Abstract: Tissue-retrieving means for a surgical instrument having a snare loop projecting outwardly from a distal end thereof for encircling projecting body tissue, and means for contracting the loop, thereby to sever the encircled tissue, which retrieving means includes tissue engaging means, manipulating means connected to the engaging means, means for mounting the manipulating means on the instrument for manipulating the engaging means to engage tissue encircled by the loop, and means for effecting manual adjustment of the position of the engaging means relative to the loop, rotationally about a longitudinally-extending axis, for engagement of the engaging means with a selected portion of encircled tissue extending from either side of the loop.

Abstract: An airport complex comprising a main multi-level passenger terminal having peripheral gates for the enplaning and deplaning of passengers and cargo. A cargo building which is disposed in close proximity to the passenger terminal greatly shortens the time factor which usually is involved in transporting cargo to and from the passenger terminal. The airport complex is designed principally to accommodate ultra large aircraft of the jet-propelled type and novel facilities are provided for routing enplaning cargo on a priority basis from an arriving jet to a departing jet through cargo-handling facilities which are disposed within the passenger terminal, and also for routing enplaning cargo from the cargo building to a departing jet through the passenger terminal, likewise on a priority basis.
