The present invention provides devices and methods for attachment of an implanted device, such as an artificial stoma device, a gastrointestinal sleeve device or an attachment cuff, within a patient's digestive tract for treatment of obesity. Special surgical fasteners provide a lasting and durable attachment to the gastrointestinal tissue without causing excessive pressure that could result in tissue erosion and detachment of the implanted device. Fastener delivery devices that facilitate peroral placement and deployment of fasteners and secondary devices are also provided. Also described are implantable devices and attachment means that avoid causing excessive pressure within the tissue by having compliance that is compatible with the gastrointestinal tissues where it is attached.

Suturing systems may comprise a cartridge and a drive unit which are detachable from each other. The cartridge often has a cartridge body, a plurality of jaws, and a cartridge interface. The drive unit has a drive unit body, a linkage, and a drive unit interface which will typically include a latch. A latch input is coupled to the latch so that a movement of the input moves the latch to the released position. The cartridge interface or the drive unit interface includes a channel while the other includes a shaft which is fittingly receivable in the channel. Opposed motions of the input and cartridge during cartridge removal avoid inadvertent detachment during use.

To provide a substrate processing apparatus, comprising: a reaction vessel having a processing chamber inside that processes a substrate; a heating device that heats said substrate from an outer peripheral side of the reaction vessel; a lid member that closes the processing chamber; an attachment / detachment jig placed on the lid member for attaching / detaching the reaction vessel from an inside of the heating device; and a support section provided in an upper side of a lower end of the reaction vessel on an inside wall of the reaction vessel, and abutted on an upper surface of the attachment / detachment jig for attaching / detaching the reaction vessel from the inside of the heating device.

Methods for transferring a useful layer of silicon carbide to a receiving substrate are described. In an embodiment, the invention relates to a method for recycling of a silicon carbide source substrate by removal of the excess zone followed by a finishing step to prepare the source substrate for recycling and reuse. Preferably, the excess zone is removed by a thermal budget where the temperature and time of such treatment causes exfoliation of the excess zone. The finishing step is performed in a manner to provide the desired surface roughness for the substrate so that it can be recycled for re-use. The technique includes implanting at least H+ ions through a front face of a source substrate of silicon carbide with an implantation energy E greater than or equal to 95 keV and an implantation dose D chosen to form an optimal weakened zone near a mean implantation depth, the optimal weakened zone defining the useful layer and a remainder portion of the source substrate. The method also includes bonding the front face of the source substrate to a contact face of the receiving substrate, and detaching the useful layer from the remainder portion of the source substrate along the weakened zone while minimizing or avoiding forming an excess zone of silicon carbide material at the periphery of the useful layer that was not transferred to the receiving substrate during detachment.

A toner container detachably attached to a toner-container holder of a main body of an image forming apparatus includes a container body that includes an opening, and discharges toner contained in the container body, from the opening; and a held portion that is held by the toner-container holder in a non-rotating manner. The held portion includes an open / close member for opening / closing the toner outlet in synchronization with an attachment / detachment operation of the held portion to / from the toner-container holder.

The invention provides a locking device and an electric automobile. The locking device comprises lock bases, a lock connecting rod and lock shafts, wherein each lock base is used for providing a point to be locked and comprises a lock body; a lock groove which is concave toward the inner part of the corresponding lock body is arranged on one face of the corresponding lock body; each lock body is internally provided with a lock tongue groove and a lock tongue which is movably mounted in the lock tongue groove; the lock tongue grooves are communicated with the lock grooves; the lock connecting rod is movably connected with the lock bases through the lock tongues and comprises a rod part; the rod part drives the lock tongues to move in the lock tongue grooves under the action of an external force; each lock shaft comprises a shaft seat and a shaft rod; and the shaft rods are vertically arranged on the surfaces of the shaft seats, and the shaft rods are inserted into the lock grooves of the lock bases and are used for locking. According to the locking device and the electric automobile, the plurality of lock shafts, which are distributed at a side edge of a battery, are utilized and are inserted into the plurality of lock bases located on the electric automobile, so that the battery is fixed on the electric automobile; and the plurality of lock shafts can be automatically locked by the lock bases at the same time through utilizing the movement of the lock connecting rod, so that the installation efficiency and detachment efficiency of the battery are greatly improved.

A catheter system utilizing one or more sensors is described. The catheter can be used as part of an embolic coil system, guidewire system, or combined embolic coil / guidewire system where the devices interact with the catheter system. A variable detachment embolic coil system and guidewire system are also described.

A rifle having a receiver with an integral hand guard and a barrel. The barrel is connected to the receiver. The hand guard extends over and surrounds the barrel. A removable hand guard is attached to the receiver by an attachment that stably holds the removable hand guard to the receiver. The attachment is arranged for allowing detachment and removal of the removable hand guard from the receiver without removal of fasteners.

An implantable medical device detachment system is provided with a carrier member having a compressible portion at a distal end thereof. The compressible portion is moved to a compressed condition to allow an engagement member of the system to releasably engage an implantable device, such as an embolic coil. The carrier member and associated implantable device are fed through a body vessel to a target location, where the device is disengaged from the engagement member. The compressible portion then moves from the compressed condition to an elongated condition to completely separate the implantable device from the engagement member.

A bowstring drawing device for a crossbow has a mounting base, a reeling device and a hook. The mounting base has a rail. The reeling device has a casing with a bottom face and a rail recess defined in the bottom face of the casing to slidably engage with the rail of the mounting base. A wheel assembly is accommodated inside the casing and a crank arm connected to drive the wheel assembly. A clutch is operationally connected to the wheel assembly. The hook is retractably connected to the reeling device by a string. Because the reeling device and the mounting base are engaged with the rail and rail recess, detachment or engagement of the reeling device is convenient. Moreover, the crank arm and the wheel assembly also make the operation of the bowstring drawing device effort-saving.
