Patent number: 11666156Abstract: Surgical robotic systems including a user console for controlling a robotic arm or a surgical robotic tool are described. The user console includes components designed to automatically adapt to anthropometric characteristics of a user. A processor of the surgical robotic system is configured to receive anthropometric inputs corresponding to the anthropometric characteristics and to generate an initial console configuration of the user console based on the inputs using a machine learning model. Actuators automatically adjust a seat, a display, or one or more pedals of the user console to the initial console configuration. The initial console configuration establishes a comfortable relative position between the user and the console components. Other embodiments are described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 2022Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: Verb Surgical Inc.Inventors: Hossein Mousavi Hondori, Joan Savall, Hamid Reza Sani, Brent Michael Nobles

Patent number: 8836203Abstract: A transducer useful for medical imaging ultrasonic transducers comprises a front impedance matching layer, a piezoelectric array, and a rear layer. The front impedance matching layer may include a return connection region electrically coupled to a distal end of the piezoelectric array and a front metal layer with a return signal portion for routing the return signal from the distal end of the transducer to a flex circuit of the rear layer at a proximal end of the transducer. In an embodiment, the rear layer may include a return connection region that is electrically coupled to the piezoelectric array at a distal end of the transducer and also electrically coupled to the signal return lines of a flex circuit at the distal end of the transducer.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2012Date of Patent: September 16, 2014Assignee: Measurement Specialties, Inc.Inventors: Brent Michael Nobles, Minoru Toda, Mitchell L.
