Surgical instrument including a handle system for advancing a cutting member

A surgical instrument comprising a handle system, an elongate shaft assembly, and an end effector extending from the elongate shaft assembly is disclosed. The elongate shaft assembly comprises a first drive member and a second drive member. The end effector comprises an elongate channel configured to support a staple cartridge therein, an anvil movably coupled to the elongate channel, and a cutting member. When the handle system is engaged with the first drive member, a first actuation of the handle system advances the cutting member a first distance. When the handle system is engaged with the second drive member, a second actuation of the handle system moves the cutting member a second distance. The second distance is greater than the first distance.

Method of depositing material onto a surface and structure formed according to the method

Methods of depositing material on a surface of a substrate are disclosed. The methods include exposing a surface of the substrate to a precursor within a reaction chamber to form adsorbed species on the surface and removing at least a portion of the adsorbed species prior to introducing a reactant to the reaction chamber.

Chemical source vessel with dip tube

A chemical vessel is disclosed comprising a dip tube and a level sensor tube arranged in an elongated counterbore incorporated into a housing of the chemical vessel. The chemical vessel may be configured to allow a pushback routine to take place, whereby a level of liquid in the chemical vessel is reduced to a point that the dip tube is free from liquid inside the dip tube or at the bottom of the dip tube. Once the dip tube is free of the liquid, then a vacuum source may be used to purge vapor within the chemical vessel without the risk of damage to the vacuum source.

DIAPHRAGM VALVES, VALVE COMPONENTS, AND METHODS FOR FORMING VALVE COMPONENTS

A diaphragm valve is disclosed. The diaphragm valve may include, a valve body comprising a valve channel, the valve channel including an inlet channel and an outlet channel. The diaphragm valve may also include, a valve seat adjacent to the valve channel and a flexible diaphragm comprising a wetted surface and an opposing non-wetted surface, the flexible diaphragm being disposed adjacent to the valve channel. The diaphragm valve may also include, a flexible heater disposed over the non-wetted surface of the flexible diaphragm, and a valve actuator that is operable to operable to move the wetted surface of the flexible diaphragm into and out of contact with the valve seat. Valve components including a flexible heater and methods for forming such valve components are also disclosed.

Data processing systems for verification of consent and notice processing and related methods

A method for managing a consent receipt under an electronic transaction, comprising: receiving a request to initiate a transaction between the entity and the data subject; providing a privacy policy associated with the entity and based at least in part on the request to initiate the transaction between the entity and the data subject; accessing the privacy policy associated with the entity; storing one or more provisions of the privacy policy associated with the entity; providing a user interface for consenting to the privacy policy associated with the entity; receiving a selection to consent to the privacy policy associated with the entity and based at least in part on the request to initiate the transaction between the entity and the data subject; generating, by a third-party consent receipt management system, a consent receipt to the data subject; and storing the generated consent receipt.

System and method for URL fetching retry mechanism

A method for overcoming intermittent, temporary, or other fetching failures by using multiple attempts for retrieving a content from a web server to a client device is disclosed. The URL fetching may use direct or non-direct fetching schemes, or a combination thereof. The non-direct fetching method may use intermediate devices, such as proxy server, Data-Center proxy server, tunnel devices, or any combination thereof. Upon sensing a failure of a fetching action, the action is repeated using the same or different parameters or attributes, such as by using different intermediate devices, selected based on different parameters or attributes, such as different countries. The repetitions are limited to a pre-defined maximum number or attempts. The fetching attempts may be performed by the client device, by an intermediate device in a non-direct fetching scheme, or a combination thereof. Various fetching schemes may be used sequentially until the content is retrieved.

User configurable task triggers

Systems and processes for user configurable task triggers are provided. In one example, at least one user input, including a selection of at least one condition of a plurality of conditions and a selection of at least one task of a plurality of tasks, is received. Stored context data corresponding to an electronic device is received. A determination is whether the stored context data indicates an occurrence of the at least one selected condition. In response to determining that the stored context data indicates an occurrence of the at least one selected condition, the at least one selected task associated with the at least one selected condition is performed.

Spoken notifications

An example method includes, at an electronic device: receiving an indication of a notification; in accordance with receiving the indication of the notification: obtaining one or more data streams from one or more sensors; determining, based on the one or more data streams, whether a user associated with the electronic device is speaking; and in accordance with a determination that the user is not speaking: causing an output associated with the notification to be provided.

Reducing digital assistant latency when a language is incorrectly determined

Systems and processes for operating an intelligent automated assistant are provided. An example process includes causing a first recognition result for a received natural language speech input to be displayed, where the first recognition result is in a first language and a second recognition result for the received natural language speech input is available for display responsive to receiving input indicative of user selection of the first recognition result, the second recognition result being in a second language. The example process further includes receiving the input indicative of user selection of the first recognition result and in response to receiving the input indicative of user selection of the first recognition result, causing the second recognition result to be displayed.

Interpreting spoken requests

In an exemplary process for interpreting spoken requests, audio input containing a user utterance is received. In accordance with a determination that a text representation of the user utterance does not exactly match any of a plurality of user-defined invocation phrases, the process determines whether a comparison between the text representation and a user-defined invocation phrase of the plurality of user-defined invocation phrases satisfies one or more rule-based conditions. In accordance with a determination that the comparison between the text representation and the user-defined invocation phrase satisfies the one or more rule-based conditions, the text representation and the user-defined invocation phrase is processed using a machine-learned model to determine a score representing a degree of semantic equivalence between the text representation and the user-defined invocation phrase. In accordance with a determination that the score satisfies a threshold condition, a predefined task corresponding to the user-defined invocation phrase is performed.
