Abstract: Apparatus and methods for improved tissue cutting of circular stapling instruments include a cartridge assembly configured to maximize the force during a cutting stroke. In embodiments, the cartridge assembly is configured to maintain engagement between a knife assembly and a drive member during retraction of the knife. Alternatively, or in addition, the cartridge assembly is configured to prevent incidental advancement of the knife assembly.

Abstract: An anvil assembly is provided. The anvil assembly includes center rod assembly, a head assembly pivotal relative to the center rod assembly between an operative position and a tilted position, and a mechanism for selectively maintaining the head assembly in the operative position.

Abstract: An improved chip assembly for use in a stapling device includes a housing assembly receivable within a reload assembly. The housing assembly includes a base member defining a cavity and an identification assembly received within the cavity. The chip assembly further includes a plug assembly configured to selectively engage the base member. The plug assembly includes a housing, a wire extending from the housing, a seal member disposed within and extending from a distal end of the housing, and first and second contact members extending through the seal member and from the housing. The seal member is configured to be frictionally received within the base member to secure the plug assembly to the housing assembly in a fluid tight manner.

Abstract: Systems and methods for identifying failed customer experience in distributed computer systems. An example method comprises: receiving, by an application performance management (APM) server associated with a distributed computer system, an application layer message associated with a request originated by a client computer system responsive to an action by a user; identifying a failed customer experience error by analyzing the application layer message; and causing a first graph to be rendered by a graphical user interface in a visual association with a second graph representing a number of user login events grouped by a pre-defined period of time, wherein the first graph represents a number of identified failed customer experience errors grouped by the pre-defined period of time.

Abstract: An anvil assembly includes a retaining member having a body portion and a frangible portion connected to the body portion, where the frangible portion is positioned to engage a backup member and separates from the body portion during movement of the backup member from a first, proximal position to a second, distal position. The retaining member keeps the backup plate in the proximal position prior to firing of the stapling assembly, and upon separation of the frangible portion allows the backup plate to move to the distal position during firing of the stapling assembly. Proximal force on the backup plate after firing of the stapling assembly is avoided, thereby helping to ensure titling of the anvil assembly.

Abstract: Systems and methods for visual presentation of metrics reflecting lifecycle events of software artifacts. An example method may comprise: receiving one or more data processing rules, each data processing rule specifying one or more operations to be performed on one or more raw data items reflecting lifecycle events associated with a software artifact; receiving, from one or more data collection agents, a plurality of raw data items; producing, by applying the data processing rules to the plurality of raw data items, a plurality of values of a metric reflecting lifecycle events associated with a plurality of software artifacts; and causing the values to be graphically represented using a graphical user interface (GUI) communicatively coupled to the processor.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cut ring assembly including a backup member, an intermediate member and a cutting ring body. The intermediate member is formed of a thin, rigid material that is sandwiched between the backup member and the cutting ring body. The thin, rigid material is formed of a material having a hardness less than the hardness of the backup member and greater than the hardness of the cutting ring body. The present disclosure also relates to an anvil assembly including such a cut ring assembly.
