Abstract: An adapter assembly configured to be coupled to a surgical loading unit includes a switch, an elongated member, and an annular member. The switch is configured to be toggled in response to the surgical loading unit being coupled to the adapter assembly. The elongated member is in communication with the switch and is resiliently biased in a distal direction toward a locking position in which the switch is toggled. The annular member is disposed adjacent the elongated member and is rotatable between a first orientation, in which the annular member prevents distal movement of the elongated member, and a second orientation, in which the elongated member moves distally to toggle the switch.

Abstract: A system for scheduling the execution of container workloads from a series of applications and a series of containers of each application. The system includes a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by the processor, cause the system to calculate a conflict penalty matrix including a conflict penalty for each potential combination of container workloads of the plurality of containers, and calculate a minimum total conflict penalty of the container workloads and a number of workload batches for executing the container workloads. The number of workload batches is associated with the minimum total conflict penalty. The instructions, when executed by the processor, further cause the system to assign the container workloads to the workload batches based on the minimum total conflict penalty and the number of the workload batches.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a detector that includes a pre-charge circuit. The pre-charge circuit receives a supply voltage. A pre-charged comparator is coupled to the pre-charge circuit and receives the supply voltage. The pre-charged comparator generates a transition signal at a transition node. A slope of the transition signal is greater than a slope of the supply voltage. A first diode connected transistor receives the supply voltage. A first capacitor is coupled to the first diode connected transistor. An inverter is coupled to the first diode connected transistor and generates an enable signal when the supply voltage is below a threshold voltage.

Abstract: A reference circuit may include a bandgap reference stage, a filter stage, and a buffer stage. The reference stage may be configured to generate a reference voltage or current. The filter stage may be coupled to the reference stage and may be configured to receive the reference voltage or current, filter noise from the reference voltage or current, receive a buffer output voltage or current, and filter noise from the buffer output voltage or current. The buffer stage may be coupled to the filter stage and may be configured to isolate the reference stage and the filter stage from a loading effect of a load circuit and generate a reference signal based on the reference voltage or current to drive the load circuit.

Abstract: An adapter assembly includes an elongated body, a switch, a sensor link, and an annular member. The elongated body includes a proximal portion configured to couple to a handle assembly and a distal portion configured to couple to a surgical loading unit. The switch is configured to be toggled in response to the surgical loading unit being coupled to the distal portion of the adapter assembly. The sensor link is disposed within the distal portion of the adapter assembly and biased toward a distal position. The sensor link is longitudinally movable between a proximal position and the distal position. The annular member is disposed within the distal portion and is rotatable between a first orientation, in which the annular member prevents distal movement of the sensor link, and a second orientation, in which the sensor link moves distally to toggle the switch.

Abstract: A force transmitting assembly of an adapter assembly includes a rotatable drive shaft, a strain sensor, and a drive member. The drive shaft includes a proximal portion, a distal portion, and a flange. The distal portion includes a threaded portion. The strain sensor is coupled to the drive shaft and disposed adjacent the flange such that longitudinal movement of the drive shaft imparts a force on the strain sensor via the flange. The distal drive member has a proximal end rotatably coupled to the threaded portion of the drive shaft and a distal end configured to be operatively coupled to a driven member of a surgical loading unit. Rotation of the drive shaft longitudinally moves the drive member relative to the drive shaft to actuate the surgical loading unit.

Abstract: Transforming time series data points from concurrent processes is described. A time series database system writes, to a queue, a first time series data point received from a first process. The time series database system writes, to the queue, a second time series data point received from a second process that executes concurrently with the first process. The time series database system removes the first time series data point and the second time series data point from the queue. The time series database system creates transformed time series data by applying a transformation to the first time series data point and the second time series data point. The time series database system outputs the transformed time series data to a user device.
