Abstract: A cordless endoscope assembly includes a housing, an endoscope tube and an eyepiece. Electronics are housed in the housing and operable to operate one or more light sources in the endoscope, the electronics including one or more batteries and a printed circuit board. The housing includes a connector configured to removably couple with a cannula connector of a cannula when the endoscope tube is inserted through the cannula. The cordless endoscope is a disposable single use endoscope that can optionally be sterilized with an ethylene oxide (EtO) sterilization process.

Abstract: This document presents a novel method of manufacturing multilayered nonwoven fabrics consisting of submicron fibers, hydroentangled, meltfibrillated, and/or spunlaid web layers. The composite multilayered webs contain one or more submicron fiber webs placed between inner and outer layers of hydroentangled, meltfibrillated, and/or spunlaid web, forming a fabric that may be utilized in the manufacture of articles which serve as barriers, wipes or sorbent materials, or may have other potential applications. The created novel composite multilayered fabric may have increased loft, softness and bending length, may not be solely dependent upon an electrostatic charge to repel small particles and microbes, and may be formed from a broad selection of natural, synthetic, and recycled polymers, including petroleum- and plant-based, allowing polymer selection based on article lifecycle.

Abstract: An endoscope assembly system includes a housing and an adapter that couples to the housing. The adapter has a bore that receives an endoscope tube therethrough. The adapter has a cannula connector on an outer surface of the adapter that allows it to couple with a cannula positioned over at least a portion of the adapter. Different adapters can be coupled to the housing to allow the endoscope to be used with a variety of different cannulas having different cannula locking mechanisms, thereby allowing one endoscope assembly to be used with a variety of different cannula designs.

Abstract: The field expedient repair kit may comprise an inner loadout storage roll and an outer storage system. The kit may store supplies that are intended for the performance of a field expedient task at a remote venue. As non-limiting examples, the field expedient task may be a repair, emergency medical procedure, military mission, or other activity. The kit may optimize space utilization to maximize the quantity of the supplies that may be carried within a given volume and footprint without hindering accessibility of the supplies. The kit may be operable to transport the supplies to the remote venue and be portable such that the kit may be carried by a person. The inner loadout storage roll may detachably couple to the interior of the outer storage system and may be unrolled to provide access to the supplies.
