  • Publication number: 20240108346
    Abstract: A device for treating tissue includes a capsule extending longitudinally from a proximal end to a distal end and including a channel extending therethrough, the capsule releasably coupled to a proximal portion of the device and clip jaws, proximal ends of which are slidably received within the channel of the capsule so that the clip jaws are movable between an open configuration and a closed configuration. Clip jaws are configured so that a distance between the distal ends of the clip jaws in an open configuration is between 15 and 18 millimeters. Clip jaws further include barbs extending from a distal portion thereof.

  • Publication number: 20230401761
    Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein relate generally to increasing visibility of pixel patterns of an image. The system includes a pattern-detection application accessing an image depicting an object. The pattern-detection application determines a set of colors from the transformed image. The pattern-detection application identifies a set of pixels depicting a particular color of the set of colors. For the set of pixels depicting the particular color, the pattern-detection application converts an initial set of pixel values of the set of pixels at an initial color space to another set of pixel values that define the particular color of the set of pixels in another color space. The pattern-detection application modifies one or more values of the other set of pixel values to generate a modified set of pixel values. The modification includes causing the set of pixels visually indicate a simulated color that is different from the particular color.

  • Patent number: 8961054
    Abstract: A non-drip applicator that allows easy lubrication and seasoning of barbecue grilling grates or griddle cooking surfaces in an easy, fire safe, and efficient manner is described and claimed. The tool includes a body, an applicator, and, optionally, an irrigation system. The applicator may retain a supply of cooking oil therein, or cooking oil may be transferred to the applicator via the irrigation system. The application of pressure to the applicator by pressing it against the grill cooking elements causes cooking oil to be transferred from the applicator to the cooking elements. The applicator may be rotatably connected to the tool body, allowing the user to oil the grill by rolling the applicator along the grill cooking elements.
