Abstract: A surgical instrument includes an end effector and a handle assembly. The end effector is configured to operate at a first energy level and at a second energy level. The end effector is further configured to transition between an open position and a closed position. The end effector is configured to grasp tissue in the closed position. The handle assembly includes a body, a trigger, and an activation element. The trigger is configured to pivot in a first direction relative to the body to actuate the end effector from the open position to the closed position. The activation element is configured to activate the end effector at either the first energy level or the second energy level. The trigger is configured to either activate the activation element or determine whether the end effector operates at the first energy level or the second energy level.

Abstract: Disclosed are example embodiments of a methods and systems for analyzing and determining impact (or lack thereof) on any selected group or groups of employees of selected pay policies. An example includes a computer-implemented method for analyzing and determining impact on selected group of employees of selected pay policies. The method including receiving a first pay data for the selected group of employees. The method also including determining one or more controls for the selected group of employees. Additionally, the method including calculating an equitable pay range for the selected group of employees based on the one or more controls. The method also including receiving a user input, wherein the user input requests a second pay data relates to an employee, and is based on a selected control. The method also including calculating the second pay data; and sending the second pay data for display.
