Abstract: The surgical robotic access system provides access for robotic instruments and/or actuators including the introduction, operation and withdrawal of such robotic manipulators into a body cavity without permitting the escape of pressurized fluid or gas. The surgical robotic access system also provides a multi-faceted range of movement without touching or effecting pressure on the opening in the patient's body cavity.

Abstract: A surgical stapler includes a jaw assembly at a distal end connected to a handle assembly that is configured to control the stapler and actuate the deployment of staples. The surgical stapler successfully eliminates intermediate caming portions commonly known as pushers that are located between the staples and a translating slider. The staples are located in pockets at an angle such that the base of the staple is parallel to an angled caming surface of the slider. The translating slider comes into direct contact with staples during deployment as the slider moves through each staple pocket where staples are partially supported by recesses along the slider pathway. The staples are deployed at an angle against the anvil surface. Because there are no pushers, a great deal of space is saved resulting in a much smaller diameter surgical stapler that is particularly suitable for laparoscopic stapling applications.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus including a frame a conduit coupled to the frame. The conduit is configured to adjustably extend from the frame, thereby providing a channel between the frame and a side of the server rack. The channel is configured to substantially thermally isolate a flow of gas through the channel.

Abstract: A composition comprising a self-emulsifiable or self-dispersible aqueous solution or dispersion of at least one urea linkage-containing alkoxypolyoxyalkylene fluorocarbamate prepared by contacting (a) at least one polyisocyanate which contains at least three isocyanate groups per molecule, (b) at least one fluorochemical reagent of the formula F(CF2)aCH2CH2OH, wherein a is 4, 6, or 8, or mixtures thereof, provided that a is a maximum of 50% of 8, and (c) at least one hydrophilic, water-solvatable reagent which contains per molecule a single functional group which has at least one reactive Zerewitinoff hydrogen atom, said hydrophilic, and thereafter with (d) water, the equivalent weight of said polyisocyanate and said reagents (b) and (c) being such that said reagents react with 55% to 95% of said isocyanate groups, and water reacts with all of the remaining isocyanate groups, said composition imparting durable hydrophilicity and stain release properties to a substrate treated therewith is disclosed.

Abstract: A polymer having at least one urethane or urea linkage prepared by contacting (1) at least one diisocyanate, polyisocyanate, or mixture thereof, (2) at least one triazole-containing fluorinated alcohol or triazole-containing fluorinated amine, and then with (3) water or sufficient linking agent to react with all remaining isocyanate groups is disclosed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for better manicuring a patient's nails are disclosed. A representative embodiment is a system that includes a lighting element for transilluminating the nail, a power supply for powering the lighting element, and a switch for activating the lighting element.

Abstract: A novelty sticker that may be placed on a button so as to symbolize an unintended purpose for the button is disclosed. Preferably, the button is a car dashboard button, and more particularly the button is a “dummy” car dashboard button. The novelty design may symbolize, for example, oil slick, ejection seat, or smoke screen. Methods and apparatus are also disclosed.
