An excisional device for either handheld or stereotactic table use may comprise an outer sheath that may comprise a distal trough shape configured to penetrate and/or cut tissue independently or in concert with work element(s). The articulable work element(s) may comprise articulable beak(s) and may be configured to translate and/or rotate at a first rate and to cut tissue in a direction implied by placement of the trough shaped outer sheath. A first helical element or equivalent assembly may be configured to transport tissue cut by the work element(s) and/or trough, may be co-axially disposed relative to the work element(s) and may be operative to rotate at a second rotation rate that is different than the first rate. A proximal sheath may be co-axially disposed relative to the work element(s) and the first helical element, and may be configured to rotate and actuate the work element(s).

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an inlet lip skin part according to a nominal definition comprising dimensions of the lip skin and associated tolerances, the method comprising the steps of: a) obtaining at least one blank from at least one metal sheet; b) deforming the at least one blank into an intermediate part; and c) machining a first surface of the intermediate part with a first machining path, said first machining path being independent of the real dimensions of the intermediate part, and being based on the nominal definition of the lip skin part, so as to obtain a semi-machined part, and d) machining a second surface of the semi-machined part with a second machining path, said second machining path being based on real dimensions of the semi-machined part and the nominal definition of the lip skin part.

A spray tip for a fluid applicator includes a stem configured to be inserted into the fluid applicator. The stem includes a stem pre-orifice portion and an insert receiving portion. The spray tip includes a pre-orifice insert having an inlet and an outlet. The pre-orifice insert is disposed within the insert receiving portion and disposed against a rearward shoulder of the stem.

A method for manufacturing a dental or medical tool the method comprising the steps of positioning a pre-fluted blank 14 including a stem 24 and a shank 22 within a machine 30, using a probe to identify a position and/or an orientation of at least one flute 26 of the pre-fluted blank 14 and/or the position and/or orientation of an orientation indicator 28 of the pre-fluted blank 14, and using the machine 30 to form a cutting end region 36 at the end of the stem 24 of the pre-fluted blank 14 remote from the shank 22, the flute 26 extending into the cutting end region 36, the machine 30 being controlled to ensure that the cutting end region 36 is correctly orientated relative to the flutes 26 of the pre-fluted blank 14.

Described herein is a method for manufacturing thin metal sheets and joints by removing material from a single block of material, i.e. for obtaining items including one or more thin sheets and/or thin elastic joints seamlessly connected to one another by means such as milling. The method can be employed in the manufacturing of a high-sensitivity, low-frequency, broadband monolithic mechanical sensor for measuring linear and angular displacements of based on a folded pendulum configuration for monitoring and control applications.

A method of making a brake caliper housing includes providing a first die and a second die that cooperate to define a cavity when disposed against each other along a mating plane. The method further includes introducing molten material into the cavity to cast the brake caliper housing. One or more surfaces of the brake caliper housing may be machined.
