Title: Surgical stapling instrument incorporating a multistroke firing position indicator and retraction mechanism
Inventor: SWAYZE JEFFREY S
IPC: A61B17/072
Filed: 2004-09-28
Granted: 2012-05-15
Abstract: A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic procedures incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end effector. In particular, the handle produces multiple firing strokes in order to reduce the required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. A linked transmission reduces the required handle longitudinal length, yet achieves a rigid, strong configuration when straightened for firing. A traction biased firing mechanism avoids binding in driving this straightened linked rack in cooperation with an anti- backup mechanism, with a lockout mechanism that prevents releasing the closure trigger during tiring. Furthermore, an external indicator gives feedback to the surgeon as to how far firing has progressed, as well as providing a manual retraction capability.

Title: Beverage forming and dispensing system
Inventor: BETHUY TIMOTHY W
IPC: B67D7/74
Filed: 2003-05-19
Granted: 2010-01-12
Abstract: A beverage dispensing system (10) includes separate valves (24, 26) for controlling the flow rate of a diluent and a concentrate. Various concentrates of different viscosities can be used and the selected concentrate is identified. The flow rate of the concentrate is determined based on temperature and pressure and on information related to the identified concentrate. The valves are controlled so that the concentrate and diluent reach target flow rates. The target flow rates satisfy a target ratio of diluent to concentrate. If the actual flow rates cannot reach the target flow rates, then the target flow rates are modified to satisfy the target ratio. The structure of the concentrate valve is designed to accommodate proportional metering of any one of the various concentrates.
