Abstract: Surgical robotic systems including synchronous and asynchronous networks and methods employing the same are provided. One surgical robotic system includes a networked computing node, a slave robot assembly, and first and second communication paths. The slave robot assembly includes subunits, communicatively coupled to one another by way of the first communication paths, thereby forming at least a portion of a synchronous network. The networked computing node and a subunit are communicatively coupled to one another by way of the second communication paths, thereby forming at least a portion of a second network, and are configured to communicate one or more packets to one another by way of the second network. The subunit is configured to communicate, with the other subunits via the synchronous network, data from the one or more packets. A clock rate of the synchronous network is independent from a clock rate of the second network.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the control of Ostwald Ripening phenomenon occurring in particle suspensions without the need for addition of stabilizing agents, by using high pressure homogenization at mild conditions in a way that no increase or decrease in particle size occurs, thus allowing the stabilization of the suspension during the isolation step in the form of a dried powder.
