Abstract: An energy module for driving electrosurgical and/or ultrasonic surgical instruments is disclosed. The energy module can include an amplifier assembly that is configured to drive a variety of different energy modalities for one or more surgical instruments connected thereto. The energy module can further include a relay assembly for selectively coupling one or more of the amplifiers to different ports to which the surgical instruments are connectable. The amplifier assembly can include amplifiers for driving ultrasonic, bipolar, and/or monopolar energy.

Abstract: The present invention provides a compound of formula (I) or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, pharmaceutical compositions comprising a compound of the invention, a method for manufacturing compounds of the invention and therapeutic uses thereof.

Abstract: Dropping a weight onto a weight lifting drop bag allows a weight lifter to drop a weight onto a floor with minimal damage to the floor, with minimal noise, and without any bouncing of the weight. The bag is a flexible enclosure filled with resilient pellets. The bag has a generally flat or slightly concave upper surface, a length of about two to eight feet, a width of about one and one-half to four feet, and a height of about two to twelve inches.

Abstract: The invention is a single device comprised of both an eye enhancer cover and a shade collector the two being connected to each other by two or more elastic band fasteners so it can be removably mounted on a sighting telescopic sight and can be easily stored when not in use. The object of the device is to optimize sighting of a target area under adverse lighting conditions with a single device.

Abstract: An impedance matching circuit (10) matches the impedance of a load (19) coupled to an RF amplifier (12) to that of the RF amplifier (12). The impedance matching circuit (10) samples a transmitted signal from the RF amplifier (12) and a reflected signal from the load (19). The amplitude and the phase of the sampled reflected signal are compared with those of the sampled transmitted signal to calculate the impedance mismatch. A control logic circuit (80) adjusts the capacitance and inductance values of variable capacitance (23; 27) and inductance (35) elements in the impedance matching circuit (10), thereby matching the impedance of the load (19) to that of the RF amplifier (12).

Abstract: A saw blade for in-line reciprocating hand-held power saws has first and second types of cutting teeth adapted to cut materials of disparate hardness disposed on its first and second oppositely disposed cutting edges. Saw blades according to the invention are fabricated in a die having first and second longitudinally oriented sections. Band saw blade material having a back edge and a factory cutting edge having teeth adapted to cut a first type of material is placed in the die. When closed under pressure, the first die section cuts the back edge of the band saw blade material in the desired second edge of the saw blade. The second die section cuts a desired type of cutting teeth on a previously shaped second cutting edge of a blade. A power saw equipped with the saw blade cuts a first component of material having a first hardness using the first cutting edge of a blade.

Abstract: A physical exercise apparatus including a hand-propelled lawn mower having an exercise computer for selectively displaying exercise data including speed and the like thereon obtained while mowing a lawn.
