Abstract: A small air-cooled internal combustion engine includes an aluminum cylinder block at least partially defining an aluminum cylinder bore, an aluminum cylinder head attached to the aluminum cylinder block, and an aluminum push rod tube separate from and press fit between the aluminum cylinder block and the aluminum cylinder head. The aluminum push rod tube includes a cylinder block end portion, a cylinder head end portion, and a main body extending between the cylinder block end portion and the cylinder head end portion.

Abstract: The application relates to a hand access laparoscopy device having a gelcap, a retainer, a sleeve and a retention ring. The gelcap includes gel that is bonded to a cap. The cap includes an inner cylindrical wall to which the gel in bonded, thereby providing a sealing area between the device and the wound in a body wall. By securing the gel to the inner cylindrical wall, the thickness of the gel and corresponding cap is minimized along with the overall footprint of the device. With the gel thickness reduced and able to be substantially flush, the “doming” phenomenon produced by insufflation of a patient's abdomen is reduced.

Abstract: By including a Variable Second Pad Keel, a watercraft experiences a reduction in Slamming forces as well as generally improved Seakeeping and Seakindliness.

Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods for early detection, assessment, monitoring and prevention of pathophysiological conditions originating and/or emanating from skin or localized tissues, including but not limited to acute or chronic episodes of soft tissue pathology, wound, injury, dermatological or rheumatoid condition where bio-signal patterns, biomarkers or other identifiable elements or references would deviate from baseline. Specifically, the present invention relates to methods and systems specially designed and adapted for early detection of a latent pathogenic bio-signal anomaly using multiple aggregated sensors before the anomaly would otherwise be detectable.

Abstract: A mountable enclosure can include a base and a door pivotally connected along a vertical axis. The base and door can include electronic component mounting areas, horizontal cable management areas, and vertical cable management areas. A mounting system can include at least one enclosure and at least one bracket, the bracket having a rigid body with first, second, and third parallel surfaces wherein the first and third surfaces are on one plane and the second surface is on a different plane. The bracket can be fastened to the wall and the enclosure can be fastened to the bracket and the wall. Multiple enclosures can be installed in vertical alignment through a method that can require only one installer and the leveling of only the first bracket wherein notches in subsequent brackets are mated with pegs extending from the base of previously installed enclosures.

Abstract: An electrosurgical generator arranged to supply radio frequency (RF) energy to fuse tissue is provided. The generator is arranged to supply RF energy through a removably coupled electrosurgical instrument to fuse tissue grasped by the instrument. The generator monitors a phase angle of the supplied RF energy and adjusts or terminates the supplied RF energy based on the monitored phase angle in comparison to predetermined thresholds and conditions to optimally fuse the tissue. The electrosurgical instrument conducts radio frequency energy to fuse tissue captured between the jaws and a blade to mechanically cut tissue between the jaws.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method involves accessing a library of video segments, receiving a user instruction to assemble a movie related to an organizing element that includes a video segment from the library of video segments, relating the organizing element to a video segment in the library of video segments, determining, based on relating the organizing element to the video segment in the library of video segments, whether the video segment should be added to a list of selected segments used to assemble the movie, selectively adding the video segment to the list of selected segments in response to determining that the video segment should be added, and assembling the movie using the list of selected segments.

Abstract: By including a Concentric Pad Keel, a watercraft experiences a reduction in Slamming forces as well as generally improved Seakeeping and Seakindliness.

Abstract: Surgical access systems and obturators for or used in surgical access systems are provided. The obturator is configured to operate or accommodate the use of at least two different sized trocars. The outer diameter of the adaptable obturator when inserted into a trocar compresses from an initial condition to a compressed condition to match the inner diameter of the trocar.

Abstract: A magnetic rotational position sensor assembly for measurement of a rotational angular position of a rotating structure. The sensor assembly includes a shaft member extending along a primary rotational axis for primary rotational movement in response to rotation of the rotating structure, a motion conversion member structured and configured to transform the primary rotational movement of the shaft member into secondary movement, a magnet member secured to the motion conversion member for displacement along a travel path in response to the converted secondary movement of the motion conversion member, and a non-contact magnetic sensor that senses a change in position of the magnet member by sensing a corresponding variation in the magnetic field during displacement of the magnet member along the travel path in response to rotation of the rotating structure, wherein the magnetic sensor generates an output signal representative of a relative rotational angular position of the rotating structure.

Abstract: Clock circuits and apparatus containing such are useful in clock synchronization and skew adjustment. Such clock circuits may include a delay line coupled to receive an input signal, wherein the delay line comprises a plurality of delay elements, and wherein at least two delay elements of the plurality of delay elements differ in unit time delay. Such clock circuits may further include a phase detector coupled to receive the input signal and a signal generated from an output signal of the delay line. The phase detector may be configured to compare the input signal to the generated signal and to adjust a length of the delay line to synchronize the input signal and the generated signal.
