Title: Device for the treatment of wounds using a vacuum
Inventor: RIESINGER BIRGIT
IPC: A61F13/00
Filed: 2005-11-02
Granted: 2012-09-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a device for treating wounds (100) on a human or animal using a vacuum. Said device comprises: a wound cover element (4), which when placed on the body of the patient creates a wound cavity (10) between the respective wound and the wound cover element; at least one connection point (5.1), which is in contact with the wound chamber (10); an absorption body (2), which is a cut textile section comprising interspersed super-absorbent particles and enclosed by a sleeve, the latter being permeable to liquid and having pores, whose size does not exceed that of the super-absorbent particles. The absorption body (2) that is to be placed in the wound cavity (10) has an initial volume that increases during the absorption process and reaches a final volume in such a way that the absorbed wound secretions, which are limited by the pore size of the sleeve, remain inside the absorption body and thus under the wound cover element, until the absorption body is removed from the wound cavity.

Title: Fired lockout for a curved cutter stapler with a free moving trigger
Inventor: KELLY WILLIAM D
IPC: A61B17/068
Filed: 2006-08-08
Granted: 2012-03-22
Abstract: A linear surgical stapler adapted for applying a plurality of surgical fasteners to body tissue includes an anvil structure and a cartridge housing containing a plurality of surgical fasteners and a knife. The cartridge housing and anvil structure are relatively 5 movable between a first spaced apart position and a second position in close approximation with one another. A firing mechanism is associated with the cartndge housing for ejecting the surgical fasteners from the cartridge housing to be driven against the anvil structure. The firing mechanism includes a slide bar at its distal end adjacent the cartridge housing. A lockout mechanism interacts with the cartridge o housing for selective activation and deactivation. The lockout mechanism includes a lock tab that interferes with the slide bar of the firing mechanism moving the slide bar rotationally such that tabs on the slide bar move out of alignment with tabs on the knife during firing of the linear surgical stapler to prevent subsequent firing of the linear surgical stapler. .t4

Granted: 2012-11-29
Abstract: The cost of performing sophisticated software-based financial trend and pattern analysis is significantly reduced by distributing the processing power required to carry out the analysis and computational task across a large number of networked individual or cluster of computing nodes. To achieve this, the computational task is divided into a number of sub tasks. Each sub task is then executed on one of a number of processing devices to generate a multitude of solutions. The solutions are subsequently combined to generate a result for the computational task. The individuals controlling the processing devices are compensated for use of their associated processing devices. The algorithms are optionally enabled to evolve over time. Thereafter, one or more of the evolved algorithms is selected in accordance with a predefined condition.
