W. Thompson Lawrence - Lexington MA

Assignee:

Ethicon, Inc. - Somerville NJ

International Classification:

A61B 17115

US Classification:

227179

Abstract:

A surgical stapling instrument for performing a circular anastomosis stapling operation is provided. The surgical instrument includes a stapling head assembly mounted by a flexible support shaft to an actuator handle assembly. The support shaft is capable of bending in any radial direction relative to its centerline into a curved configuration suitable for insertion into a patient. The flexible support shaft includes a dual coil structure which is adapted to support itself in any curved configuration and to resist deflection upon insertion into the patient and actuation of the stapling head assembly. The stapling head assembly includes a driver assembly which is operable in multiple stages to separate the staple forming and tissue cutting actions to reduce the peak force required to operate the instrument. The actuator handle assembly includes a staple actuating lever and a cam follower assembly which operate in two stages with different mechanical advantages to facilitate the operation of the instrument by a surgeon. The actuator handle assembly includes a thumb wheel for opening and closing the anvil and an adjusting knob for adjusting the anvil gap.

International Classification:

H02T 700

US Classification:

320 2

Abstract:

A battery charger having a night light is described for use with a cordless telephone. The battery charger is energized by being plugged into a standard AC outlet and includes a cradle for receiving a cordless telephone handset having rechargeable batteries. The battery charger includes a phototransistor for detecting the level of light impinging on the battery charger and a lamp for providing illumination. When AC power is cut off and the phototransistor detects that the light level is below a predetermined level, the lamp is powered by the handset battery to provide illumination and to enable a user to locate the handset during low light conditions while it is being charged.

International Classification:

H04N 718

US Classification:

348159

Abstract:

A video recording system comprises a method and apparatus provided for video recording remotely-generated images at a central, predetermined location. The system includes a plurality of video cameras fixedly or variably positioned at a plurality of fixed or variable locations remote from a conveniently-located viewstation having a plurality of television monitors and associated video camera jacks. The images gathered by the video cameras are continuously or intermittently displayed at one or more of the television monitors, so that a user having a video camera can connect the video camera to a video camera jack and independently record the image selected. For example, when the plurality of video cameras are positioned along a roller coaster path, the video camera can record a plurality of sequences of the roller coaster at spaced locations along the path.
