20150320437 | METHOD OF OPERATING AN ARTICULATING ULTRASONIC SURGICAL INSTRUMENT - An apparatus comprises a body assembly, a shaft, an acoustic waveguide, an articulation section, an end effector, and an articulation drive assembly. The shaft extends distally from the body assembly and defines a longitudinal axis. The acoustic waveguide comprises a flexible portion. The articulation section is coupled with the shaft. A portion of the articulation section encompasses the flexible portion of the waveguide. The articulation section comprises a plurality of body portions aligned along the longitudinal axis and a flexible locking member. The flexible locking member is operable to secure the body portions in relation to each other and in relation to the shaft. The end effector comprises an ultrasonic blade in acoustic communication with the waveguide. The articulation drive assembly is operable to drive articulation of the articulation section to thereby deflect the end effector from the longitudinal axis. | 11-12-2015 |

20150360023 | LEADS WITH ELECTRODE CARRIERS FOR SEGMENTED ELECTRODES AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING - A stimulation lead includes an electrode carrier disposed along a distal portion of a lead body. The electrode carrier defines multiple segmented-electrode-receiving apertures extending between an outer surface and a central lumen. Each of the segmented-electrode-receiving apertures includes a ledge disposed around a perimeter of that segmented-electrode-receiving aperture and inset from the outer surface of the electrode carrier. The stimulation lead also includes multiple segmented electrodes, with each of the segmented electrode disposed in a different one of the segmented-electrode-receiving apertures with an outer stimulation surface exposed through the segmented-electrode-receiving aperture and an inner surface abutting the ledge disposed around the perimeter of that segmented-electrode-receiving aperture. Conductive wires extend along the lead body and couple the segmented electrodes to terminals. | 12-17-2015 |

20150021951 | COOLING ARRANGEMENT AND METHOD FOR COOLING AN UNDERSIDE VEHICLE COMPONENT - An underside cooling arrangement and method for a vehicle includes an underside component mounted to the underside of the vehicle, and an airflow directing member that directs airflow generated when the vehicle is moving in a forward direction to a location rearward of the underside component. The airflow that is directed to the location rearward of the underside component creates a vacuum that draws an auxiliary airflow near the underside component for cooling thereof. | 01-22-2015 |
20150041229 | FRONT END ARRANGEMENT WITH ACTIVE RADIATOR DAMPER AND ACTIVE RADIATOR CONTROL METHOD - A front end arrangement and airflow control method for a vehicle includes a radiator disposed in an engine compartment of the vehicle and a damper disposed below the radiator for selectively controlling recirculation through the radiator. The damper is movable between an open position wherein airflow from behind the radiator recirculates by passing forwardly under the radiator and again through the radiator, and a closed position wherein the airflow from behind the radiator is substantially prevented from passing forwardly under the radiator and recirculating through the radiator. | 02-12-2015 |

20150087974 | PATIENT-SPECIFIC ANALYSIS OF POSITRON EMISSION TOMOGRAPHY DATA - Systems and methods are provided for evaluating tissue for abnormal glucose uptake within a region of interest within a patient. A PET scanner obtains PET imagery including the region of interest and at least part of the liver. An SUV calculator calculates a first set of SUVs representing the region of interest and a second set SUVs representing the liver from the set of at least one PET image. A standardization component calculates a correction value as a function of the second set of SUVs and applies the correction value to either a decision threshold associated with the region of interest or the first set of SUVs. A diagnosis component compares the first set of SUVs to the decision threshold to determine if the glucose uptake within the region of interest is abnormal. A display provides the determination to a user. | 03-26-2015 |
