A power-saving control device for operation of an electronic garbage can includes a rotation-blocked current setting register, a sampling resistor, an analog-digital converter, an analog-digital conversion result register, and a comparing unit, which are electrically connected in sequence. The comparing unit compares a current value obtained in real time with a reference current value in the rotation-blocked current setting register, and when the real-time current value is greater than the reference current value, the microcomputer control unit stops supplying power to a motor by controlling the motor positive and negative rotation driving circuit. The power-saving control device has greatly reduced power consumption during operation of an electronic garbage can and a prolonged service life of its battery.

The recovery of an intact volume of tissue proceeds with a delivery cannula distal end positioned in confronting adjacency with the volume of tissue to be recovered. A tissue cutting and capture assembly formed of a plurality of metal leafs is deployed from the distal end of the delivery cannula. The tips of these leafs carry a pursing cable assembly, which is electrically excited to electrosurgically cut around and circumscribe the tissue volume. These pursing cables are tensioned to complete the envelopment of the tissue volumes by drawing the leaf tips together. An essential attribute of the disclosed apparatus is the confinement of the path of electrical conduction of constant current required to achieve tissue cutting to only those portions of the deploying and retracting resistively heated portion of the electrically conductive cutting and pursing cable that are in direct contact with tissue.
