A medical instrument for engaging tissue includes a flexible shaft, a tissue piercing coil at a distal portion of the shaft, and a tissue stabilizer positioned over the shaft and biased in a distal direction such that as the tissue piercing coil enters tissue, the tissue stabilizer is urged against a surface of the tissue. A medical instrument for reconfiguring tissue includes a flexible shaft defining a lumen housing actuating controls, and a distal actuating assembly with a sealing portion configured to substantially seal the shaft lumen from contact with bodily fluids. A cartridge assembly includes first and second members configured for releasable attachment to a medical instrument, and a holder configured to receive the first and second members and to be released from the first and second members upon action of the first and second members attaching to the medical instrument.

Tissue reconfiguration

A method includes advancing an apparatus having an elongated member transorally into the stomach. The apparatus includes a distal end effector having first and second members configured to engage tissue. The first and second members are movable relatively toward one another generally in a first plane. The method includes moving the distal end effector relative to the elongated member in the first plane such that the distal end effector is retroflexed out of alignment with the elongated member to position the first and second members for engagement with the tissue. At least one of the first and second members carries a fixation device for fixing engaged portions of tissue together.

Modular computer

A computer system module assembly has modular equipment enclosures slidable and securable in a modular exoskeletal frame structure on a base. The frame structure includes horizontal frame members on which the enclosures slide with pawls movable on a threaded rod to engage studs on the enclosures to clamp the enclosure to the frame. Air cooling units in the enclosures provide independent cooling for each enclosure, moving air preferably from front to back of the enclosures, through perforated frame doors.

Computer system module assembly

In a loudspeaker system having eight drivers on a baffle, the baffle has two port openings centered in respective squares embracing respective groups of four drivers. A tubular column extender snaps into each port opening and has a snap cap for detachably securing a polyester disk over the opening. A grill formed with two openings for accomodating the column extenders covers the drivers. A grill retainer formed with openings at each end for accomodating the column extenders abuts the grill, and clinch nuts screws on the threaded end of ach column extender to keep the grill retainer against the grill with the grill against the front baffle.
