Surgical stapling instrument incorporating a multi-stroke firing mechanism with return spring rotary manual retraction system
ActiveUS7143926B2Preventing situationSuture equipmentsStapling toolsSurgical stapleEndoscopic surgery
A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic procedures incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end effector. In particular, the handle produces multiple firing strokes in order to reduce the required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. A linked transmission reduces the required handle longitudinal length, yet achieves a rigid, strong configuration when straightened for firing. A traction biased firing mechanism avoids binding in driving this straightened linked rack in cooperation with an anti-backup mechanism, with a lockout mechanism that prevents releasing the closure trigger during firing. Furthermore, an external indicator gives feedback to the surgeon as to how far firing has progressed, as well as providing a manual retraction capability.

The amount of data in an image file transmitted to a cellular telephone is reduced. To achieve this, the colors of pixels constituting an image represented by image data are specified by a color palette table. Color palettes representing colors that do not appear in the image are deleted from the color palette table. Since the amount of data in the color palette table contained in the image file is reduced, so is the amount of image data in the image file.

A method for handling an incoming call in a screen lock state, a communication device and a recording medium thereof are provided. In the present method, when a communication device in a screen lock state receives an incoming call, the communication device exits the screen lock state and displays an incoming call frame. Then, the incoming call is handled according to an input instruction. After the completion of a handling of the incoming call, an idle time of the communication device that receives no operation is counted. When the idle time reaches a predefined value, the communication device returns to the screen lock state. As a result, a user may conveniently inspect and handle the incoming call even if the communication device is in the screen lock state.
