    摘要: A surgical apparatus and methods for severing and welding tissue, in particular blood vessels. The apparatus includes an elongated shaft having a pair of relatively movable jaws at a distal end thereof. A first heating element on one of the jaws is adapted to heat up to a first temperature and form a welded region within the tissue, while a second heating element on one of the jaws is adapted to heat up to a second temperature and sever the tissue within the welded region. The first and second heating elements may be provided on the same or opposite jaws. A control handle provided on the proximal end of the elongated shaft includes controls for opening and closing the jaws, and may include an actuator for sending current through the first and second heating elements. The first and second heating elements may be electrically connected in series, and the first heating element may be bifurcated such that it conducts about one half of the current as the second heating element. A force-limiting mechanism provided either within the control handle, in the elongated shaft, or at the jaws limits the pressure applied to the tissue by the jaws to ensure that the tissue is severed and the ends effectively welded within a short amount of time.

    摘要: A vessel harvesting system that is suitable for harvesting target vessels such as the saphenous vein or radial artery for cardiac artery bypass graft surgery. The system includes a vessel harvesting tool with an elongated cannula and a plurality of surgical instruments therein for separating the target vessels from the surrounding tissue and side branches. The harvesting tool includes a modular handle unit with a base attached to the elongated cannula and a sled that can adapt the base to various types of vessel severing/securing tools, such as tissue welders, bipolar scissors, and bipolar bisectors. The handle unit may be relatively rigid and integrated with the various tool movement controls to facilitate one-handed operation by a user. A severing/securing tool rotation mechanism may be incorporated within the handle and operated by a thumbwheel or other such mechanism. The vessel harvesting system may also provide distal CO2 insufflation for enhanced maintenance of the operating cavity.

    摘要: In a control block design methodology, a control block is designed, synthesized, and laid out. The control block includes one or more storage devices, such as flops. The flops include a header which buffers signals common to the flops and a storage cell for storing data. A flop grouping tool is used to merge flops having the same type of header into a flop having storage equivalent to the merged flops but using a single header. Multiple instances of the header may be deleted from the control block.

    摘要: A router includes a classifier that classifies packets assigned to 2n−m classes of service into 2n classes of service that are supported by the router. The classifier then sets the loss priorities of the respective packets to one of m levels. The router uses a modified weighted random early detection scheme that is based on probabilities of discard associated with the 2n+m classes of service to determine whether to retain or discard particular packets. The router uses a single buffer to store packets directed to all of the various output ports. The available storage locations in the buffer are linked to a free queue and a weighted average depth of the free queue, is used to determined whether or not to retain a given packet. The router compares the weighted average depth of the free queue to maximum and minimum thresholds associated with the particular 2n+m class of service to which the packet is assigned. If the weighted average is above the maximum threshold, the packet is retained. If the weighted average is below the minimum threshold, the packet is discarded. If the weighted average is between the two thresholds, a probability of discard that is based on the 2n+m classes of service is calculated and compared to a random value to determine whether or not the packet should be retained. If the probability of discard exceeds the random value, the packet is discarded. The other packets exit various output ports of the router based on weighting factors associated with the 2n classes of service.
