A single-use syringe having a barrel and a plunger is provided. The pump has multiple stages within an outer housing. The cutting instrument is provided with a mechanism that converts linear motion into rotational motion and locks the blade into position. The first and second inclined surfaces extend toward and gradually close to the feeding assembly in the direction in which the box is transported. The tissue deformation parameter strain is also determined by an accumulation of strain rate estimates for consecutive frames over an interval. The apertures may be shaped and positioned to receive a variety of specified electrical devices, such as round electrical sockets, duplex outlet sockets, ground-fault circuit interrupt sockets, or light switches.
