An electrosurgical system comprises a generator and an instrument including a first electrode, a second electrode, and an insulating spacer separating the first and second electrodes. The generator repeatedly measures a characteristic of the radio frequency output such as the impedance between the first and second electrodes. The generator analyses the impedance measurements, and interrupts the radio frequency signal when the rate of change of the impedance is such as to indicate the onset of a “flare-out”. In this way, the power is reduced before the flare-out leads to permanent damage or failure of the instrument.

A medicament dispensing device, a medicament magazine thereof, and a method of removing a medicament from the medicament magazine.

A drive current is produced in the air channel, while a vacuum flow (5′) can be produced by the drive current and a constriction formed in the air channel. This narrowest part of the air channel that produces the vacuum flow is connected to a removal opening (2) which communicates with a control opening (3), in order to form an emptying current through the control opening via the removal opening. In a preferred embodiment the at least one medicament chamber including the control opening, the removal opening and a fill opening are housing in the one-piece medicament magazine.

A technique for imparting direct resistance heating to a gauge length of a conductive metallic specimen under test and which can be used to add an independent dynamic thermal capability to a mechanical material test system. Specifically, a pair of, e.g., conductive collars, each of which encircles and abuts against a corresponding portion of the external surface of the specimen near an opposing end of its gauge length and inward of a corresponding grip. Each collar imparts additional self-resistive heat to the specimen along a circumferential collar / specimen interface. This additional heat appreciably reduces or cancels thermal gradients otherwise arising from self-resistive heating across the gauge length as well as compensates for thermal losses in each specimen end section. Through this arrangement, each specimen end section and the grips are not appreciably heated as the gauge length heats. The amount of additional heat is set by selecting a collar material to have a desired resistivity and also by appropriately dimensioning each collar.
