Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to a method of driving an end effector coupled to an ultrasonic drive system of a surgical instrument. The method comprises generating at least one electrical signal. The at least one electrical signal is monitored against a first set of logic conditions. A first response is triggered when the first set of logic conditions is met. A parameter is determined from the at least one electrical signal.

Abstract: A method for determining motional branch current in an ultrasonic transducer of an ultrasonic surgical device over multiple frequencies of a transducer drive signal. The method may comprise, at each of a plurality of frequencies of the transducer drive signal, oversampling a current and voltage of the transducer drive signal, receiving, by a processor, the current and voltage samples, and determining, by the processor, the motional branch current based on the current and voltage samples, a static capacitance of the ultrasonic transducer and the frequency of the transducer drive signal.

Abstract: A method, a computer program product, and a system for performing a batch processing are provided. The batch processing includes initializing a set of elements corresponding to a set of resources to produce an initialized group and chaining the initialized group to previously initialized elements to produce an element batch, when the previously initialized elements are available. The batch processing further includes setting a system lock on the set of resources after the element batch is produced; executing a service routine to move the element batch to a queue by referencing first and last elements of the element batch; and releasing the system lock on the set of resources once the service routine is complete.
