Patent number: 12226174Abstract: A surgical robotics system with robotic arms is configurable to perform a variety of surgical procedures. The surgical robotics system can include a table, column, base, and robotic arms that are either column-mounted, rail-mounted, or mounted on a separate unit. In a column-mounted configuration, the column can include column rings that translate vertically and rotate about the column. The robotic arms are attached to the column rings. In a rail-mounted configuration, the base can include base rails that translate along the base. The robotic arms are attached to the base rails. In both configurations, the robotic arms can move independently from each other and include multiple arm segments. Each arm segment can provide an additional degree of freedom to the robotic arm. Thus, the surgical robotics system may position the robotic arms into numerous configurations to access different parts of a patient's body.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 2022Date of Patent: February 18, 2025Assignee: Auris Health, Inc.Inventors: Alan Yu, Frederic H. Moll, Benjamin Richter, Mark H. Olson, Jason Gonzalez, Kyle Andrew Tucker, Paxton Maeder-York, Gregory T. Schulte

Publication number: 20180149972Abstract: Disclosed is a method of conducting chemical reactions below the diffraction limit. The method comprises providing a composition comprising or consisting of at least one photoenol, initiating a reaction which emanates from the photoenol at a selected site by irradiation with light of a first, photoenol-activating wavelength, and concurrently or thereafter, suppressing the reaction emanating from the photoenol in the immediate vicinity of the selected site by irradiation with light of a second, photoenol-deactivating wavelength which creates an interference pattern having an intensity minimum or zero intensity at the selected site.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 23, 2016Publication date: May 31, 2018Inventors: Joachim FISCHER, Benjamin RICHTER, Alexander QUICK, Jonathan MUELLER, Martin BASTMEYER, Christopher BARNER-KOWOLLIK, Martin WEGENER
