  • Publication number: 20250049464
    Abstract: An ultrasonic instrument includes a body, an actuation assembly, a shaft assembly, and an end effector. The actuation assembly includes an activation member that is operable to move in a first direction to select a mode of operation. The shaft assembly extends distally from the body and includes an acoustic waveguide. The end effector includes an ultrasonic blade that is in acoustic communication with the acoustic waveguide. The activation member is operable to move in a second direction to activate the end effector in a mode of operation selected by movement of the activation member in the first direction.

  • Publication number: 20210360969
    Abstract: A strap has first and second ends with upper and a lower edges. The strap has interior and exterior surfaces with hook and loop fasteners whereby the strap may be removably wrapped around the cigar. A magnet has a rectilinear configuration with inner and outer faces and with a rectangular magnet periphery. The magnet periphery has a magnet circumference. An intermediate component has a rectilinear configuration with a chamber there within. The chamber has a size removably receiving the magnet. The intermediate component has a front opening with a front circumference less than the magnet circumference. The intermediate component has a rear opening with a rear circumference greater than the magnetic circumference. The intermediate component has slots on opposite sides of the chamber for the passage of the straps.

  • Patent number: 5351623
    Abstract: A device is provided which safely simulates the loud noise and bright flash of light of an explosion. This device consists of an ordnance case which encloses a battery, an electronic control module, a charging circuit board, a bridge head, and a shock tube dusted with aluminum and an explosive. The electronic control module provides a time delay between initial activation of the device and the time when the device is ready to create a shock wave. Further, this electronic control module provides a central control for the electronics in the simulator. The charging circuit board uses the battery to charge a capacitor. Passing the voltage stored in the capacitor through the wires of the bridge head causes the explosive and the aluminum in the shock tube to react. This reaction produces a loud noise and bright white flash of light which simulates an explosion.
