The Impact of Endoscopic Linear Stapling Device Stability in Thoracic Surgery: A Delphi Panel Approach by Daniel Miller, Diego Gonzalez Rivas, Kellie L. Meyer, Ryan S. Clark, Tadasu Kohno

“…Panelists unanimously agreed that: 1) an endoscopic linear stapling device with improved stability would result in less stress/concern for critical firings, surgeries where a fellow is trained, and robot-assisted surgeries requiring an assistant; 2) reduced unintentional tissue/structure damage and reduced tension on tissue being fired upon may result from use of an endoscopic linear stapling device that provides improvement in stability; and 3) endoscopic linear stapling device stability had more clinical importance in video-assisted thoracic surgery compared to open thoracic surgery…”

Choice of Modulation Mode and Satellite-Based Radar Altimeter Parameters by D. S. Borovitsky, A. E. Zhesterev, V. P. Ipatov, R. M. Mamchur

“…However, modern circuitry capabilities allow to implement digital processing of the signals with the bandwidth of hundreds MHz, giving thereby the way to involving BPSK signals which are not that susceptible to various drifts and external disturbances, do not require frequency modulation super-linearity, etc. In the paper both modulation formats are compared and recommendations are given on how to choose the structure and parameters of BPSK signal.…”
