Abstract: A trocar assembly can include a cannula, a seal cartridge, and an obturator. The seal cartridge is configured to be releasably coupled to the cannula and to be disposed at least partially within the cannula in a coupled configuration of the seal cartridge. The obturator is configured to directly latch to the cannula and to extends through the cannula and the seal cartridge in a coupled configuration of the obturator.

Abstract: A hair dryer includes a body having an air inlet and an air outlet, a fan for generating air flow from the air inlet to the air outlet, a heater for heating the air flow, and an attachment secured to the body and in communication with the air outlet to receive the air flow. A plurality of openings through which the air flow blows is formed in a concave surface which is sized and shaped for receiving a convex-shaped hair brush. The body includes a base portion adapted to support the hair dryer in a vertical orientation on a horizontal support surface so that the dryer can be utilized with hands free operation. The body also includes a grip portion between the base portion and the attachment that forms a cylindrically-shaped hand grip. Vertical central axes of the attachment, the grip portion, and the base portion are coaxial.

Abstract: A data management system consistent with the present invention communicates with a client terminal. The system includes a virtual address connection defining a network address to which the client terminal sends a request reflecting a function to be performed. The system also includes a plurality of server devices, each capable of performing the server function requested by the client terminal. Each of the plurality of server devices has access to a common storage device. A load balancer, associated with the virtual address connection, receives the request and selects one of the plurality of server devices to perform the requested function. The load balancer routes the request to the selected server device to perform the requested function, and the selected server device accesses the common storage device to perform the request.
