  • Patent number: 9895160
    Abstract: A probe includes a probe distal end body, a vibration transmission body and a heat dissipation unit. The probe distal end body includes a first electrode. The vibration transmission body is arranged to a proximal end of the probe distal end body. The vibration transmission body transmits ultrasonic vibration generated by an ultrasonic transducer to the probe distal end body, and transmits current to the first electrode. An interior surface of the probe distal end body and an interior surface of the vibration transmission body define an interior space. The heat dissipation unit dissipates heat generated at the probe distal end body, wherein at least a portion of the heat dissipation unit is arranged in the interior space defined by the probe distal end body and the vibration transmission body. A treatment instrument includes the probe and an end effector including a second electrode.

  • Patent number: 7742250
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to spectral analysis of a position error signal. In a particular embodiment, the method includes analyzing a spectral content of a position error signal. The method also includes comparing the spectral content to a threshold. Further, the method includes determining a result based on the comparing the spectral content to the threshold. In another particular embodiment, the spectral content of the position error signal is determined by performing a discrete fourier transform (DFT) on the error signal, determining a magnitude of the DFT output, and low pass filtering the magnitude.

  • Patent number: 7667922
    Abstract: Bias force changes in a disk drive, including transient bias changes, are predicted and/or estimated. Bias compensation or change in bias compensation is calculated based on drive operating parameters such as seek length. Calculation can correspond to a modeled relationship of bias forces to seek length. Preferably, bias compensation calculation is adaptive and calculation parameters can be updated during normal read/write use of the disk drive.

  • Patent number: 7537804
    Abstract: In some embodiments, the invention may include utilization of at least one iteration of an ALD pulse sequence that has the pulse subsets M2-M1-R- and M1-(R-M2-)x: where x is at least 2; where M1 is a first metal-containing precursor comprising a first metal, M2 is a second metal-containing precursor comprising a second metal different from the first metal, and R is a reactant which reacts with one or both of the first and second metals. The ALD pulse sequence forms material over a substrate, and such material includes the first and second metals. The hyphen between pulses means that the second pulse directly follows the first pulse, with the term “directly follows” indicating that the second pulse either immediately follows the first pulse or that only a purge separates the first and second pulses.

  • Patent number: 6845893
    Abstract: The generally rectangular support platform of a mounting foot primary component includes laterally extending tabs configured for reception in respective of longitudinally extending slots defined by an elongated strength member of the light bar. Diagonally opposite corners of the support platform are rounded off so that the primary component is installable by insertion toward the elongated member at an angular orientation and rotation to engage the tabs in the slots. The support platform defines a recessed channel for carrying a metal retaining bar. Fasteners passing through threaded openings in the retaining bar force the retaining bar and primary component away from the elongated member, placing the support platform tabs and lateral ends of the retaining bar in frictional engagement with the lips of the elongated member. A blocking bar is fixed against an end face of the primary component to block counter rotation of the mounting foot relative to the elongated member.

  • Publication number: 20040007189
    Abstract: An apparatus for preventing game feed from clogging within a game feed dispenser. The game feed dispenser includes a container for storing the game feed. At a bottom portion of the container is a funnel having an opening. The apparatus includes a rotating plate positioned underneath the container. At least two agitating panels are affixed to the top of the rotating plate and extend through the funnel opening into the interior of the container where the game feed is stored. A motor rotates the rotating plate. Upon rotation of the rotating plate, the agitating panels also rotate. Rotation of the agitating panels within the interior of the container allows the agitating panels to break the game feed into smaller pieces, which allows the game feed to easily exit through the opening of the funnel.
