Patent number: 11963691Abstract: A surgical instrument, has an end effector that includes an ultrasonic blade, and a clamp arm that moves relative to the ultrasonic blade from an opened position toward an intermediate position and a closed position. The clamp arm is offset from the ultrasonic blade to define a predetermined gap in the intermediate position between the opened position and the closed position. A clamp arm actuator connects to the clamp arm and moves from an opened configuration to a closed configuration to direct the clamp arm from the opened position toward the intermediate position and the closed position. A spacer connects with the clamp arm to inhibit movement of the clamp arm from the intermediate position toward the closed position for maintaining the predetermined gap between the clamp arm and the ultrasonic blade.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2020Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Ryan M.

Patent number: 6492317Abstract: Hard surface cleaning formulations include an associative thickener and a blend of at least two nonionic surfactants selected from the group consisting of ethoxylated alcohols and ethoxylated fatty acids. The formulations exhibit an advantageously high foam volume of at least about 150 cc when a 100 ml aqueous solution containing about 0.1 wt. % of the formulation is agitated at 2,500 rpm for a cumulative agitation period of about 1200 seconds. The formulations also exhibit satisfactory foam stability sufficient to clean at least about 25 plates (ASTM D4009-92). Preferably, the associative thickener is the reaction product of a C6 or greater epoxide compound with a polyoxyalkylene polyol. The ethoxylated alcohols and ethoxylated fatty acids each most preferably contain C8 to C18 carbon chains which are ethoxylated with between about 3 to about 20 moles of ethylene oxide.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 2000Date of Patent: December 10, 2002Assignee: BASF CorporationInventors: Charles O.

Patent number: 6455486Abstract: Cleaning formulations and methods are provided by which solid deposition is inhibited on hydrophobic hard surfaces typically encountered in bathroom and outdoor environments without detrimentally affecting the appearance of such surfaces. The formulations most preferably include an aqueous mixture of an organically solvated nonionic copolymer, a polyacrylic acid homopolymer and a nonionic surfactant. Optionally, a hydrotrope may also be present in the formulation. Most preferably, the formulations of this invention have a pH between about 4.0 to about 7.0, most preferably around neutral (i.e., about 7.0).Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2000Date of Patent: September 24, 2002Assignee: BASF CorporationInventors: Charles O.
