Abstract: A multi-adaptive processor element (100) architecture incorporating a field programmable gate array ("FPGA") control element (102) having at least one embedded processor core and a pair of user FPGAs (104) forming a user array is disclosed in conjunction with high volume dynamic random access memory ("DRAM") (108) and dual-ported static random access memory ("SRAM") banks (106). In operation, the DRAM (108) is "read" using its fast sequential burs t modes and the lower capacity SRAM banks (106) are then randomly loaded allowing the user FPGAs (104) to experience very high random access data rat es from what appears to be a very large virtual SRAM. The reverse also happens when the user FPGAs are "writing" data to the SRAM banks. These overall control functions may be managed by an on-chip DMA engine that is implemente d in the control FPGA.

Title: Surgical instrument incorporating electroactive polymer complete firing system lockout mechanism
Inventor: SHELTON FREDERICK E IV
IPC: A61B17/068
Filed: 2005-07-26
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 spring-biased side pawl firing mechanism is enabled by activation of an Electroactive Polymer (EAP) block actuator that overcomes a disengagement spring bias and moves a linked rack into proximity with a side pawl firing mechanism. Thereby, various sensed or commanded inputs may be incorporated to prevent inadvertent firing.
