Abstract: The present invention is directed to a child resistant double seam container lid including an adapter ring for securely affixing to the double seam top rim of conventional double seamed containers that will be difficult for children to open, yet readily openable by adults. More particularly, a one-piece, two-piece, and three-piece child resistant double seam affixable container lid is provided having a first piece lid portion first, a second piece adapter ring locking member second piece and optionally a third piece securing unit piece, with rotational alignment indicators, and optional additional integral features such as a liquid measuring cup feature, a liquid tight lid feature, a threaded lid portion, a replaceable double seam container lid portion and a double seam container lid locking member adapter ring securely affixable to the double seam container.

Abstract: Various methods and devices are provided for allowing multiple surgical instruments to be inserted into sealing elements of a single surgical access device. The sealing elements can be movable along predefined pathways within the device to allow surgical instruments inserted through the sealing elements to be moved laterally, rotationally, angularly, and vertically relative to a central longitudinal axis of the device for ease of manipulation within a patient's body while maintaining insufflation.

Abstract: An emitter includes at least one of: an inlet section including inlet members forming first and second openings having different sizes; a pressure reducing section including a first pressure reducing portion having a first pressure reducing configuration and a second pressure reducing portion having a second pressure reducing configuration being different; the pressure reducing section including at least one nonlinear rail portion; a pressure responsive section including at least one nonlinear rail portion; or a base including a first base portion having a first base configuration and a second base portion having a second base configuration being different, wherein at least one of the first base portion or the second base portion is positioned in one or more of the inlet section, the pressure reducing section, or an outlet section.

Abstract: An emitter comprising a pressure responsive section and at least one feature defined by a floor, a first rail, and a second rail. The at least one feature being tuned by at least one of rail to rail distance, rail height, rail width, rail corner, vertical rail gap, transverse rail gap, external rail, floor thickness, floor profile, tip height, tip clearance, feature density, feature contour, feature angle, and feature thickness.

Abstract: A system and method for visualizing performance metrics are disclosed. The system includes a data acquisition component which collects information related to a set of agents operating in a work environment, a performance metric computation component which computes, for one of the agents, values for a performance metric at each of a plurality of times within a selected time period, and a representation generator which generates a representation for display to the agent, the representation providing the agent with information on the agent's current value for the performance metric. A processor implements the data acquisition component, the performance metric computation component, and the representation generator.
