Abstract: An apparatus for removing a modular electronic device from a chassis and a method for assembling thereof are provided. The apparatus for removing the modular electronic device from the chassis comprises a door pivotally coupled to the chassis, a sliding element in slidable engagement with the door, a first ejection actuator coupled to the door and configured to move simultaneously with the door, a second ejection actuator including a spring member connected to the second ejection actuator and to the rear of the chassis, and a linkage element connecting the sliding element with the second ejection actuator. Additionally, the apparatus for removing the modular electronic device from the chassis comprises a guide rail disposed in the chassis enclosure to guide the modular electronic device and to guide the second ejection actuator along the chassis enclosure.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a system for releasing a ligament. In one embodiment, the system includes a proximal handle, a tubular body, and a flexible body. The tubular body includes a proximal end and a distal end. The handle is coupled to the proximal end. The flexible body extends through the tubular body and includes a tissue cutting portion. The flexible body is longitudinally displaceable relative to the tubular body to move the tissue cutting portion between a non-deployed state and a deployed state.
