The present invention discloses an electronic cigarette including connected first and second bodies. Opposing ends of the first and second stem bodies are respectively provided with matched first and second insertion members making the first and second stem bodies be stably connected with each other. Herein, a side wall of the first insertion member is provided circumferentially with a locking member of which a protrusion end is arc-shaped, while a side wall of the second insertion member is correspondingly provided with a locking groove engaged with the locking member such that the locking member is inserted therein. The locking member is provided on the first stem body and the corresponding locking groove is provided on the second stem body, thus realizing secure connection between the first and second stem bodies, making the structure simple, bringing out convenience in assembling and disassembling process and high stability.

A spine distraction implant alleviates pain associated with spinal stenosis and facet arthropathy by expanding the volume in the spine canal and / or neural foramen. The implant provides a spinal extension stop while allowing freedom of spinal flexion. An interspinous process implant with a selectably expandable spacer can be placed between adjacent spinous processes. a device implanted between the spinous processes of adjacent vertebrae of the spine can be used for relieving pain associated with the vertebrae and surrounding tissues and structures by maintaining and / or adding distraction between adjacent vertebrae. A tissue expander can be adapted to move from a first insertion position, for ease of implantation between spinous processes, to a second retention position that prevents displacement of the implant. An embodiment of a system can include an implant having a spacer with a thickness and a wing, wherein a first configuration of the wing has a first height substantially similar to the thickness and wherein the wing is adapted to be selectably arranged in a second configuration such that the wing has a second height greater than the first height. A periphery of the implant has a shape generally conformal with a shape of an inner surface of a cannula and a cross-sectional diameter smaller than an inner diameter of the cannula. The cannula is inserted such that a proximal end of the cannula is arranged between the adjacent spinous processes. The implant is then urged into position between the adjacent spinous processes by way of the cannula, and subsequently arranged in a second configuration to fix the implant in position.

A separable electrical connector component generally including an insulating housing, a current carrying element disposed within the insulative housing and a voltage control device disposed within the housing. The housing has a mid-section, a first insertion end extending from the mid-section in a first direction, a second insertion end extending from the mid-section in a second direction opposite the first direction and a third section extending outwardly from the mid-section between the first and second insertion ends. The current carrying member extends through the first insertion end, the mid-section and the second insertion end. The voltage control device is disposed within the third section of the housing and is in electrical communication with the current carrying element.

An instrument for an endoscope includes a first insertion portion having an base end to which an operation section is connected; a first offset portion extending outward from an axis of the first insertion portion; a second insertion portion having a base end joined to the first offset portion and an element extending parallel to the axis of the first insertion portion; a second offset portion which is joined to a head of the second insertion portion and reaches an extension of the axis of the first insertion portion; a third insertion portion which is joined to the second offset portion and has a portion arranged on an axis which is substantially the same as at least a part of the axis of the first insertion portion; and an inner hole formed through the first insertion portion, the first offset portion, the second insertion portion, the second offset portion, and the third insertion portion.
