Abstract: A guidewire insertion tool configured to measure a length of an anatomic region. The tool can include a housing, a light chamber, and a track at least partially extending through the light chamber. The track is adapted to guide a guidewire as it is advanced through the insertion tool. The tool can also include an optical sensor assembly in optical communication with the light chamber. The optical sensor assembly can include one or more light sources, an optical sensor, and a magnifier. The one or more light sources can be adapted to direct light toward a portion of the guidewire within the track, and the optical sensor can be adapted to receive reflected light from the portion of the guidewire within the tract. A processing unit can analyze data from the optical sensor assembly to determine the length of the anatomic region and output the measurement to a display.

Abstract: A mounting system is provided to allow the attachment of an acoustic collector to a handheld electronic device such that sound is conducted directly to the device's microphone. A fitted case or band encloses part of the device and includes a tube running from the collector to the device's microphone. In certain embodiments, the tube may be embedded in the case, and a detachable mount may be provided to connect the collector to the case. The collector may be a stethoscope chestpiece, or an open air collector, such as a parabolic collector.

Abstract: An acoustic collection system for handheld electronic devices is disclosed having a fitted casing with a chestpiece, and a passageway for conducting sound from the chestpiece to a microphone. In one embodiment, the configuration of the passageway can be actively varied by the user to selectively transmit frequencies of interest to the device. In another embodiment, materials with different sound propagation properties may be used to augment or dampen sound within the passage. In another embodiment, a microphone may be placed within the passageway and its position therein varied by the user.
