member, such as a cap, that selectively seals the opening, and an elongate drink tube through which a user may draw drink fluid from the reservoir. The hydration systems further include a wrench assembly that extends around the neck and includes handle that projects generally away from the neck. In some embodiments, the wrench assembly provides a counter lever to assist in the removal or coupling of the cap onto the neck. In some embodiments, the wrench assembly is removably mounted on the fill port, and in some embodiments, the wrench assembly is fixed secured to the fill port. In some embodiments, the wrench assembly is rotatably coupled to the fill port and in other the wrench assembly is non-rotatably coupled to the fill port.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2004Date of Patent: June 20, 2006Assignee: CamelBak Products, LLCInventors: Barley A.

Publication number: 20050035130Abstract: Hydration systems with improved fluid reservoirs. The reservoirs include a fill port with a neck having an opening through which drink fluid may be inserted into the reservoir's internal compartment. The hydration systems also include a drink tube through which a user may draw drink fluid from the reservoir. The hydration systems further include a cap that selectively seals the opening. In some embodiments, the opening has a diameter of at least 2.5 inches. In some embodiments, the opening has a diameter of at least 3 inches. In some embodiments, the cap is threaded onto the neck. In some embodiments, the hydration systems include wrench assemblies and/or support members that extend around the neck and which may be selectively used to assist in sealing or unsealing of the cap onto the opening and/or to position the reservoir.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 27, 2004Publication date: February 17, 2005Inventors: Barley Forsman, Robert Miros, Robert Choi

Patent number: 6820780Abstract: A hydration system with an improved fluid reservoir. A drinking tube extends from an outlet port of the reservoir and includes a distal end upon which a mouthpiece may be mounted. In some embodiments, the reservoir includes a relatively large-diameter fill port. In some embodiments, the reservoir includes a closure member with a handle for selectively sealing the input port. In some embodiments, the reservoir includes a wrench assembly that enables the user to more easily open and close the input port and/or to position the reservoir for filling. In some embodiments, the hydration system includes a pack into which the reservoir is received, and in some embodiments, the pack includes a hanger assembly adapted to support the reservoir within the pack.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2003Date of Patent: November 23, 2004Assignee: CamelBak Products, LLCInventors: Barley A.
