Abstract: A shock assembly with internal bypass having position dependent reservoir flow is provided. The shock assembly includes a twin tube shock body having an inner tube and an outer tube. The shock assembly also includes a ring divider coupled between the inner body and the outer body to separate and form a fluid gap between the inner body and the outer body. The shock assembly includes bypass ports and bleeder ports formed in the inner body. Additionally, there are reservoir flow ports formed in the inner body and located above body divider ring, wherein the reservoir flow ports are configured to direct shaft displacement flow of fluid to a reservoir of the shock assembly when a piston of the shock assembly passes by the reservoir flow ports and into the bump zone during a compression stroke. This eliminates the risk of cavitation in the bump zone.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments include apparatuses for and methods of separating tissue with opposing jaw members having distal ends that translate toward a surface of the tissue as the jaw members are rotated outwardly to maintain engagement with the tissue. In an illustrative embodiment, an apparatus includes jaw members rotatably coupled adjacent to their proximal ends. The jaw members define opposing outwardly-facing curved channels disposed between their proximal and distal ends that slidably engage a distal pin. A bracket defines a distal socket that receives the distal pin. As the jaw members are motivated in a distal direction relative to the bracket toward the distal pin, engagement of the distal pin with the outwardly-facing curved channels causes the jaw members to rotate to cause the distal ends of the jaw members move outwardly transversely to the distal direction while the distal ends translate in the distal direction.

Abstract: Vegetation such as a weed (45) may be controlled by generating a foam comprising air and an aqueous solution comprising a surfactant; dispensing the foam so as to coat at least a base part of the weed that is to be controlled; and then injecting hot water into the foam (46) so as to contact the weed (45) below or within the coating of foam (46) The hot water causes the weed (45) to wilt and die, while the foam (46) suppresses heat loss from the hot water. The method may be carried out using a portable tool (10) which includes an air blower (14), a container (20) of a concentrate for the aqueous solution, a foam-generating tube (24) ending in an open-topped chute (26). The hot water may be provided through a flexible hose (22) from an external boiler (23), and after being used to produce the foam (46), the hot water be sprayed onto the top end of the chute (26).
