  • Publication number: 20220217140
    Abstract: Apparatuses, systems, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for automated event migration. A method includes aggregating a set of events from one or more servers to a trusted hardware device. Certain different events of a set of events may be associated with different service providers. A method includes identifying, on a trusted hardware device, a repeating event from a set of events. A method includes prompting a user to migrate subsequent instances of a repeating event from one service provider to a different service provider of a plurality of service providers based on a likelihood that the aggregated set of events includes each event for the user of an event type of the aggregated set of events. A method includes migrating subsequent instances of a repeating event, using a user's electronic credentials, from one service provider to a different service provider in response to the user accepting a prompt.

  • Publication number: 20220192764
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a wrist, an end effector, a cable pair, and a transmission. A proximal wrist portion is coupled to a distal end portion of a shaft. Actuation of the wrist moves a distal wrist portion relative to the proximal wrist portion. The end effector is coupled to the distal wrist portion, and can be actuated to move relative to the wrist. The transmission is coupled to a proximal end portion of the shaft, and can move an end of the cable pair to actuate the end effector. The end of the cable pair is routed through a transmission cable path within the transmission. The transmission includes an adjustment mechanism having an input portion that receives a force exerted by the end of the cable pair. The adjustment mechanism is configured to change a length of the transmission cable path in response to a change in the force.

  • Publication number: 20220175480
    Abstract: A manipulator for articulating a surgical instrument may comprise an instrument holder configured to couple with the surgical instrument and to pivot about a remote center of motion. The manipulator may comprise a linkage assembly coupled to the instrument holder and configured to constrain rotational motion of the instrument holder to pivot about the remote center of motion. The linkage assembly may comprise a first, second, and third linkage arms. The second linkage arm may be rotatably coupled to the first linkage arm with a proximal end of the first linkage arm and a proximal end of the second linkage arm coupled at a proximal pivot joint. A third linkage arm may be translationally coupled to the second linkage arm. Movement of the second linkage arm and the third linkage arm may cause a distal end of the third linkage arm to trace an arc around the remote center of motion.

  • Publication number: 20220182758
    Abstract: An electrical device for reducing noise, comprises a first microphone configured to receive soundwave from a sound source and convert the soundwave to a first electrical signal including a noise component, a second microphone configured to receive ambient noise from an ambient environment and convert the ambient noise to a second electrical signal. The second electrical signal is reversed in polarity to the first electrical signal. The electrical device further comprises a circuit connecting the first microphone and the second microphone. The circuit is configured to combine the first electrical signal and the second electrical signal in order to reduce the noise component in the first electrical signal with the second electrical signal that is reversed in polarity.

  • Publication number: 20220174057
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for workflow service back end integration. In some examples, a command is transmitted causing a client device to present a workflow action to perform. A user command to perform the workflow action is identified using the client device. Authentication data including user credentials and a navigation action for a visual user interface is identified. The user credentials are transmitted to the network service and an emulation of the navigation action is performed. A command that performs the workflow action is transmitted to the network service.

  • Publication number: 20220160448
    Abstract: A system includes a manipulator assembly and a shroud that defines a sterile volume. The manipulator assembly includes a sterile link or a non-sterile link covered by an external sterile cover, and the link is received into and withdrawn from the shroud's sterile volume. The outside of the shroud may be non-sterile while the shroud maintains its interior sterile volume, so that the link or external sterile cover remains sterile as it moves within the shroud's sterile volume. The shroud may then extend into a non-sterile field in a surgical environment, and the link or external sterile cover remains sterile as the link is moved from the non-sterile field into a sterile field for surgery. The shroud may be movable, it may mechanically support the manipulator assembly, and it may be coupled to a surgical table or to a unit separate from a surgical table.

  • Publication number: 20220151716
    Abstract: A computer-assisted medical system includes manipulators, a user input system, a user output system comprising a display device, and a controller configured to execute instructions to perform operations. The operations include, in a pairing mode and in response to a first set of signals generated by the user input system, causing a virtual selector shown on the display device to move relative to an imagery shown on the display device. The operations further include, in the pairing mode, associating a first manipulator with a portion of the user input system based on movement of the virtual selector relative to a represented location of the first instrument, and, in a following mode, controlling motion of the first instrument in accordance to a second set of signals generated by the user input system in response to operation of the portion of the user input system by a user.

  • Publication number: 20220087758
    Abstract: Systems and methods for minimally invasive computer-assisted telesurgery are described. A computer-assisted teleoperated surgery system includes a teleoperated instrument actuation pod. The surgical instrument actuation pod includes a plurality of linear actuators arranged around a surgical instrument. The linear actuators engage with actuator engagement members on the instrument and so drive movable parts on the instrument. The actuation pod is mounted on a teleoperated manipulator. Instrument pod mass is close to the teleoperated manipulator to minimize the pod's inertia, momentum, and gravity effects on the manipulator.
