Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include computer-implemented methods, systems, and vehicles for determining a travel range of a vehicle. In an illustrative embodiment, a perimeter is determined indicating a travel range of a vehicle from a starting location based on the capacity of the battery system. At least one charging location is identified within the perimeter. An option is provided to generate an extended perimeter indicating an extended travel range of the vehicle travel from the starting location based on a recharge of the battery system at the at least one charging location. Map data is generated including at least one visualized travel range chosen from the perimeter and the extended perimeter.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for presenting information related to electric charging stations for charging an electric vehicle. A first plurality of icons corresponding to an identified plurality of electric charging stations may be generated for presentation on a display. A zoom command to modify a zoom level of the map interface may be received, and in response to receiving the zoom command, a subset of the plurality of electric charging stations having a charging speed above a threshold charging speed may be identified, and a second plurality of icons, corresponding to the identified subset of the plurality of electric charging stations, may be generated for presentation at the display on a zoomed-out view of the map interface. Selectable options to display a detailed view of information related to an electric charger associated with an electric charger category from among multiple electric charger categories may be provided.

Abstract: An electrosurgical device is described. The device can include a housing, a channel, and an actuator. The channel can comprise an electrode forming a tip. The actuator can be mechanically coupled to the electrode and the housing. The actuator can be configured to move between a first position and a second position and can be further configured to transition the tip from a retracted position when the actuator is at the first position to an extended position when the actuator is at the second position. A movement of the actuator from the first position to the second position can close an electrical circuit comprising the electrode and a source of electrical energy to generate a flow of current through the electrode for heating the tip to an elevated temperature suitable for cauterizing tissue.

Abstract: Surgical staplers and methods of their use are provided. In one embodiment, a surgical stapler includes a tubular shaft having a proximal end and a distal end, a handle extending from the proximal end of the tubular shaft, a head assembly extending from the distal end of the tubular shaft, and an insertion guide configured to extend through the head assembly. The insertion guide includes an expandable member configured to move between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration and a camera configured to be positioned at least partially within the expandable member.

Abstract: The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a mixture of a water-miscible silicone material and a water-miscible lubricant. The mixture can be applied in relatively low amounts, to provide thin, substantially non-dripping lubricating films. In contrast to dilute aqueous lubricants, the lubricants of the invention provide drier lubrication of the conveyors and containers, a cleaner conveyor line and reduced lubricant usage, thereby reducing waste, cleanup and disposal problems.

Abstract: The passage of a container along a conveyor is lubricated by applying to the container or conveyor a lubricant composition comprising a water-miscible silicone material having a silicone emulsion wherein the silicone emulsion contains less than 500 ppm of a triethanolamine salts of alkyl benzene sulfonic acid compounds.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to implementing a secret mode in a social networking system. The secret mode provides a separate space for users to share and interact with particular friends. To implement the secret mode, each user may have a feed that is separate from the user's primary feed, the feed sometimes referred to as a secondary feed. Accordingly, a first user and a second user may each have a secondary feed. The first user may identify the second user as included in an audience of the first user. Based on the second using being included in the audience of the first user, content posted to the audience of the first user may be sent to the secondary feed of the second user such that the second user may view the content.

Abstract: A stand and method for elevating and leveling an appliance above the ground surface with an adjustable stand having a first surface for supporting the appliance in an upright and vertical manner and a second surface for engaging with the ground, where the space between these surface is adjustable at one or more points by independently rotating a plurality of the second surfaces in order to selectively vertically displace the first surface with respect to the ground.

Abstract: A reciprocating syringe injector includes an inside arm and an outside arm pivotally mounted to the inside arm. A spring bias biases the inside arm away from the outside arm. A small syringe retainer is formed on the inside arm. A ratchet member extends from the inside arm toward the outside arm. The ratchet member has ratchet teeth protruding from the ratchet member. A ratchet engagement extension is pivotally mounted to the outside arm. The ratchet engagement extension has a ratchet engagement edge that engages the ratchet teeth formed on the ratchet member. The reciprocating syringe injector also optionally includes a large reservoir retainer mounted to the small syringe retainer. The large reservoir retainer could also be mounted anywhere on the inside arm.
