Abstract: Mitigating a user interface display function of a modular energy system includes receiving formatted video data at a video data converter circuit, providing differential video signaling data to the display from the video data converter circuit, providing a copy of the differential video signaling data to a processor, and determining that the differential video signaling data is changing over time. Mitigating erroneous outputs from an isolated interface includes receiving a state of a first switch of a first footswitch coupled to a first comparator and a reference voltage coupled to the first comparator, receiving the state of the first switch coupled to the first duplicate comparator and the reference voltage coupled to the first duplicate comparator, comparing the output of the first comparator with the output of the first duplicate comparator, and determining activation or deactivation of a surgical instrument coupled to the controller based on the comparison.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to conjugated activatable antibodies that bind CD71 in their active form and methods of making and using these anti-CD71 conjugated activatable antibodies in a variety of therapeutic, diagnostic and prophylactic indications.

Abstract: A method and system is disclosed for procuring goods and services through a computer based system accessible by a plurality of entities having a common relationship. An arrangement is made with a plurality of suppliers to participate in offering goods and services to the entities through the computer based system. A price for the respective goods and services provided by at least subset of the suppliers at which the entities can purchase those goods and services is negotiated with those suppliers. The entities can, via the computer based system, obtain prices directly from the suppliers. The entities can place orders with any of the suppliers via the computer based system. Information on the transactions made via the computer based system is tracked and used to determine if more favorable prices are available for a good or service than the negotiated price.
