Abstract:
A method includes moving an actuator from a first position to a second position such that a first shaft is rotatable relative to a second shaft. The second shaft is disposed within the first shaft and coupled to an expandable member. The actuator is moved from the second position to the first position such that the second shaft is rotatable relative to the first shaft through a plurality of discrete increments.
