摘要： A device for cleaning a lens of an endoscope inside a patient during a surgical procedure may include a cannula having a proximal end, a distal end and an opening, and an expandable member coupled with the cannula such that when fluid is introduced into the expandable member, it expands out of the opening in the cannula. A method for cleaning a lens of an endoscope inside a patient during a surgical procedure may involve: advancing a cannula into the patient; passing fluid into an expandable member coupled with the cannula to expand the expandable member, wherein some of the fluid passes through the expandable member to an outer surface of the expandable member; and contacting the endoscope lens with the outer surface of the expandable member, located inside the patient, to clean the lens.

摘要： Methods that include directing an incident beam towards a substrate, the substrate having one or more features formed thereon wherein the incident beam has a wavelength from about 10 μm to about 10 mm, and the incident beam interacts with the substrate to form a modulated beam; varying one or more characteristics of the incident beam while directed towards the substrate; detecting the modulated beam while varying the one or more characteristics of the incident beam to collect a spectrum; and determining at least one spatial metric of the at least one feature based on the collected spectrum.

摘要： A device for cutting tissue in a human body may include an elongate, hollow shaft having a proximal portion and a distal portion, a bundle of flexible wires slidably disposed within at least a portion of the shaft and having a proximal end and a distal end, and an actuator coupled with the proximal portion of the shaft and the proximal end of the bundle of wires. The distal end of the bundle may be configured to facilitate cutting of tissue, and the wires of the bundle may be at least partially free to move, relative to one another, to allow a cross-sectional shape of the bundle to differ along a length from the proximal to the distal end. The actuator may be configured to move the wires back and forth through the hollow shaft to cause the distal ends of the wires to cut tissue.
