Abstract: A surgical instrument, has an end effector that includes an ultrasonic blade, and a clamp arm that moves relative to the ultrasonic blade from an opened position toward an intermediate position and a closed position. The clamp arm is offset from the ultrasonic blade to define a predetermined gap in the intermediate position between the opened position and the closed position. A clamp arm actuator connects to the clamp arm and moves from an opened configuration to a closed configuration to direct the clamp arm from the opened position toward the intermediate position and the closed position. A spacer connects with the clamp arm to inhibit movement of the clamp arm from the intermediate position toward the closed position for maintaining the predetermined gap between the clamp arm and the ultrasonic blade.

Abstract: Systems and methods for network-based ultrasound imaging are provided, which can include a number of features. In some embodiments, an ultrasound imaging system images an object with three-dimensional unfocused pings and obtains digital sample sets from a plurality of receiver elements. A sub-set of the digital sample sets can be electronically transferred to a remote server, where the sub-set can be beamformed to produce a series of two-dimensional image frames. A video stream made up of the series of two-dimensional images frames can then be transferred from the remote server to a display device.

Abstract: A neuromodulation therapy is delivered via at least one electrode implanted subcutaneously and superficially to a fascia layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. In one example, an implantable medical device is deployed along a superficial surface of a deep fascia tissue layer superficial to a nerve of a patient. Electrical stimulation energy is delivered to the nerve through the deep fascia tissue layer via implantable medical device electrodes.

Abstract: A power tool is provided including a tool housing including a motor housing and a handle portion extending longitudinally from the motor housing; a battery receptacle disposed at an end of the handle portion opposite the motor housing, the battery receptacle being configured to receive a battery pack; and a brushless DC (BLDC) motor including an electronically-commutated stator assembly and a rotor assembly configured to rotate with respect to the stator assembly, the stator assembly comprising a stator lamination stack sized to be received within the motor housing having a circumference of approximately 140 to approximately 190 mm. The motor produces a maximum power output of at least 1600 watts for driving an output shaft at a maximum torque of at least 30 inch-pounds and a maximum speed of at least 8000 rotations-per-minute.

Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for implementing dynamic network channel switching for secure communication. The present invention is configured to receive, from a first user input device, a resource transfer request via a first communication channel; determine, using a secure channel monitoring engine, that the first communication channel does not meet one or more preset channel requirements for secure communication; determine a second communication channel associated with a second user input device, wherein the second user input device is within a preset geographic radius of the first user input device, wherein the second user input device is associated with the resource distribution platform; trigger, via the second communication channel, the second user input device to establish a communication link with the first user input device to form an alternate communication channel; and execute, via the alternate communication channel, the resource transfer request.

Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for dynamic communication channel switching based on preconfigured network security protocols.

Abstract: Systems, computer program products, and methods are described herein for the parallel testing of multiple data processing channels. The present invention may be configured to generate a data packet, send the data packet to a processing channel for processing at a send time, receive the processed data from the processing channel at a return time, determine the percent accuracy for the processed data from the processing channel, and record the send time, return time, and percent accuracy in an analytics system. The present invention may also be configured to determine the security of the processing channel and record the security in the analytics system.

Abstract: A therapy system includes a patient support apparatus and a pneumatic therapy device that is coupleable to the patient support apparatus. The therapy device may receive power and air flow from the patient support apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus for removing an auger from a grinder head includes a tool member including an auger engaging portion for receiving a front shaft portion of the auger. The auger engaging portion is adapted to be received in a tool engaging portion of the front shaft to for an interference that permits a removal force applied to the tool member to be transferred to the auger.

Abstract: An external fixator for mounting to a patient's leg or other anatomy to stabilize bones in the patient's leg or other anatomy includes a first ring including a first plurality a slots therein and a second ring including a second plurality of slots therein. A foot-plate has a generally U-shape and a third plurality of slots therein. A first strut is mounted between the first ring and the second ring. The first strut includes an upper tube, a lower tube, a first telescoping element securing the upper tube to the lower tube and first and second end fittings secured to ends of the upper and lower tubes, respectively. The first end fitting secures the first strut to the first ring and the second end fitting secures the first strut to the second ring.

Abstract: An apparatus for slicing food products includes a housing including an inlet, for receiving food products to be sliced and an outlet for discharging the sliced food product. A primary shaft is supported in the housing for rotation about a primary axis. The primary shaft carries a plurality of slicing blades that are rotatable with the primary shaft about the primary axis.
