  • Publication number: 20220265307
    Abstract: Ultrasonic treatment device includes a blade configured to apply ultrasonic vibrations to target tissue and a jaw movable relative to the blade between open and closed configurations. In some examples, the jaw includes a base having an inner channel and a plurality of slots in communication with the inner channel, and a pad having a plurality of protrusions, each protrusion configured to be received within a different slot of the plurality of slots. In further examples, the jaw includes a base having a pair of side walls defining an inner channel, one of the side walls including a rail member extending into the channel, and a pad having a single groove for receiving the rail member when the pad is positioned within the channel. A surface of the groove is configured to contact a surface of the rail when a force is applied against a grasping surface of the pad.

  • Publication number: 20110149578
    Abstract: Disclosed is a heat-resistant light-emitting device wherein luminance is increased by increasing the light emission area. A light-emitting device 1 comprises: a plate-like heat dissipation member 2; a light-emitting body 3 emitting linear or surface light, which is mounted on the heat dissipation member 2 and has a substrate 31 and a semiconductor laminate 32 formed on substrate 31; a fluorescent lens 4 covering the light-emitting body 3 on the heat dissipation member 2; and a light-emitting-body-side vacuum heat insulation layer 5 formed between fluorescent lens 4 and the light-emitting body 3. The light-emitting device 1 secures heat dissipation performance, while increasing the light emission area.
