Abstract: A bipolar electrosurgical fusion/sealer and dissector is provided that is arranged to simultaneously fuse and cut tissue captured between jaws of the instrument. The jaws include particularly positioned, shaped and/or oriented electrodes along with a compressible landing pad to perform the simultaneous fusion and cutting of tissue. An electrosurgical generator is arranged to supply RF energy through the instrument and monitors a phase angle of the supplied RF energy and adjusts or terminates the supplied RF energy based on the monitored phase angle to optimally fuse and dissect the tissue.

Abstract: Methods and articles of manufacture for an ordering system using a self-guided customer process are described. The ordering system is used by customers to select, measure, and order window treatments. The system utilizes a consistent ordering checklist that applies through all product categories, thus once a customer becomes familiar with ordering for one Product Category, such as Wood Blinds, ordering for another Product Category, such as Shades, is made easier because the process is consistent. The checklist for each Product Category corresponds to portions of the Order Form, making it easier for the customer to enter accurate information regarding product and design decisions into the Order form. The correspondence between the Product and Design selections is maintained by using numerals and letters (1(A,B,C, and D), 2, 3, and 4). A simplified measuring guide allows customers to take measurements for the appropriate products and enter the information in the Order Form.
