Abstract: The hole saw slug removal device (10) is a device constructed to fit within a hole saw (12) that provides for automatic ejection of waste slugs from within the hole saw. The hole saw slug removal device (10) generally consists of two discs (22, 24) affixed on either end of a compression spring (20). The device (10) is then inserted into the hole saw, and one disc (24) retains the compression spring within the hole saw by locking onto the drill bit (30) or against the inner surface of the hole saw (12). Upon operation of the hole saw, the spring compresses and the other disc (22) is pushed down by the force of the sawing. After the sawing is completed, the spring decompresses, and the disc (22) is pushed forward, automatically ejecting the waste slug that has become trapped. The slug removal device may lack one disc and instead be permanently affixed to a hole saw.

Abstract: The automated drug discrimination system (100) inspects the drug being dispensed during the dispensing process so that the pharmacist can be certain the correct formulation, dosage and quality of pharmaceuticals were dispensed so the pharmacist does not need to spend as much time examining the dispensed drug. The pills are dispensed through a dispensing area (105) using a dispensing apparatus (104) and are collected in a collection area (118). At least two sensors (106, 108) take a plurality of measurements of an aggregate of the pills during the dispensing process or of each pill as it moves through the dispensing area (105). A discrimination system (112) compares the measurements taken to verify that the pills dispensed are the type of pharmaceuticals intended to be dispensed as identified in the individual prescription for at least one of formulation and dosage of the pill.

Title: Hand-actuated device for remote manipulation of a grasping tool
Inventor: DANITZ DAVID J
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 2005-09-19
Granted: 2014-07-08
Abstract: The invention provides an articulating mechanism useful, for example, for remote manipulation of various surgical instruments and diagnostic tools within, or to, regions of the body. Movement of segments (A1, B1, D1) at the proximal end (106, 107, 121, 606, 806, 1711, 1801) of the mechanism results in a corresponding, relative movement of segments (A2, B2, D2) at the distal end (108, 109, 123, 604, 808, 1721, 1822) of the mechanism. The proximal and distal segments are connected by a set of cables (104) in such a fashion that each proximal segment forms a discrete pair with a distal segment. This configuration allows each segment pair to move independently of one another and also permits the articulating mechanism to undergo complex movements and adopt complex configurations. The articulating mechanisms may also be combined in such a way to remotely mimic finger movements for manipulation of an object or body tissue.

Abstract: An injection device with a dose delivering mechanism being adapted to provide a non-visual, e.g. audible and/or tactile, feedback signal when a set dose has been at least substantially injected. A first and a second part of the injection device are adapted to perform a relative rotational movement with respect to each other. The relative rotational movement causes at least two parts of the injection device to abut or engage, and this abutment or engagement causes the non-visual feedback signal to be generated. A very distinct and precise feedback is provided as compared to prior art axial solutions because the generation of the feedback signal is initiated by the relative rotational movement. Feedback signal may be generated by a change in a rotational velocity of at least one part, e.g. by changing the pitch of a threaded portion or by engaging a non-rotating part and a rotating part, thereby causing the non-rotating part to start rotating. May alternatively be generated by building up and releasing a tension. The injection device is suitable for injecting insulin.

The adapter comprises linked together a biosensor having a specific sequence complementary to a target sequence of a substrate, the biosensor improving the specificity of the nucleic acid sequence for the substrate, and a blocker stem sequence complementary to a portion of the nucleic acid sequence. In absence of the target sequence of the substrate, the blocker stem sequence forms an intramolecular stem with the nucleic acid sequence linked thereto, preventing exposition of the sequence of the nucleic acid sequence, thus locking the nucleic acid sequence so linked to the adapter in an inactive conformation, and in presence of the target sequence, the blocker stem sequence dissociating from the nucleic acid sequence, thus exposing the nucleic acid sequence linked to the adapter in an active conformation.
