Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for cutting anatomic members with minimally invasive endoscopic ultrasound are described. A disposable cutting handpiece and cassette can be attached to a reusable main console for the procedure and then separated to be discarded and/or analyzed. The handpiece may include a power line, aspiration, and/or irrigation. The cassette may contain one or more pumps and an electronic connection that interfaces with a console deliver power to the handpiece, and optionally to identify characteristics such as probe and/or handpiece type. The cassette may further include sensors, a sensor interface, and/or a flow correction circuit for reducing unwanted flow blockages or vacuum.

Abstract: A portable motorized fluid sprayer device is described, having a fluid tank and a pump manifold configured to pump fluid from the tank and into a connected fluid conveying structure (e.g., a hose, wand, nozzle, handle and/or similar structures). The manifold may include an electric motor, a gear pump, a controller, and a battery. Additionally, the fluid sprayer device may allow for spraying fluid with consistent pressure, recirculation of fluid within the tank, a gear pump for spraying or suctioning fluid from the fluid conveying structure, a safety lever, the ability to separate the pump manifold from the fluid tank, and other features.

Abstract: A portable shear testing device includes a shear force unit that has two elongated jaw members that are positioned adjacent to each other. One of the jaw members can be moved away from the other, stationary jaw member. One of the jaw members is moved by a pivotally mounted lever that laterally moves a load transfer block connected to the jaw member. A digital load cell is positioned between the lever and the load transfer block and a threaded knob is rotated to press against the lever.

Abstract: Recoil buffers are described that can complete a displacement cycle in about 0.06 seconds or less. The buffer can include two springs and three one-way valves through the piston within the buffer housing or can include a single spring and a one-way shim valve through the piston within the buffer housing.

Abstract: A sensor system is disclosed that includes a plurality of sensors, a deployment system for deploying the sensors, a control and charging system for receiving sensor data and optionally charging the batteries within the sensors, and one or more algorithms employed by the sensor system for processing, analyzing, and otherwise using data received by the plurality of sensors.
