  • Publication number: 20210244441
    Abstract: A trocar assembly that includes a trocar and a seal cartridge configured to be releasably coupled to the trocar. The seal cartridge includes a top cap that includes a main body and a latch ring. The latch ring is grounded to the main body at a first angular position and has a latch located at a second angular position angularly offset from the first angular position. Applying a radial load on the latch causes the latch ring to flex in torsion at an intermediate portion that angularly interposes the first and second angular positions.

  • Publication number: 20200060458
    Abstract: A drink system comprising a platform configured to extend between supporting members. The drink system comprises a body configured to traverse a plane between the two supporting members when attached to the platform, the body comprising an interior space configured to store liquid. The drink system optionally comprises a tube to draw the liquid from the body. The tube comprising a first portion configured to fit within the body and a second portion configured to extend outside the body. The drink system optionally includes a clip configured to attach to the second portion of the tube for placement of the tube relative to a user to draw the liquid from the body.

  • Publication number: 20100108658
    Abstract: Systems and methods for energizing a low voltage electrical resistance igniter are disclosed. The systems and methods determine the line voltage into the system and control the voltage being applied to the electrical resistance igniters so a first regulated voltage is applied initially and for a time period and thereafter a second regulated voltage is applied, the second voltage being the operating voltage for the igniter. The systems and methods decrease the amount of time required to heat-up the low voltage electrical resistance igniter to a temperature sufficient to ignite a fuel-air mixture while regulating the output voltage being delivered to the igniters to prevent over voltage damage to the igniters.
