Abstract: A steerable overtube assembly for a robotic surgical system can include a steerable shaft having one or more instrument channel and a control hub configured to mount to the steerable shaft. The assembly can also include a manual actuator extending from the control hub and configured to allow the steerable shaft to be manually steered by a user's hand, and a robotic actuator housed by and/or extending from the control hub configured to connect to a robotic driver to allow robotic steering of the steerable shaft.

Abstract: A method for minimally invasive deep brain simulation (DBS) involves obtaining a target location for the DBS, obtaining an anatomical model, and simulatively determining, for a set of antennas endocranially implanted at first positions and emitting electromagnetic waves differing by a frequency offset, a first envelope signal at the target location, using the anatomical model. The first envelope signal resulting from interference of the electromagnetic waves at the target location has an envelope signal frequency corresponding to the frequency offset.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a wing assembly at a wing assembly support height. Base sections are provided, each having a different predetermined height with respect to one another. A movable platform carries a plurality of base sections, and a plurality of wing assembly support sections rest on base sections and include wing assembly connectors, which are movable in a first plane and a second plane generally perpendicular relative to the first plane. A differential height is defined between the wing assembly support height and the combined heights of the platform and the height of wing assembly connector, relative to the bottom of the wing assembly support section. At least one of the base sections is of a predetermined height approximating the differential height and is carried on the platform. The wing assembly support section is carried on such base section.

Abstract: An apparatus for supporting a wing assembly at a wing assembly support height. Base sections are provided, each having a different predetermined height with respect to one another. A movable platform carries a base section, and a wing assembly support section rests on a selected base section and includes a wing assembly connector, which is movable in a first plane and a second plane generally perpendicular relative to the first plane. A differential height is defined between the wing assembly support height and the combined heights of the platform and the height of wing assembly connector, relative to the bottom of the wing assembly support section. At least one of the base sections is of a predetermined height approximating the differential height and is carried on the platform. The wing assembly support section is carried on such base section.

Abstract: Disclosed are a mobile terminal and a presence information management method thereof, wherein a reception range of presence information preset by a user is pre-stored and then presence information is received from a server according to the pre-stored reception range of the presence information upon an initiation of a presence service to thusly display on a screen, whereby upon receiving the presence service, part of presence information can be received according to the preset reception range of the presence information, or presence information relating to contacts who are not in interest or infrequently engaged in a call is not needed to be processed, resulting in reducing a current consumption due to processing of the presence information and improving a UI performance.
