Abstract: Exemplary modular gas blocks may include a body having inlet and outlet ends. The body may define a portion of a first gas path along a length of the body and may define a second gas path along a width of the body. The first gas path may include channel segments defined within the body. The inlet end may define a gas inlet that is coupled with the first gas path. The body may define first fluid ports that are coupled with the first gas path. A fluid port of the first fluid ports may be coupled with the gas inlet. The first fluid ports may be coupled with one another via a respective channel segment. An upper surface may define a lateral fluid port that is spaced apart from a first fluid port along the width and is coupled with the first fluid port via the second gas path.

Abstract: A system includes a mounting panel having diffusion-bonded metal plates that form a reservoir to contain a process fluid, multiple channels through which to flow the process fluid, and vias through which to flow the process fluid to and from process fluid control components attached to the mounting panel. At least a pair of the multiple channels are connected with the reservoir. A temperature sensor is attached to a top of the mounting panel, the temperature sensor in fluid communication with the reservoir through one of the vias. A set of inlet ports are attached to the mounting panel, the set of inlet ports to receive the process fluid. At least one outlet port is attached to the mounting panel, the at least one outlet port to output the process fluid from the mounting panel.

Abstract: Exemplary modular gas delivery assemblies may include a plurality of modular gas blocks coupled together. Each gas block may include an upper portion and a lower portion. A first end of the upper portion may extend beyond a first end of the lower portion and a second end of the lower portion may extend beyond a second end of the upper portion. A first fluid channel may include a first fluid port, a second fluid port, and a third fluid port. The block body may define a second fluid channel that extends transversely to the first fluid channel. A first modular gas block may be coupled with a second modular gas block and a third modular gas block such that the first fluid channels of each of the first, second, and third modular gas blocks are fluidly coupled with one another.

Abstract: An apparatus comprises a mounting panel including a top plate having multiple vias and multiple orifices. An internal face of the top plate includes a first cut-out region and channels through which to flow a process fluid. The first cut-out region can be a reservoir in which to contain the process fluid. The multiple vias are adapted for passing the process fluid through the top plate. The multiple orifices are adapted for attaching a plurality of process fluid control components to the mounting panel. An inner plate also has multiple additional vias. The apparatus includes a bottom plate, where the inner plate is compacted between the top plate and the bottom plate to form an integral metallic body in which to contain and flow the process fluid.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a surgical fastener applying apparatus for applying fasteners to body tissue. The apparatus includes a cartridge receiving half-section defining an elongated channel member configured to releasably receive a firing assembly and a single use loading unit. A lockout structure prevents insertion of the single use loading unit into the channel member after the firing assembly is mounted to the cartridge receiving half-section. Alternatively, the lockout structure prevents full insertion of the firing assembly into the cartridge receiving half-section, if the single use loading unit is not engaged with the firing assembly.

Abstract: A fastener applying apparatus (20) includes an anvil half-section (100) and a cartridge receiving half-section (200) having a distal portion dimensioned to releasably receive a single use loading unit (“SULU”) (400) and a proximal portion configured to support a firing assembly (500). The firing assembly includes a stationary housing (502) and a firing lever (516) having one or more lever guide projections (522). The firing lever is slidable from a proximal end of the stationary housing to a distal end of the stationary housing to define a firing stroke. A clamping lever (300) is movable from an undamped position to a clamped position to releasably secure the distal anvil portion in close approximation with the SULU. The clamping lever defines one or more lever guide slots (316). The lever guide projection(s) is positioned to enter the lever guide slot(s) upon initiation of the firing stroke to inhibit movement of the clamping lever to the undamped position during the firing stroke.
