Lockout mechanism for use with robotic electrosurgical device

TL;DR: In this paper, a robotically controlled surgical tool comprising including a lockout mechanism is provided, where the surgical tool may include an instrument mounting portion and an actuation mechanism to actuate the end effector to provide reciprocating movement of the blade within the channel.

Boiling heat transfer on superhydrophilic, superhydrophobic, and superbiphilic surfaces

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized pool boiling on surfaces with wettabilities varied from superhydrophobic to super-hydrophilic, and provided nucleation measurements, and developed an analytical model that describes how biphilic surfaces effectively manage the vapor and liquid transport, delaying critical heat flux and maximizing the heat transfer coefficient.

Enhanced thermal conductivity and viscosity of copper nanoparticles in ethylene glycol nanofluid

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the thermal conductivity and viscosity of copper nanoparticles in ethylene glycol and found that the measured increase in thermal conductivities was twice the value predicted by the Maxwell effective medium theory.

Performance investigation of an automotive car radiator operated with nanofluid-based coolants (nanofluid as a coolant in a radiator)

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the application of ethylene glycol-based copper nanofluids in an automotive cooling system and found that about 3.8% of heat transfer enhancement could be achieved with the addition of 2% copper particles in a basefluid at the Reynolds number of 6000 and 5000 for air and coolant respectively.
