Abstract: An instrument sterile adapter couples a surgical instrument and an instrument carriage. The instrument sterile adapter includes an instrument plate that provides a first surface to receive the surgical instrument and a latch plate joined to the instrument plate. The latch plate includes a second surface to receive the instrument carriage and latch structures. Each latch structure has a carriage latch arm that extends away from the second surface of the latch plate and an instrument latch arm joined to the carriage latch arm. The instrument latch arm extends through the instrument plate and away from the first surface of the instrument plate. A connecting member flexibly connects the carriage latch arm and the instrument latch arm to a remainder of the latch plate. The connecting member may be perpendicular to the latch arms. The latch arms may engage fixed locking surfaces in the instrument carriage and the surgical instrument.

Abstract: An icemaking appliance includes an ice storage chamber and a water jacket at least partially surrounding the ice storage chamber. A sensor assembly includes a sleeve, a conductive plug inserted into a first portion of the sleeve, and a temperature sensor inserted into a second portion of the sleeve. The first portion of the sleeve and the conductive plug are at least partially disposed within the ice storage chamber.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for performing load balancing of a data packet received by a hybrid virtual load balancer. An embodiment operates by detecting a hardware capability of a switch. The hybrid virtual load balancer may also receive policy code from a user specifying a desired load balancing behavior for the data packet. Based on the hardware capability and the policy code, the hybrid virtual load balancer may determine whether to offload load balancing of the data packet to the switch or process the data packet in software on the hybrid virtual load balancer. If the load balancing is to be offloaded, the hybrid virtual load balancer may send programming instructions to an SDN controller coupled to the switch. The programming instructions direct the SDN controller to program the switch to load balance the data packet.
