  • Publication number: 20170196621
    Abstract: A system for tissue sealing including first and second electrodes, a drive circuit, a measurement component, a rate component, and a slope regulation component is disclosed. The drive circuit is configured to provide RF energy to the first and second electrodes for application to a load. The measurement component is configured to periodically measure an impedance of the load. The rate component is configured to determine a rate of change for the impedance. The slope regulation component is configured to provide impedance slope regulation. The slope regulation may include adjusting, based on the determined rate of change for the impedance, the RF energy provided by the drive circuit to cause the rate of change for the impedance to follow a predetermined impedance rate.

  • Patent number: 9319008
    Abstract: A circuit includes a first input terminal for receiving a first pulsed voltage and a second input terminal for receiving a second pulsed voltage. The circuit further includes a load and an LC filter. The LC filter includes a coupled inductor pair that includes a first winding and a second winding magnetically coupled to each other. The first winding is coupled between the first input terminal and the load, and the second winding is coupled between the second input terminal and the load. A frequency of a first current flowing through the first winding is increased by the second pulsed voltage applied to the second winding.
