  • Patent number: 11564760
    Abstract: A computer-assisted teleoperated surgical system includes one or more manipulator devices and other components. A manipulator device includes a first link, a second link coupled to a distal end of the first link, a third link coupled to the second link, and an instrument actuator coupled to the third link. A joint that couples the second link to the first link defines a yaw axis. A joint that couples the third link to the second link defines a pitch axis. The instrument actuator defines an insertion axis. The yaw, pitch, and insertion axes are fixed in relation to each other and intersect at a remote center of motion. The instrument actuator may insert a surgical instrument along the insertion axis roll and may roll the surgical instrument around the insertion axis. The proximal end of the first link may be coupled to a repositionable setup structure, which may optionally be mechanically grounded to an operating room table.

  • Publication number: 20220416265
    Abstract: A portable fuel cell system that is compact. The integration of a snorkel into the chassis allows the fuel cell to operate inside a backpack. The fuel cell system includes a thermal management system to keep the surface of the chassis at a comfortable temperature for the user. A boiler is mounted on a side of the fuel cell stack such that waste heat from the fuel cell stack is efficiently transferred to the boiler to vaporize fuel. A burner is positioned away from the fuel cell stack so that the system can be more compact. A thermal management system, including a blower, a heatsink, and a cooling air shroud, regulates the temperature of the fuel cell system.
