A motorized reel apparatus suitable for endobronchial ultrasound bronchoscopy (EBUS) is presented. The present invention attaches to any suitable corresponding biopsy needle stylus. The motorized reel apparatus contains a reel housing, a spool drum, a spool spindle, a motor, and a controller. The reel housing contains wire outlet aperture. The wire outlet aperture traverses through the reel housing. The spool drum is connected within the reel housing. The spool spindle operatively engages along the spool drum, where the spool spindle can dispense a biopsy wire along the wire outlet aperture. The motor is rotatably engaged to the spool spindle. The controller is electrically connected to the motor, where the controller is configured to retract or deploy a biopsy wire along the wire outlet aperture.

The invention relates to an underwater antenna device with a nonstationary antenna, an extension mechanism and a repositioning mechanism, wherein an extending force can be applied in a direction of the extending force by the extension mechanism of the antenna and an opposing force can be applied in a direction of the opposing force, in the opposite direction to the extending force by the repositioning mechanism of the antenna, characterized in that the repositioning mechanism or a part of the repositioning mechanism is designed as selectively nonstationary, so that, by selected changes to the position, the antenna can be positioned in a retracted position, an extended position or an intermediate position.

The present invention relates to methods for producing particles of meloxicam using dry milling processes as well as compositions comprising meloxicam, medicaments produced using meloxicam in particulate form and/or compositions, and to methods of treatment of an animal, including man, using a therapeutically effective amount of meloxicam administered by way of said medicaments.

A system for carrying a tether guide, including a counter-balanced support system with two pivot points, where a first pivot allows the tether guide to travel up and down and the second pivot allows the tether guide to match the tether angle. Both pivots may be passive pivots. A shuttle that carries the tether guide may be electronically cammed to follow variable pitch helical grooves of a winch drum as the tether guide traverses across the drum length.

A tether guide operable through a wide range of tether/fleeting angles while causing minimal wear and having a reduced size compared to a levelwind wheel. The tether guide may include a series of rollers approximating the curved shape and radius of levelwind wheel. The tether guide may include downward facing guide wings matched to a curved roller profile, but flaring out to capture and guide tether into rollers. Sensors may be included on the tether guide to provide information about tether location, including whether the tether is engaged in the tether guide.

A cord winding mechanism for a blind cord with a first end fixed to a window blind includes a base, a cord winder rotatably mounted to the base, a cord guiding assembly mounted to the base, and an elastic press member mounted to the base. The cord winder defines an annular slot to wind the blind cord layer by layer. The cord guiding assembly is abutted against an unwound portion of the blind cord between the cord winder and the window blind. A second end of the blind cord is fixed to an end of the cord winder in the slot. The press member is elastically abutted against a portion of the blind cord just separate from the cord winder.

The disclosure relates to a sleeve for fitting around a spooling drum: the sleeve comprises at least a groove for receiving a conveying element to be spooled around the drum, is made of flexible material and is configured so as to be able to take a first configuration in which the sleeve forms a flat sheet, the groove extending in a direction, called spooling direction, and a second configuration in which the sleeve forms a cylinder, with the groove is situated on an external face of the cylinder.

A line sensor deployment and recovery apparatus and system with integrated level-wind. In one embodiment, a line deployment and recovery apparatus with an integrated level-wind, comprising a reel, having an external surface with helical grooves, wherein the grooves facilitate a line; a motor configured to axially rotate the reel; a level-wind shuttle, further comprising: a fairlead configured to selectively feed the line into the helical grooves, or deploy the line from the helical grooves; a shuttle finger configured to align the shuttle with the helical grooves and receive a driving force from the reel's rotations to drive the shuttle; and a shuttle track, oriented parallel to the drum and fixed in a offset position form the helical grooves at an operable track height, configured to facilitate linear traversal of the shuttle along the reel.

A winding unit for a vehicle charging cable includes a rotationally symmetrical winding element, a rotationally symmetrical inner body, and a rotationally symmetrical outlet disc. The winding element has a first winding area, onto which a cable can be wound, and a second winding area in a radial peripheral area of the winding unit. The second winding area is arranged adjacent to the first winding area, so that a cable can be wound in the second winding area from an area close to the first winding area one above the other in the direction of the outlet disc in the opposite direction to a winding direction in the first winding area. In addition, the outlet disc can be rotated a predetermined number of revolutions together with the winding element and can then be blocked so that a cable is pushed out of the outlet opening.

A hose reel assembly includes a frame and a reel rotatably coupled to the frame. The reel can include a drum and four flanges arranged to define three spools, where each spool can be configured to hold a portion of a hose. The third and fourth flanges can include one or more apertures that can allow a portion of a hose to transition from a center spool to one of the outer spools, facilitating storage of a bulky fitting and improving winding and unwinding efficiency. The hose reel assembly can be mounted on a vehicle or transportable support structure. The hose reel assembly can enable multiple hoses or hose segments to be stored compactly while minimizing tangling and easing deployment and retrieval. The flanges and apertures can be sized and spaced to optimize hose storage.
