Abstract: IT asset discovery services and external attack surface management (or EASM) services identify computers, servers, smartphones, and other devices that are exposed to the public Internet. Any device that can connect to the public Internet may be vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks. The services identify a device exposed to the public Internet by generating an asset inventory discovery graph. Graphical nodes describe asset inventory investigative records, and edges between the graphical nodes describe asset inventory investigative methods. The nodes thus capture asset investigatory details (such as website URL, IP addresses, and HTML content), and the edges capture how the asset investigatory details were discovered (such as Internet searches, DNS records, and WHOIS records). The services use the asset inventory discovery graph to identify an entity's Internet-facing assets.

Abstract: A tissue removal apparatus (20) is provided that includes a retrieval bag (30) having an opening (32) for receiving a resected tissue specimen (22) within a patient's body (24). An electrosurgical slicing wire (34) includes a slicing segment (36) detachably coupled to a wall (38) of the retrieval bag (30), and a pulling segment (40) free of the wall (38) and extending out of the opening (32). The slicing segment (36) winds around a central longitudinal axis (46) of the retrieval bag (30) at varying locations along the central longitudinal axis (46). Pulling the pulling segment (40), during application of RF electrosurgical power when the resected tissue specimen (22) is within the retrieval bag (30), detaches successive longitudinal portions of the slicing segment (36) from the wall (38) and slices the resected tissue specimen (22) within the retrieval bag (30). Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: A cloud-based, external attack surface management (or EASM) service identifies computers, servers, smartphones, and other devices that are exposed to the public Internet. Any device that can connect to the public Internet may be vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks. The EASM service identifies a device exposed to the public Internet by comparing connection notifications to an address scan of the entire Internet. The connection notifications are sent by cybersecurity sensory agents installed at client devices. When a connection notification and the address scan of the entire Internet references a matching IP address and/or a matching port within a timeframe, the corresponding device is identified as being exposed to the public Internet.

Abstract: Apparatus is described including a tool, the tool including a shaft having a distal portion that is sized and shaped to be inserted into a subject during a surgical procedure. The tool includes a tissue-treatment tip, at the distal portion, that defines a beam deflector. An optical fiber is positioned to emit laser energy into the beam deflector. The beam deflector has a deflector surface, a first portion of which is shaped and positioned to reflect the laser energy toward a tissue-treatment tip surface, and a second portion of which is configured to absorb the laser energy and thermally conduct the absorbed energy to the tissue-treatment tip surface. The tissue-treatment tip surface is configured to thermally conduct the absorbed energy to the tissue by contacting the tissue. Other embodiments are also described.

Abstract: Apparatus comprises: (a) a longitudinal member (32), having a distal portion (34); (b) a plurality of electrodes (38) disposed on the distal portion of the longitudinal member, such that a first electrode (38a) of the plurality of electrodes is disposed distally along the longitudinal member from a second electrode (38b) of the plurality of electrodes; and (c) a controller (40). The controller comprises an actuator, and circuitry (42) electrically connected to the electrodes via the longitudinal member. The actuator is configured to move the longitudinal member in discrete incremental movements such that for each incremental movement, (i) before the incremental movement the first electrode is disposed in a starting position, (ii) during each incremental movement the actuator moves second electrode toward the starting position, and (iii) at the end of each incremental movement the second electrode is stationary at the starting position.

Abstract: A tool has a handle and an elongate shaft that extends distally from the handle. A distal portion of the shaft is inserted into a subject during a surgical procedure. An optical fiber delivers laser energy to a tip at the distal portion of the shaft. The tip includes a mechanical cutting mechanism including a moving part that absorbs the laser energy, thermally conducts the absorbed energy to tissue that is disposed between the moving part and another part, and moves with respect to the other part in order to cut tissue that is disposed between the parts using a mechanical force that is lower than a mechanical force that would be required to cut the tissue in the absence of the laser energy. Other embodiments are also described.
