Patent EP-1515360-A1 (EP)
Inventor: TAPPEL HENDRICK GEZINUS
IPC: B25J7/00
Filed: 2004-06-03
Abstract: In the semiconductor industry, microscopic samples are cut out of substrates for purposes
of analysis. In the case of a known method, a sample to be cut loose out of a substrate is
attached to a sample carrier connected to a manipulator and the sample is cut loose from
the substrate. Subsequently, the sample is fixed to a TEM grid and completely separated
from the sample carrier. 
     According to the invention, the sample carrier 3 is left in connection with the sample 1
and the sample carrier 3 is separated from the manipulator 4. By making the sample
carrier 3 connected to the sample 1 much bigger than the (microscopic) sample 1, and by
manipulating the sample carrier 3, manipulation - with the aid of a (macroscopic)
manipulator ― of the microscopic sample 1 attached thereto becomes easier than
manipulating the sample 1 without the sample carrier 3 attached thereto. In addition, a
mechanical coupling between manipulator 4 and sample carrier 3 is shown, which
enables a great degree of automation.
Patent EP-1479349-A1 (EP)
Inventor: SHELTON IV FREDERICK E
IPC: A61B17/072
Filed: 2004-05-20
Abstract: A surgical severing and stapling instrument clamps tissue within an end effector of an
elongate channel pivotally opposed by an anvil. An E-beam firing bar affirmatively
maintains a desired spacing while severing and stapling tissue by longitudinally engaging the
anvil and elongate channel. Separate closing action and firing (i.e., severing and stapling)
action of the end effector allows a clinician to selectively position and clamp tissue. The end
effector enables this advantageous separate firing while affirmatively spacing the end effector
by having an upper pin of the firing bar reside within an anvil pocket before firing. When the
anvil is closed and clamped, the upper pin of the E-beam firing bar may move longitudinally
and distally from the anvil pocket to an anvil slot thereby engaging the anvil.
