Abstract: A resonant frequency adjustor for mounting onto an exhaust pipe of an exhaust system of a vehicle adjusts the resonant frequency(s) of the exhaust pipe to minimize or control vibration transmitted to the vehicle and/or to tune the sound emitted by the exhaust system. The resonant frequency adjustor includes a base mounted to the exhaust pipe, an isolator attached to the base, a stud attached to and extending from the isolator, and a mass located on the stud. A gross adjustment of the vibration of the exhaust pipe may be achieved by varying the location of the resonant frequency adjustor on the exhaust pipe. A fine adjustment of the vibration of the exhaust pipe may be accomplished by adjusting the position of the mass on the stud.

Abstract: Devices and methods for guiding surgical tools are disclosed. The guided surgical tools can be used to extract body tissue from an enclosed body cavity. The guide can have multiple channels for the surgical tools to pass through the guide. The channels can converge and exit at a single exit port. The channels can have distinct entry ports. The guide can have a configuration to provide stable seating at or adjacent to the target site.
