  • Patent number: 11516106
    Abstract: A Protocol Analyzer is provided for monitoring and debugging a high-speed communications link between a local device and a remote device. The local device may include a communications protocol block for interfacing with the remote device. The Protocol Analyzer may include an embedded logic debugging circuit on the local device, where the logic debugging circuit is configured to capture link data based on user-defined events to create a corresponding database of signal capture in a local memory. The Protocol Analyzer is configured to import the database from memory and to decode the link data to display on a user interface that organizes key link sequencing events along with their timestamps to help the user more accurately and quickly debug any link bring-up issues.

  • Patent number: 9198731
    Abstract: Integrated surgical systems and methods for using same are provided that can receive scanned images and produce a three dimensional model from the images. Based at least in part on the three dimensional model, a processor generates code defining an optimized tool path, which is sent to a surgical machining system that can machine the desired portion of the patient. In one exemplary aspect, the integrated system operates in a clearly defined and pre-programmed manner with no necessity for in-situ sensory or guidance feedback.

  • Patent number: 8965485
    Abstract: Integrated surgical systems and methods for using same are provided that can receive scanned images and produce a three dimensional model from the images. Based at least in pan on the three dimensional model, a processor generates code defining an optimized tool path, which is sent to a surgical machining system that can machine the desired portion of the patient. In one exemplary aspect, the integrated system operates in a clearly defined and pre-programmed manner with no necessity for in-situ sensory or guidance feedback.
