Disclosed herein is a novel pivot pin assembly for pivotally attaching nozzle tips to stationary nozzles in a solid fuel furnace. The pivot pin assemblies allow rapid replacement of the nozzle tips The pivot pin assembly employs fasteners that or recessed or have an aerodynamically shaped head The head includes a leading edge and optionally a trailing edge that are aerodynamically shaped to reduce corrosion and erosion. The pivot pin assembly pivotally attaches the nozzle tip to the stationary nozzle It employs fasteners that are accessible from a furnace side through a central opening of the nozzle tip This allows removal of the nozzle tip from inside the furnace greatly simplifying nozzle tip replacement.

Disclosed herein is an apparatus and method of constructing a stationary wear-resistant stationary nozzle and/or nozzle liner for solid fueled furnaces. A transition section is constructed from several flat pieces - several that may have identical starting shapes. This reduces manufacturing complexity and costs. All pieces - have a high-wear weld overlay on their inner surface . Corner pieces - are folded into a corner shape at an outlet edge and rolled into a curved shape at an inlet edge . Horizontal and vertical pieces are only rolled at an inlet edge . The pieces have seam tab along longitudinal edges that are welded together to construct a transition section . The transition section may be used as a liner to reduce wear in an existing stationary nozzle or may be constructed to be connected to an inlet piece to form a strong, wear-resistant coal nozzle

A head assembly for a pulverized coal nozzle includes removeable wear-resistant inserts having vanes . The vanes may be flat or curved to direct a stream of air and pulverized solid fuel particles from the inlet port toward the outlet port . The curved vanes curve in two dimensions to evenly distribute the stream of air and pulverized solid fuel away from the outer surfaces reducing wear and corrosion. The pipe elbow has a removable cover that allows for easy access. The vanes are attached to a wear-resistant replaceable liner thus allowing them to be easily removed and replaced. The wear-resistant liner may be made from several parts for ease of removal and replacement.

A head assembly for a pulverized coal nozzle includes a turning vane or a curved vane disposed within a pipe elbow. The vanes are angled relative to the inlet port and the outlet port of the pipe elbow to redirect a stream of air and pulverized solid fuel particles from the inlet port toward the outlet port The coal rope-breaking vane is pivotable about an axis to adjust an angle of the vanes relative to a stream of air and pulverized solid fuel particles from the inlet port An adjustment bar may connect to the vanes and extend outward through the pipe elbow to allow the vanes to be adjusted while the pulverized solid fuel particles flow through the head assembly The pipe elbow may further include inspection ports and a removable cover The vanes may be attached to the removable cover thus allowing them to be easily removed and replaced.

A fastener applicator includes a body portion including a handle assembly, a cartridge assembly supported within the body portion, the cartridge assembly including implantable fasteners, a drive assembly supported within the body portion and operatively coupled to the cartridge assembly to engage the implantable fasteners, and an actuation assembly supported within the handle assembly and operatively coupled to the drive assembly to fire a distal-most implantable fastener upon actuation of the actuation assembly. At least one of the implantable fasteners includes a body including a tissue facing surface, a tissue penetrating portion extending from the body, and a capsule affixed to the tissue facing surface of the body, the capsule including radioactive material.

A cautery device includes an elongated handpiece and a cautery tip extending from the handpiece. The tip defines a channel extending coaxially with the handpiece along an entire length of the cautery tip from a proximal open end to a distal open end. The device includes a gas supply connection extending from the proximal end of the handpiece for supplying gas to the cautery tip. The gas supply connection is fluidly coupled to the cautery tip. The device includes an electric supply connection extending from the proximal end of the handpiece for supplying electricity to the cautery tip. The electric supply connection is electrically coupled to the cautery tip. The gas supplied to the cautery tip is introduced to the channel at the proximal open end and exits the tip at the distal open end.
