Abstract: SURGICAL STAPLER WITH SELF-ADJUSTING STAPLE HEIGHT 
Abstract 
A surgical stapler is provided that includes a spring loaded lift that automatically adjusts 
a staple cartridge and/or staple formation between a range of sizes. The lift is automatically 
released as the staple firing mechanism begins its forward translation of the firing sequence. The 
automatic one-way adjustment also adjusts the staple cartridge while maintaining the cartridge 
parallel to the anvil to provide consistent staple formations.

Abstract: Techniques for ascertaining the geographic position of users and terminals in a wireless communications system are used, for example, by operations personnel in performing system maintenance and by emergency personnel in locating lost or injured individuals. According to an exemplary method of requesting and obtaining user position information, user terminals in a wireless communications system routinely transmit position information to mobile switching centers in the system, and the mobile switching centers maintain up-to-date terminal position information in visiting location registers. Requests for user position information are routed to a home location register which in turn routes terminal position requests to mobile switching centers with which the target users are registered. Terminal position information is retrieved from the appropriate visiting location registers and sent back to the requesting parties with a minimum of system traffic.
