摘要： Methods and devices are provided for performing translumenal (e.g., transoral and transanal) procedures. In general, the methods and devices utilize a trocar assembly or trocar end cap that can facilitate insertion of an endoscope through tissue. In one embodiment, a flexible trocar assembly is provided and includes an obturator having an inner lumen formed therethrough for receiving an endoscope therein, and a distal end that is adapted to facilitate insertion of the endoscope through tissue and that is adapted to facilitate viewing therethrough. The trocar assembly can also include a trocar sleeve that is disposable over the obturator. In use, once the trocar assembly is inserted through tissue, the trocar sleeve can function as a placeholder, allowing the endoscope and obturator to be removed. The endoscope can then be removed from within the obturator and reinserted through the trocar sleeve for use in performing various other procedures. In other embodiments, rather than using a trocar that houses the endoscope, an end cap can be removably disposed over a distal end of the endoscope. The present invention also provides methods and devices for shielding an endoscope during insertion through a body lumen, and in particular for preventing contact between the endoscope (or trocar sleeve) and the body lumen, thus preventing bacteria from being carried into a body cavity.

摘要： A surgical instrument adapted for applying a plurality of surgical fasteners to body tissue includes a frame having a proximal end and a distal end, with a handle positioned at the proximal end. The instrument also includes a cartridge housing and an anvil. The cartridge housing and anvil are relatively movable between a first spaced apart position and a second position in close approximation with one another, and the cartridge housing includes a knife adapted for cutting tissue by moving between the cartridge housing and the anvil. A firing mechanism is associated with the cartridge housing for selective actuation. The instrument also includes a tissue retention feature having an upper member and a lower member maintaining tissue between the cartridge housing and the anvil during treatment, wherein the upper and lower members respectively include channels associated with the knife for guiding it between the cartridge housing and the anvil.

摘要： A method is disclosed for replacing grease in a main bearing of a wind turbine, the main bearing located in a housing and the housing having least one cover plate. the bearing cover plate is removed from the housing, grease is manually removed from the main bearing, and a flushing cover is installed on the housing in place of the bearing cover plate. The flushing cover has at least two parts, the parts fitting around the main shaft, and each part having a seal so that when its attached to the bearing housing, the flushing cover forms a seal with the main shaft. The flushing cover has holes allowing access to the main bearing, and a solvent or oil is sprayed via one of the holes onto the main bearing to remove grease, the remaining holes being sealed by a removable plug. Solvent or oil is pumped out of the housing via a port at the bottom of the housing or flushing cover. The process is repeated for each hole, and the flushing cover removed, the main bearing packed with grease, and the bearing cover plate re-affixed. The spraying step involves pumping solvent or oil from a reservoir to the spray nozzle, and the step of pumping solvent or oil out of the bearing housing involves pumping solvent or oil to the reservoir via a return hose. This means that the solvent or oil is recycled during the replacing of the grease. An apparatus for flushing grease from a main bearing of a wind turbine is also described.

摘要翻译： 公开了一种用于更换风力涡轮机的主轴承中的润滑脂的方法，位于壳体中的主轴承和具有至少一个盖板的壳体。 将轴承盖板从壳体中取出，从主轴承上手动取出润滑脂，并且将外壳上的冲洗盖安装在轴承盖板上。 冲洗盖具有至少两个部件，部件围绕主轴安装，每个部件具有密封件，使得当其附接到轴承壳体时，冲洗盖与主轴形成密封。 冲洗盖具有允许进入主轴承的孔，并且通过一个孔将溶剂或油喷射到主轴承上以除去油脂，剩余的孔被可移除的塞子密封。 溶剂或油通过外壳或冲洗盖底部的端口从外壳中抽出。 每个孔重复该过程，拆下冲洗盖，装有油脂的主轴承和轴承盖板重新固定。 喷射步骤包括将溶剂或油从储存器泵送到喷嘴，并且将溶剂或油抽出轴承壳体的步骤包括通过返回软管将溶剂或油泵送到储存器。 这意味着溶剂或油在更换润滑脂期间被循环使用。 还描述了用于从风力涡轮机的主轴承冲洗润滑脂的装置。

摘要： Systems and methods for identifying, tracking, tracing and determining the authenticity of a good include an imaging system, a database, and an authentication center. The imaging system is configured to capture an image of a unique signature associated with a good. The unique signature can be, for example, a random structure or pattern unique to the particular good. The imaging system is configured to process the image to identify at least one metric that distinguishes the unique signature from unique signatures of other goods. The database is configured to receive information related to the good and its unique signature from the imaging system, and to store the information therein. The authentication center is configured to analyze the field image with respect to the information stored in the database to determine whether the unique signature in the field image is a match to the captured image stored in the database.

摘要： A technique and apparatus to provide status tracking of presence and/or location of wireless devices to requesting entities inside and/or outside a particular wireless system. Presence and/or location information is provided to entities outside a particular servicing wireless network via mechanisms of call processing components of a mobile network and standard mechanisms available to any appropriately conforming MSC element. In one embodiment, a wireless chat automatic status tracking system utilizes a change in mobile registration status to automatically forward or copy a registration notification (REGNOT) message to an external IP application, to notify a chat group system outside the wireless network of current status information activity regarding a relevant device. Change in mobile registration is communicated via a suitable signaling link between a HLR and the chat group system. REGNOT messages are pushed over TCP/IP connections to external applications to automatically notify the external system of a particular user's location.
