Abstract: A surgical instrument for being endoscopically or laparoscopically inserted into a surgical site for simultaneous stapling and severing of tissue includes force adjusted spacing between an upper jaw or anvil (20) and a lower jaw comprising a staple cartridge (42) engaged to an elongate staple channel (40) so that the height of staple formation corresponds to the thickness of the tissue, yet does not exceed the height range that may be accommodated by the length of the staples. In particular, resilient structures are formed into an E-beam firing bar (50) that includes a cutting surface or knife (80) that severs tissue (46) between a top pin (54) that engages the anvil and a middle pin (72) and lower foot (70) that engage the lower jaw.

Title: Method and apparatus for calibrating a flow meter
Inventor: LAUKKANEN VILLE
IPC: G01F25/10
Filed: 2011-08-23
Abstract: In the method for calibrating a flow meter, at least two acoustic sensors (7, 8) are arranged at a distance to each other on a straight measuring portion (5), and a tracer (6) is fed into the fluid flowing in the process pipe (4) at a set mixing distance (3) from the first measuring point (7). The momentary reference value of the flow velocity of the flowing fluid is measured by determining the travel time of the acoustic tracer (6) between at least two sensors (7, 8) on the same straight measuring portion (5), by using the acoustic sensors (7, 8) to detect the relative content response of the tracer (6). This measured value can be compared with the value displayed by the flow meter (4). The mixing distance (3) of the tracer is arranged to be at least long enough for the tracer (6) to have effectively mixed at the first measuring point (7) over the entire cross-section of the flow path of the fluid.

Title: Amelioration of frequency errors and their effects
Inventor: RENSTROM THOMAS
IPC: G01S19/23
Filed: 2011-11-03
Abstract: A radio telephone contains a GPS receiver. The GPS includes a frequency down-converter and a non-crystal oscillator which controls the down-conversion. The output of the non-crystal oscillator is liable to discontinuous jumps, and is controlled intermittently in accordance with its value and that of a crystal oscillator. A filter is used to limit the rate of change of frequency that the control signal applied to the non-crystal oscillator demands such that the phase rotation of the output of the non-crystal oscillator is less than p over the period of time that it takes to despread a GPS signal. The crystal oscillator may also act as a controlling reference signal for the mobile phone. The cellular phone may provide control information to correct the crystal oscillator intermittently.
