Abstract: Various embodiments of a frame for attaching an adjunct to an end effector of a surgical device are provided. In one embodiment, the end effector can include upper and lower jaws, and the frame can include features for releasably engaging one or the jaws. The frame can also include retaining features for coupling an adjunct to a tissue-facing surface of the frame, thereby releasably coupling the adjunct material to the jaw of the end effector. In some implementations, the frame can include a plurality of retaining features that are configured to engage the adjunct material to create a tension in the adjunct material, which can further assist with securing the frame to the jaw. In other embodiments, a removable applicator member is provided for retaining at least one adjunct material and for aligning and coupling the adjunct material to a frame.

Abstract: An adjunct material for use with an end effector in a surgical instrument is provided that has at least one projection configured to mate with a corresponding recess formed in at least one jaw, such as a cartridge or anvil, of the end effector. The at least one projection can be one or more discrete projections or longitudinal projection(s) extending between distal and proximal ends of the adjunct material. An applicator member can be used to apply force to the adjunct material to thus cause the adjunct material to mate with the jaw of the end effector. The applicator member can be configured told the adjunct material and can be clamped between the jaws of the end effector to release the adjunct material onto the jaw. Also, an applicator member can be used to push portions of an adjunct material into corresponding recesses in a jaw.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for incorporating user content within a communication session interface. In one implementation, a processing device receives, in relation to a communication session between a first user and a second user, a communication input associated with a first user. The processing device processes the communication input to identify one or more content items stored on a content sharing platform that are associated with the first user and that pertain to one or more aspects of the communication input. The processing device modifies one or more aspects of an interface of the communication session based on the one or more content items.

Abstract: In one aspect, an outdoor game system is provided, comprising a plurality of upright towers that are operatively connected and suitable for installation outdoors, each tower including a plurality of contact assemblies, each contact assembly including an interface capable of responding to or detecting contact, a light source that emits light proximate the interface, and a sound source that emits sounds proximate the interface, wherein the contact assemblies operate in random or predetermined sequences that constitute game functions. In another aspect, an outdoor game system is provided, comprising four towers, each tower including four interfaces, each interface detecting or responding to contact, at least one light source, and at least one sound source, wherein the interfaces define a four-by-four grid, and the four-by-four grid is entirely visible from a single location within a field of play.

Abstract: A double-sided extended drain field effect transistor that includes a gate terminal overlying a channel region in a substrate. The substrate includes a drain region of a first carrier type that is laterally separated from the channel region by a first RESURF region of the first carrier type, and a source region of the first carrier type that is laterally separated from the channel region by a second RESURF region of the first carrier type. Regions of the first carrier type may also be disposed laterally adjacent to the source and drain regions on the opposite lateral side as compared to the RESURF regions. This configuration improves the reverse bias breakdown voltage of the transistor.
