20140263634 | SPECIMEN READER EMPLOYING OPTICAL AND RFID SCANNING - A specimen reader receives a specimen rack that includes multiple rack slots that receive respective specimen holders. The specimen holders may include an RFID and barcode. The specimen reader includes multiple sensing regions that align with respective rack slots of the specimen rack. The specimen reader optically senses the presence of specimen holders in the sensing regions that correspond to the rack slots. When the specimen reader detects a newly inserted specimen holder in a particular rack slot, the specimen reader sends RF interrogation signals to the sensing regions. The specimen holders in the sensing regions respond by transmitting their respective RFID unique identifiers. The specimen reader compares currently received RFID unique identifiers with prior received RFID unique identifiers to determine the RFID unique identifier of the newly inserted specimen holder. | 09-18-2014 |
20140266620 | SPECIMEN TRACKING VIA BARCODE AND RFID CORRELATION AT ACCESSION TIME - A specimen holder includes an RFID tag that exhibits an RFID unique identifier. The specimen holder also includes a barcode that exhibits a barcode unique identifier. The user may place a specimen holder in a particular rack slot of a multiple slot specimen rack that is situated on a specimen reader. The specimen reader may receive this specimen holder at accession time. The specimen reader reads both the RFID tag and the barcode of the newly inserted specimen holder. The specimen reader may correlate the RFID unique identifier and barcode unique identifier with one another and store the RFID unique identifier and barcode unique identifier associated with one another in a database. The database may also associate the RFID unique identifier and barcode unique identifier of the newly inserted specimen holder with a rack slot unique identifier that the database also stores. | 09-18-2014 |
20140277695 | AUTOMATIC TRACKING OF A SPECIMEN HOLDER MOVED FROM ONE SPECIMEN RACK TO ANOTHER - A user may move a specimen holder from one specimen rack to another specimen rack. A database automatically tracks the movement of the specimen holder from a rack slot of one specimen rack to a rack slot of the other specimen rack. To track movement of the specimen holder, the user places a specimen rack on a specimen reader that determines the location of any specimen holders in slots of the specimen rack. The user removes a particular specimen holder from a particular rack slot of the specimen rack and the database is updated to reflect removal of the particular specimen holder from the specimen rack. The user places another specimen rack on the reader and inserts the newly removed specimen holder in a slot of the another specimen rack. The database is updated to reflect insertion of the specimen holder in a particular slot of the another rack. | 09-18-2014 |

20120059395 | ENDOSCOPIC CLOSURE DEVICE - An endoscopic closure device comprises: a coupling member; a helical needle mounted to the coupling member and carrying a suture; and a plurality of grasping needles, each of said plurality of grasping needles moveable between a storage position and a deployed position. The plurality of grasping needles is configured to be (a) advanced in the storage position into a luminal defect, (b) moved into the deployed position, and (c) then refracted from the luminal defect, thus pulling and drawing tissue surrounding the luminal defect together. Then, upon rotation of the coupling member and the helical needle, the helical needle is driven into and pierces the tissue, carrying the suture through the tissue. | 03-08-2012 |
