Abstract: A cycle counter mechanism is provided for monitoring the service life of layup molds, such as a mold used for the manufacturing of parts in an autoclave oven. A body that is suitable for use in the autoclave oven is located on the mold. At least one rod is located on the body which elongates and contracts due to heat. At least one gear is located on the body so as to rotate about its own axis and which extends when the heat in the autoclave oven increases to trigger the gear. A gear is triggered by the rod to rotate about its own axis. A counter is triggered with the rotational movement of the gear and provides information about the number of uses of the mold depending on the rotational movement.

Abstract: An end effector for use with a surgical stapling instrument is disclosed. The end effector comprises a first jaw, a second jaw movable relative to the first jaw to grasp tissue therebetween, and a staple cartridge. The staple cartridge comprises staples deployable into the tissue. The end effector further comprises a magnetic sensor configured to measure a parameter indicative of an identifying characteristic of the staple cartridge, an impedance sensor configured to measure a parameter indicative of an impedance of the tissue, and a processing unit in communication with the impedance sensor. The processing unit is configured to determine a property of the tissue based on an output of the impedance sensor.

Abstract: Systems, devices, and methods are operable to track usage of a surgical instrument and modify the performance of the surgical instrument based on the prior usage of the surgical instrument. Some surgical instruments are designed to have a limited service life beginning at their first use, or a limit to their overall usage in order to ensure safe use of the sensitive instruments. However, a lack of ability to track usage characteristics when the instrument is separated from an external power supply allows for user abuse and avoidance of such safety mechanisms. Adding a battery or capacitor to the instrument may allow for an ability to track usage when the instrument is separated from an external power supply. Implementing special user prompts, device use ratios, and device use half-life upon powering down of an instrument may additionally be used to prevent circumvention of safety features.
