    摘要: Embodiments of the invention are directed to multi-layer, multi-material fabrication methods (e.g. electrochemical fabrication methods) which provide improved versatility in producing complex microdevices and in particular in removing sacrificial material from passages, channels, or cavities that are complex or that include etching access ports in their final configurations that are small relative to passage, channel, or cavity lengths. Embodiments of the present invention provide for removal of sacrificial material from these passages, channels or cavities using one or more initial or preliminary removal steps that occur prior to completion of the such passages that results from the completion of the layer forming steps. In some embodiments, first sacrificial material is replaced after a secondary solid sacrificial material after the initial removal step or steps. In other embodiments, the first sacrificial material is replaced after a liquid material after the initial removal step or steps. In some embodiments, desired structure formation may occur along or separately from one or more etchant directing manifolds that can force etchant into the passages, channels, and cavities.

    摘要: The invention relates to an endoscope channel cap that may be used separately with two or more endoscopes each having a cap interface portion with a different configuration. The channel cap also may include one or more seals to maintain insufflation pressure both when an endoscopic instrument is inserted in a working channel of the endoscope and when the instrument is not inserted in the channel.

    摘要: Some embodiments of the invention are directed to electrochemical fabrication methods for forming structures or devices (e.g. microprobes for use in die level testing of semiconductor devices) from a core material and a shell or coating material that partially coats the surface of the structure. Other embodiments are directed to electrochemical fabrication methods for producing structures or devices (e.g. microprobes) from a core material and a shell or coating material that completely coats the surface of each layer from which the probe is formed including interlayer regions. Additional embodiments of the invention are directed to electrochemical fabrication methods for forming structures or devices (e.g. microprobes) from a core material and a shell or coating material wherein the coating material is located around each layer of the structure without locating the coating material in inter-layer regions. Each of these groups of embodiments incorporate both the core material and the coating material during the formation of each layer and each layer is also formed with a sacrificial material that is removed after formation of all layers of the structure. In some embodiments the core material may be a genuine structural material while in others it may be only a functional structural material (i.e. a material that would be removed with sacrificial material if it were accessible by an etchant during removal of sacrificial material.

    摘要: Some embodiments of the invention provide an instrument for mechanically removing segments of tissue from a patient during a minimally invasive surgical procedure. An exemplary instrument provides an inlet for receiving tissue a mechanism for cutting away received tissue and for simultaneously moving the cut away tissue away from the inlet to allow additional material to enter the inlet for removal wherein multiple specimens can be captured and eventually removed from the patient's body without the need of removing the instrument after each capture.
