| Abstract: 2000 char max | An instrument for collecting tissue from a body cavity includes a hollow tubular body. The tubular body has a tubular wall that extends between a proximal-most end and a distal-most end of the tubular body. The tubular wall surrounds a passage that extends to the distal end portion of the tubular body. The tubular body can be a non-bending shaft, or a shaft having an articulating section that allows a portion of the tubular body to articulate relative to the proximal end portion. The distal end portion includes a core drill with a cutting tip. The cutting tip defines a first aperture, a second aperture opposite the first aperture, and a web extending between the first aperture and the second aperture. The web tapers to a drill point at the distal-most end of the tubular body. |

| Inventors: | Genders: F=0, M=1 |
| Abstract: 2000 char max | The techniques described herein relate to systems and methods for generating deliberative committees of age-stratified large language models (LLMs). An example method for generating a dialogue between at least first and second age-stratified LLMs trained to generate simulated responses to questions that respective first/second persons would have provided in a particular life stage comprises receiving a prompt comprising a question, executing the first LLM to generate a first simulated response to the question that the first person would have provided in the first life stage, executing, using the prompt and/or the first simulated response, the second LLM to generate a second simulated response to at least the question that the second person would have provided in the second life stage, and generating, using the response(s), an output representing a third simulated response to the question that the first/second persons would have collectively determined to provide in their particular life stages. |
