Abstract: An electrical connection terminal includes a welding part welded to a solder pad of a battery pack cell to be electrically connected to the battery pack cell, a press fitting part pressed into a hole on a battery pack signal acquisition board to be electrically connected to the battery pack signal acquisition board, and an elastic part connected between the welding part and the press fitting part. The press fitting part is elastically floated in a length direction of the electrical connection terminal relative to the welding part.

Abstract: Apparatuses (e.g., devices, systems, etc.) and methods that may provide access to one or more tools to a remote site in the body including expandable and external working channels that may be part of a tube that is coupled to an outer surface of an elongate medical device, such as an endoscope.

Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a source/drain feature over a semiconductor substrate, channel layers over the semiconductor substrate and connected to the source/drain feature, a gate portion between vertically adjacent channel layers, and an inner spacer between the source/drain feature and the gate portion and between adjacent channel layers. The semiconductor device further includes an air gap between the inner spacer and the source/drain feature.

Abstract: Examples of a suture anchor (100) having a non-expandable body (105) and expendable cap (110) are described herein. In response to an axial insertion force that brings the non-expandable body and expendable cap together inside a bone hole, the expendable cap expands radially. This creates a radial force of expansion that advantageously augments an interference fit between the suture anchor and bone hole, which leads to higher fixation strength. Other examples include retention features that inhibit the expendable cap from returning back into its unexpanded state. This advantageously maintains the radial force of expansion against the surrounding pressure of the walls of the bone hole pressing back on the suture.

Abstract: Examples of a suture anchor having a small diameter and having a soft suture bridge or suture eyelet are described herein. The soft suture bridge/suture eyelet allows a repair suture to slide, which is desirable when tying knots. In some cases, the soft suture bridge/suture eyelet itself is made from a length of suture.

Abstract: Described herein are suture anchors systems and methods for installing suture anchor systems in bone. Suture anchor systems described herein include a plurality of annular ribs formed around an elongated cylindrical body, a tip adapted for inserting into a bone, one or more longitudinal channels defined by one or more notches in at least one of the annular ribs, and a transverse bore adapted to receive at least one suture and in communication with the longitudinal channel(s). The suture anchor system is partially inserted into the bone, the sutures are adjusted, and insertion is completed, securing the suture anchor and the suture in the bone.

Abstract: According to a first configuration, a hand tool is configured to include a shaft, a handle disposed at a proximal end of the shaft, and a tubular tip disposed on a hinge at a distal end of the shaft. The tubular tip pivots about the hinge, providing a way to steer a resource to a specific location in a medical site. In accordance with a second configuration, a hand tool includes a flexible section of tube, a flexible sheathing, and a link. The flexible sheathing encases the flexible section of tube. At least a portion of the link resides between an outer surface of the flexible section of tube and an inner surface of the flexible sheathing. One end of the link is affixed to a distal tip of the flexible section of tube. Pulling on the link causes the flexible section of tube to arc.
