  • Publication number: 20200315629
    Abstract: A reposable surgical instrument includes a handle assembly and an endoscopic assembly releasably engagable with the handle assembly. The handle assembly includes a housing, a drive bar supporting a ratchet pawl, and a trigger coupled to the housing and the drive bar. The endoscopic assembly includes a proximal hub including a ratchet rack, an elongated shaft extending from the proximal hub and supporting an end effector assembly at a distal end thereof, and a drive assembly operably coupled to the end effector assembly. In use, movement of the trigger from an un-actuated position towards an actuated position translates the drive bar from a proximal position towards a distal position to engage the ratchet pawl with the ratchet rack such that further distal translation of the drive bar towards the distal position incrementally urges the drive assembly from the un-fired position towards the fired position.

  • Publication number: 20200267557
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a method, a device, and a computer-readable storage medium for allocating system resources among a plurality of network slices in a communication network. In the communication network, a network device determines utility values of two network slices. A network slice corresponds to a set of network functions of a set of services served thereby. A utility value of the network slice indicates the level of demand for system resources by the set of services associated with the network slice. The network device determines a difference between the utility values of the two network slices. If the difference exceeds a threshold utility value, the network device re-allocates system resources among the plurality of network slices in the communication network.
