Inventor: GETTINGER REBECCA J
IPC: A61B50/30
Filed: 2015-06-24
Abstract: An apparatus comprises a body, a shaft assembly, an end effector, and an articulation joint. The end effector is operable to manipulate (e.g., staple) tissue. The articulation joint couples the end effector with the shaft assembly and permits the end effector to deflect away from the longitudinal axis of the shaft assembly. The articulation joint comprises a locking assembly, which is operable to selectively lock the angular position of the end effector relative to the longitudinal axis of the shaft assembly; and an unlocking feature. The unlocking feature is operable to selectively unlock the locking assembly. The shaft assembly further comprises a first movable member, which is operable to selectively drive articulation of the end effector at the articulation joint; and a second movable member, which is operable to selectively drive the unlocking feature. The second movable member is movable independently relative to the first movable member.

Abstract: Digital calibration systems and related methods are disclosed for multi-stage analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). For one embodiment, a multi-stage ADC includes an initial ADC, an additional ADC, and calibration logic. The initial ADC generates an output signal and N-bit digital values that are based upon an input signal. The additional ADC receives the output signal from the initial ADC and generates M-bit digital values that are based upon the output signal. The calibration logic receives the N-bit digital values and the M-bit digital values and generates correction values. The correction values are based upon differences between maximum values and minimum values for M-bit digital values associated with different regions determined by the N-bit digital values. Digital conversion outputs for the multi-stage ADC are provided as combinations of the N-bit digital values and the M-bit digital values corrected with the correction values.

Abstract: A duty cycle correction circuit (106) includes a duty cycle adjuster (108) that is configured to receive first and second differential input signals (D1, D2) having first and second duty cycles, respectively, that are distorted with respect to a reference duty cycle. The duty cycle adjuster is further configured to iteratively adjust the first and second duty cycles to generate first and second differential output signals (O1, O2) having third and fourth duty cycles that are within a predefined range of the reference duty cycle, respectively. During each iteration, the duty cycle adjuster adjusts the first and second duty cycles based on correction bits (B1-B4) that are generated based on a duty cycle detection signal (DS) that indicates whether the third duty cycle is greater than or less than the fourth duty cycle, and a lock signal (LOCK) that is activated when the duty cycle detection signal toggles from one logic state to another.

Title: Security device against lifting, device for the drive transmission, security device against pivoting and lamellar blind comprising at least one of these devices
IPC: E06B9/302
Filed: 1984-04-09
Abstract: A venetian blind is disclosed having a drive transmission, a lift safety, and an anti-twist safety. The slats are arranged in a stationary frame, and a movable carriage is coupled to at least one of the slats. The carriage moves along a part of the stationary frame for raising and lowering the slats. The lift safety includes a lever or locking pawl mounted on the carriage and positioned to be engaged by a projection on a lift chain or strap. The lever is mounted on the carriage so that the distance between the point of mounting and a point of contact between the lever and the stationary frame decreases as the lever becomes perpendicular to the raising direction. As a result, the lever locks the carriage in position at unauthorized lifting and stops are positioned on the carriage for holding the lever in the locking position. In addition, when the lever is pulled upward from the locking position, it pivots quickly around one of the stops and away from the stationary frame.

direct solids-to-gas contact being established by lifting and 
cascading reacting solids through hot gas streams such that 
throughput, high thermal efficiency and low energy input are 
obtained in producing high yields of volatile product. In par­
ticular, high oil yields and gas yields are obtained when pro­
cessing oil shale, but with low sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides 
in the flue gases and reduced hydrogen sulfide in the retort 
gases.
