  • Publication number: 20260117877
    Abstract: A handle for a valve assembly having a valve member. The handle includes a body configured to be coupled to the valve member, a body insert including a head that is graspable for opening and closing the valve member, and an adjustable stop assembly. The adjustable stop assembly is positioned on and engaged with the body insert and includes a first plate, a second plate, and a fastener. The first plate is rotatable relative to the body insert between an open state, a closed state, and a memory-stop state, each of which corresponds to a different orientation of the valve member. The fastener couples the first plate and the second plate together. The fastener is engageable by a user to move the first plate to the memory-stop state. The valve member is at least partially open when the first plate is in the memory-stop state.

  • Publication number: 20250027899
    Abstract: A reference electrode assembly for electrochemistry microscopy samples includes a Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (MEMS) chip having a thin-film wire disposed on a surface thereof, a bridge electrode electrically connected to the thin-film wire through a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) holder, a portion of the bridge electrode disposed in contact with a sample solution contained within a vial and a standard reference electrode disposed within the vial and in contact with the sample solution, wherein the standard reference electrode electrically connects to a potentiostat maintaining the charge balance with a sample solution. The MEMS chip may be disposed within a holder tip connected with the TEM holder at an end thereof. A portion of the reference electrode assembly may be disposed within a Faraday cage to minimize the effect of noise on the reference potential.

  • Publication number: 20240181190
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a suction stylet assembly for endotracheal intubation. The assembly includes an elongated tubular member, the elongated tubular member having one or more apertures proximate to a first end, and a handle in communication with a second end of the elongated tubular member. The handle member includes a first passageway connecting the elongated tubular member to a hose fitting on the handle member, the hose fitting configured to receive a hose that provides suction in removing bodily fluids. The handle member further includes an aperture located on a side of the handle member, the aperture forming a second passageway through the handle member running between the side and the first passageway, the aperture configured to permit a user to selectively block the aperture, thereby selectively controlling suction provided between the hose fitting and the elongated tubular member.
