  • Publication number: 20230320782
    Abstract: A surgical system for ablating a tissue, the system comprising: (a) an ablation mechanism comprising a first electrode and an opposed second electrode, wherein the ablation mechanism is configured to receive a tissue between the first electrode and the second electrode, and wherein at least one of the first electrode and the second electrode is movable to allow the first electrode and the second electrode to accommodate variable tissue thicknesses therebetween; and (b) a clamping mechanism configured to release and apply clamping pressure to the tissue between the first electrode and the second electrode, where the ablation mechanism is configured to automatically individually adjust at least one of an ablation energy output of the first electrode and an ablation energy output of the second electrode to accommodate variable tissue thicknesses between the first electrode and the second electrode.

  • Publication number: 20100180213
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and related computer program products for facilitating the generation of a document, such as a scientific poster, to be viewed by a community of human viewers in association with a hosted event, such as a scientific conference, are described, the generated document conforming to document configuration guidelines previously established for that hosted event. Provided in one preferred embodiment is an interactive document creation tool that constrains user input of content data according to constraints specified in the document configuration guidelines and then automatically generates the document from the content data in compliance with those document configuration guidelines, sparing substantial user time and effort particularly when a pre-existing antecedent electronic document is used as a basis for the content data.
