  • Publication number: 20250058935
    Abstract: Plastic grid or framework arrangements are used to support and position of bowls that hold flower arrangements, candles, letters, and other decorative elements. These grids are deployable in water fountains, indoor and outdoor pools, and other small bodies of water during festive occasions or for longer term decorative display. The grid themselves do not float, and are positioned below the surface of the water, and thus are not readily visible. Buoyancy is provided at the hubs that form nodes in the grids. The hubs also support floating bowls containing various decorative elements. The resulting effect is that the various decorative elements appear to be floating on the surface while the sub-surface grid structure maintains their relative positioning, keeping the bowls from clumping together at the edges or in the corners of the pool or fountain.

  • Publication number: 20250032142
    Abstract: A method of setting a jaw gap for the end effector of a surgical instrument includes moving opposing upper and lower jaws of the end effector toward a closed position, wherein the upper jaw includes a first component part matable with a second component part at a mated interface. The method further includes placing a shim having a predetermined thickness between at least a portion of the upper and lower jaws such that the shim engages the lower jaw. The upper and lower jaws are progressively closed until the second component part of the upper jaw engages the shim to define the jaw gap between the lower jaw and the second component part of the upper jaw. The first and second component parts are then joined at the mated interface while the lower jaw and the second component part of the upper jaw are engaged with the shim.
