Abstract:
A vortex flowmeter in which the vortex-shedder and the vortex sensor comprise two distinct, easily separable assemblies that may be readily removed and/or assembled from the interior of a flow conduit. The sensor is housed in a body fixedly suspended within the conduit by an integrally connected support structure extending outwardly through an opening in the conduit wall. The shedder comprises a blunt front face extending across the interior of the conduit for producing vortices and a bar-member joined to the front face and extending downstream therefrom defining an area for detecting the vortices. The bar-member is formed with a lateral recess that matches the pattern of the sensor and support structure such that when the shedder is positioned to engage the sensor, the overall bar-member configuration is preserved to assure good measurement results. Outside of the conduit, the support structure is securely fastened to the conduit so as to firmly hold the sensor within the shaped recess. There is also disclosed means for properly locating the position of the front face with respect to the direction of flow during assembly of the flowmeter.

Abstract:
A knife configured for use with an electrosurgical forceps having curved jaw members and a method of manufacturing the same. The knife includes a distal body having an inner side and an outer side, a first etching on the outer side of the distal body defining a distal cutting edge and a second etching on the outer side of the distal body extending along a portion of a length of the distal body to define relatively protruded and relatively recessed surfaces extending along a portion of the length of the distal body on the outer side thereof.
