摘要:
An EKG monitor/recorder and defibrillator which are contained in separate housings are mechanically interconnected by a tongue member located on an exterior surface of the housing of the EKG monitor/recorder and a groove member located on an exterior surface of the housing of the defibrillator. The groove member receives the tongue member with a translative, sliding fit to also permit easy disconnection and separation of the EKG monitor/recorder and the defibrillator. Electrical interconnection between the EKG monitor/recorder and the defibrillator is afforded by a pair of novel electrical slide connectors respectively located in the exterior surfaces of the housings in proximity to the tongue and groove members, with each electrical slide connector including a plurality of spaced-apart leaf spring contacts which, in assembly, extend parallel to the direction of translative movement of the EKG monitor/recorder and defibrillator housings. Circuitry is provided within the EKG monitor/recorder and defibrillator for providing EKG monitoring through paddle electrodes of the defibrillator by coupling the paddle electrodes to the EKG monitor/recorder through the pair of electrical slide connectors.

A surgical instrument can comprise a channel configured to support a staple cartridge and, in addition, an anvil pivotable between open and closed positions relative to the channel. The surgical instrument can further comprise a cutting member configured to incise tissue positioned captured between the staple cartridge and the anvil and, in addition, means for stopping the cutting member prior to a distal end datum, wherein the distal end datum can be defined by the distal-most staple cavity in the staple cartridge. In such embodiments, the incision within the tissue may not extend beyond the portion of the tissue that has been stapled.

A clip is provided that can be used for ligating tissue, such as vessels, other tubular ducts, and the like. The clip has opposed first and second leg members having proximal and distal ends. The proximal end of each leg member is connected by an apex having a notch formed therein. Moreover, each leg member has an inner tissue-contacting surface and an outer compression-receiving surface, both of which include features to provide a more secure ligation of the vessel or duct. A method for ligating vessels is also provided.

A method for working a component to reduce a propensity for advanced dynamic change analyzes affects of a StressWave process on at least one location on a size and shape of the component. The component is also analyzed as to the affects of adding at least one feature on a size and shape of the component. A beginning shape of the component is then extrapolated.

The present invention provides a method and system for sending a server-specified message from an application server to Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) without setting up a call path between the application server and the CPE. The application server is coupled with a switch, which is in turn coupled with the CPE. The application server sends a request to the switch. The switch sends, based upon the request, a predetermined server-specified message to the CPE without setting up a call path between the application server and the CPE. The CPE is not rung and the predetermined message is not affected by the features of the line associated with the CPE.
