1. A method for determining a measuring point of a hybrid decoupler of a hybrid vehicle, which is operated by a hydrostatic clutch actuator, said hybrid decoupler coupling or decoupling an internal combustion engine and an electro-traction drive, the method comprising determining the measuring point by slow operation of the hybrid decoupler, starting from a position of the hybrid decoupler that is assumed in the idle state, detecting a defined increase in torque at the electro-traction drive, and then adapting the measuring point to the running internal combustion engine and the stationary electro-traction drive.
2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the electro-traction drive is speed-controlled when stationary.
3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the internal combustion engine is operated at an idling speed.
4. The method according to claim 1, wherein during the adaption of the measuring point, the internal combustion engine is decoupled from the drivetrain.
5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the measuring point is adapted during operation of the hybrid vehicle.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A surgical stapling apparatus, comprising:
a staple holder;
an anvil pivotally coupled to said staple holder;
a bias member deposed between said staple holder and said anvil, wherein said bias member allows said staple holder and said anvil to be pivotally biased open or to be pivotally biased close; and
an overtube slidably engages with at least a portion of said staple holder and said anvil, wherein:
the overtube slidably engages with said staple holder and said anvil in a first position causing no gap or substantially no space between the staple holder and the anvil,
the overtube slidably engages with said staple holder and said anvil in a second position allowing a first gap or a first space between the staple holder and the anvil, and
the overtube slidably engages with said staple holder and said anvil in a third position allowing a second gap or a second space between the staple holder and the anvil.
2. The surgical stapling apparatus of claim 1, wherein the first gap or the first space is larger than the second gap or the second space.
3. The surgical stapling apparatus of claim 1, wherein the overtube include a pair of through-slots and an axle-pin deposed through said pair of through-slots, the axle-pin engages at least a portion of the anvil.
4. The surgical stapling apparatus of claim 1, wherein a proximal portion of the anvil includes a ramp feature, wherein the ramp feature engages with said overtube as the overtube slidably engages with the staple holder and the anvil.
5. The surgical stapling apparatus of claim 4, wherein engagement of said overtube with said ramp feature changes a gap distance or a gap space between said staple holder and said anvil.
6. The surgical stapling apparatus of claim 3, wherein the axle-pin is positioned in a substantially bottom-most position in the pair of through-slots of the overtube when the overtube in is the first position and no gap or substantially no space is between the staple holder and the anvil.
7. The surgical stapling apparatus of claim 3, wherein the axle-pin is positioned in a substantially top-most position or a position substantially between the top-most and the bottom-most position in the pair of through-slots of the overtube when the overtube in is the second position and the first gap or the first space is between the staple holder and the anvil.
8. The surgical stapling apparatus of claim 3, wherein the axle-pin is positioned in a substantially top-most position or a position substantially between the top-most and the bottom-most position in the pair of through-slots of the overtube when the overtube in is the third position and the second gap or the second space is between the staple holder and the anvil.
9. The surgical stapling apparatus of claim 1, wherein an outer-perimeter of a portion of the staple holder and the anvil combination fits within an inner-perimeter of the overtube.
