Abstract: An endoscopic bipolar forceps includes a housing having a shaft affixed thereto, the shaft including jaw members at a distal end thereof. The shaft includes a longitudinal axis defined therethrough and the jaw members are adapted to connect to a source of electrosurgical energy such that the jaw members are capable of conducting energy through tissue held therebetween to effect a tissue seal. The forceps also includes a drive assembly which moves the jaw member relative to one another from a first position wherein the jaw members are disposed in spaced relation relative to one another to a second position wherein the jaw members are closer to one another for manipulating tissue. A movable handle is included which is rotatable about a pivot to force the drive assembly to move the jaw members between the first and second positions. The pivot is located a fixed distance above the longitudinal axis. A knife assembly is also included which has a movable knife bar having a generally t-shaped proximal end dimensioned to operatively engage a corresponding slot defined within the housing, the slot being dimensioned to guide the movement of the knife bar during translation thereof.

Abstract: In a multi-threaded processor, thread priority variables are set up in memory. The actual assignment of thread priority is based on the expiration of a thread precedence counter. To further augment, the effectiveness of the thread precedence counters, starting counters are associated with each thread that serve as a multiplier for the value to be used in the thread precedence counter. The value in the starting counters are manipulated so as to prevent one thread from getting undue priority to the resources of the multi-threaded processor.

Abstract: An electrosurgical apparatus includes a housing having a shaft extending therefrom. The shaft includes an end effector assembly at a distal end thereof. The end effector assembly includes first and second fixed jaw members in spaced relation relative to one another. An electrically conductive tissue sealing plate is operatively coupled to each of the jaw members. The electrically conductive seal plates are adapted to connect to an electrosurgical energy source and communicate with a control system. The control system is configured to regulate the delivery of electrosurgical energy from the source of electrosurgical energy to the tissue sealing plate on each of the jaw members. A guide channel is disposed between the pair of fixed jaw members and extends proximally along the shaft from the distal end thereof. A knife is disposed at a proximal end of the guide channel and is configured to selectively cut tissue in a distal direction.

Abstract: A network configuration file is generated at a host computer and downloaded to a digital camera. This file contains instruction information for communicating with a selected destination via a communications interface. The digital camera includes a “send” button or LCD icon which allows the user to easily transmit one or more images via a wired or wireless communications interface to a desired destination, which among other possibilities may be an Internet Service Provider or a digital photofinishing center. When the user selects this option, the communications port settings, user account specifics, and destination connection commands are read from the network configuration file on the removable memory card. Examples of these settings include serial port baud rate, parity, and stop bits, as well as account name and password.

Abstract: A computer implemented method, apparatus, and computer program product for transferring an application environment between a plurality of computing devices. The process retrieves a set of transfer policies in response to detecting a presence of a second computing device in the plurality of computing devices. The set of transfer policies govern the transfer of the application environment from a first computing device. The process then determines whether conditions for the transfer have been satisfied. Conditions for transfer are specified by the set of transfer policies. The process subsequently transfers application data to the second computing device if the conditions for the transfer have been satisfied. The application data is used to create the application environment on the second computing device.

Abstract: A combination of new hardware at the subscriber site, hardware and services at the satellite broadcasting center and new installation procedures provide a cost-effective approach for verifying “callback” functionality. The required test and monitoring hardware may be provided as an external test CAM and call progress monitor (CPM) or integrated into the IRD. The satellite broadcast center is provided with a call responder & data test system (CRDTS) that is set up to automatically receive and evaluate test calls over a back channel and a call recording system (CRS) that records the test results and notifies the billing center of a successful installation. The installer installs the dish and IRD, verifies “callback” functionality by placing a test call that is evaluated by the CRDTS, and then calls a customer service representative (CSR) to complete the service authorization process. The CSR checks the CRS to verify that the “callback” function is operational and authorizes payment to the installer.
