摘要： A control system for a cooling fan in an electronic system. Power consumption (and therefore heat) is sensed by sensing power supply current. When power supply current exceeds a threshold value, the cooling fan is turned ON. In a specific embodiment, a small (low-resistance) series resistor is placed in the regulated output path of a power supply. Power supply current is measured by measuring the voltage drop across the resistor.

摘要： Methods and equipment are disclosed relating to three-dimensional printing that include positioning an array of nozzles within a bed of loose solid material, moving the array of nozzles through the bed of loose solid material while injecting a liquid from the array of nozzles in a controlled pattern causing the liquid to react with a portion of the bed of loose solid material forming a solid concrete three-dimensional object. An unreacted portion of the bed of loose solid material may then be separated from the solid three-dimensional object.

摘要： A treatment system comprises an outer sheath and an end effector. The end effector has a plurality of cutting features, at least a portion of which are configured to debride a tissue surface when the end effector is actuated. The cutting features may also be configured to harvest tissue. A medical fluid reservoir is in fluid communication with the end effector, such that the end effector may deliver a medical fluid to a target site such as a fistula. The medical fluid may include harvested tissue cells and a scaffold material. A vacuum cannula may be positioned coaxially within the interior cavity of the end effector, and an RF probe may be positioned co-axially within the interior cavity of the vacuum cannula. The vacuum cannula and RF probe may be used together to seal a fistula in which medical fluid has been dispensed.

摘要： A surgical instrument includes a body, a removable insert including a measurement indicator, and an end effector positioned at a distal end of the body. The end effector has a distal interior surface facing a proximal end of the body. The end effector is configured to receive the insert. An actuation feature is in communication with the end effector and the insert when the insert is received in the end effector. The actuation feature is configured to advance the insert distally toward the distal interior surface of the end effector. The measurement indicator of the removable insert is configured to determine the thickness of tissue positioned between the removable insert and the distal interior surface of the end effector. Based on the measured tissue thickness, a user selects a cartridge configured to at least staple (and perhaps also sever) the measured tissue. The cartridge is received within the end effector.

摘要： A staple cartridge for use with a stapling device that has an actuator that is selectively actuatable in an axial direction and an anvil portion that is selectively movable between open and closed positions is disclosed. Various embodiments of the present invention include a cartridge body that movably supports first and second staple drivers. The staple drivers each support a staple thereon and serve to drive the staples into forming contact with the anvil upon actuation by the actuator. The various embodiments of the present invention enable the final formed heights of the staples to be varied so as to apply various clamping forces and pressures to soft tissue captured within the staples. In at least one embodiment, the staples can include crowns formed thereon which can be utilized to adjust or control the clamping force and/or pressure applied by the staples.

摘要： A self-guided apparatus for repelling birds through various means of deterrence. The device comprises a chassis, a floatation assembly, a propulsion system, and a guidance and control system. The device may operate in either of at least two modes: passive and active. In the passive mode, the device traverses a predefined area, scaring birds away. In the active mode, the device surveys a designated area and, upon detection of birds, propels itself towards the birds and drives them away.
