An apparatus for accessing the gastric lumen, allowing elaborate intragastric surgeries to be carried on. The apparatus consists of two parts; an external part and a transgastric part. The named external part is a cylinder ending in a larger part of different shapes, the external part will be equipped with a mechanism to allow instruments to get inside the stomach while preventing gas from escaping out. It will also contain a gas delivery port to allow insufflation of the stomach through the cannula. The named transgastric part consists of a cylinder of variable lengths ending in an internal gastric bolster that will be either solid-type or balloon-type. This part is attached to a tapering introduction system ending in a wire loop to be used for introduction of this part. The apparatus also includes an extraction catheter to be used during removal of transgastric part with solid-type gastric bolster.

Electric vitrectomy handpieces are provided. The handpiece includes a motor, a clutch mechanism, an oscillating drive mechanism, a cutting tip and a handle. The motor is attached to the clutch, and the clutch is attached to the oscillating drive mechanism. When the motor is operational, the clutch expands to engage the oscillating drive mechanism and the oscillating drive mechanism converts the rotational motion of the clutch to the reciprocating motion of the cutting tip. When the motor is at rest, the clutch retracts to allow aspiration.

Battery exchange system for a battery-driven industrial truck, in which the chassis of the industrial truck comprises a battery compartment open to the side of the industrial truck for side installation and removal of a battery container, on the battery container on at least two opposing sides at least one respective laterally projecting support element being attached with a downwardly facing bearing surface and the battery compartment on opposing sides comprising horizontal support surfaces spaced apart from one another in parallel on which the support elements are supported with their bearing surfaces, when the battery container is inserted into the battery compartment.

Fastening devices are provided that are designed to effectively close tissue as well as instruments for applying the inventive fastening devices. The devices are useful for closing tissue such as mucosa in the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx, laryngeal surfaces, oronasopharynx, or other mucosal tissues. In particular, uvulopalatopharyngoplasty (UPPP), uvulopalatal flap (UPF) technique, and tonsillectomy can be assisted using the inventive system. Embodiments also provide methods of using the fastening devices and/or instruments, and kits including the fastening devices.

Consumers of content protected multimedia data, such as e.g. commercially available video DVDS, want to take backup copies of these data, and want to be free to play the data on any suitable playback device, while content providers want to protect these data against pirate copying. The disclosed method for accessing application data from a first storage medium, e.g. CD, uses an electronic key for decoding or converting the application data. One or more content identifiers are attached to the application data or the first storage medium. The key is stored on a copy-protected separate second storage medium, e.g. RFID tag, and compared with the content identifier. Playback or format conversion of the application data is only possible when the second storage medium is available. This allows the application data to be copied, distributed or format converted, while simultaneously preserving the content rights of the data because only one copy can be used at a time.

The liposuction apparatus (1) comprises in combination a tubular canula (3) having at its distal extremity (18) one or more suction orifices (24) and connected at its proximate extremity (19) to a suction source (14) in communication with these orifices, and a hand piece (2) delivering a spray of working liquid (4) under pressure. The hand piece delivers the spray of liquid under pressure using a conduit opening into an ejection orifice which, when the canula is attached to the hand piece, is located opposite an ejection orifice in the canula located at its distal extremity. A liposuction method using the apparatus is also taught. This invention is of interest to manufacturers and users of surgical equipment.

A hand-held power tool includes a spring-mounted decoupling device (16) for supporting a tool handle (14) on the tool housing (4) and having a first spring-mounted support (18) and a second spring-mounted support (20) that is spaced from the operational axis (A) in a second direction (y) perpendicular to the first direction (z) further away than the first spring-mounted support (18) that has a smaller spring stiffness along the second direction (y) than along the first direction (z).

The invention relates to an immobilization device (5) for locking a furniture part (2) that is movably supported in or on a piece of furniture (1), particularly a drawer, in a closed end position (E), comprising at least one locking element (6), which has a receiving element (7) for an engagement element (8), wherein the receiving element (7) or the engagement element (8) is disposed on the piece of furniture (1) and the other element is disposed on the movable furniture part (2), and the two elements are operatively connected at least in the closed end position (E) of the movable furniture part (2), wherein the relative position of the receiving element (7) to the engagement element (8) in the depth of the piece of furniture (1) can be varied in a linear fashion by means of an adjusting unit (9), which is configured to convert a rotational movement into a translatory movement.

A sleeve is disclosed having a unique arch-like shape that facilitates manufacturing material efficiency and therefore reduces material costs and environmental waste. A blank for a sleeve and a method of making a sleeve are also disclosed. The sleeve, when unassembled and laid flat, is a blank with top and bottom edges. The top and bottom edges have an arch-like formation created by peaks and troughs.

The invention relates to a detector device (1) for a gear shift of a motor vehicle, particularly of a commercial vehicle. A display (4) is further disposed on a console (2) having a shift lever (3) disposed thereon. Said display serves to display shift states of the transmission and/or warning messages. The display (4) further comprises touch-sensitive elements (7, 8, 9) in addition to display elements (5, 6). The driver can thereby input further commands directly into the display (4), in addition to actuating the shift lever (3).

An interdental treatment device, such as a toothbrush, includes a handle configured to accommodate an electric power source, a head carrying an interdental treatment tool, and a neck between the handle and the head. The head or neck includes a mechanical motorized vibratory device, including a drive which causes the head to vibrate. Electrical connections are operably connected to the mechanical vibratory device and the electric power source to power the mechanical vibratory device via the electrical connections. In various embodiments, a switch may be operably connected to at least one of the electrical connections to interrupt power from the power source to the mechanical motorized vibratory device. In various embodiments, a vibration-damping structure dampens vibration transmission from the head to the handle.

A cover (20) for a computer mouse (1) having a first section (24A) for covering a first mouse button (12A), a second section (24B) for covering a second mouse button (12B), and a third section (23) for covering the main body (11). The cover may be made from natural or synthetic fabric or material, animal skins, furs or hides, may be woven or non-woven, may be smooth, furry, rough, textured, stippled, may be made in any desired color, colors, pattern or patterns, pictures, photographs, and logos. An adhesive (31) secures the cover to the mouse and the cover may be treated with an antibacterial or other agent to retard the growth of undesired organisms.

A portable hand-held power tool (2), especially in the form of a drilling or chisel hammer, includes a drive assembly (8) located in the tool housing (10) for driving a tool spindle (4) along an operational axis (A), a first handle (16) which is rotatable around a first pivotal axis (S1) by a first handle suspension (22), a second handle (20) located on the opposite sides (14.1, 14.2) of the housing which is rotatable around a second pivotal axis (S2) by a second handle suspension (24), and spring elements for retaining the handles (16, 20) in their initial position, with the first and second handle suspensions (22, 24) extending partially circumferentially about the drive assembly (8).
