  • Publication number: 20240081833
    Abstract: A method of operating a surgical system includes controlling a robotic arm in a first control mode in which the robotic arm constrains movement of a surgical tool coupled to the robotic arm to a virtual geometry correlated with an anatomical feature, switching, responsive to the surgical tool crossing an exit boundary, from the first control mode to a second control mode, and controlling the robotic arm in the second control mode in which movement of the surgical tool is unconstrained by the virtual geometry.

  • Publication number: 20240069908
    Abstract: An example device is described for facilitating pull request reviews based on event-trace streams. In various aspects, the device can comprise a processor. In various instances, the device can comprise a non-transitory machine-readable memory that can store machine-readable instructions. In various cases, the processor can execute the machine-readable instructions, which can cause the processor to perform an automated pull request review for a first version of a computing application and a second version of the computing application, based on a first event-trace stream associated with the first version and a second event-trace stream associated with the second version.

  • Patent number: 11857200
    Abstract: A surgical system includes a robotic arm, an end effector held by the robotic arm, a tracking system configured to detect a patient position and an end effector position, and a processor and non-transitory memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to define a planned trajectory relative to the patient position, obtain the patient position and the end effector position from the tracking system during manual movement of the end effector by a user, determine whether the end effector position is within a threshold of the planned trajectory based on the patient position and the end effector position obtained during the manual movement of the end effector, and upon determination that the end effector position is within the threshold of the planned trajectory, take over and control the robotic arm to automatically align the end effector with the planned trajectory.

  • Patent number: 11278296
    Abstract: A surgical system includes a surgical tool and a processing circuit. The processing circuit is configured to provide a plurality of virtual haptic interaction points where each virtual haptic interaction point is associated with a portion of the surgical tool such that movement of the surgical tool corresponds to movement of the plurality of virtual haptic interaction points, establish a haptic object that defines a working boundary for the surgical tool, and constrain at least one of the portions of the surgical tool based on a relationship between at least one of the plurality of virtual haptic interaction points and the haptic object.

  • Publication number: 20220082996
    Abstract: There is disclosed a device such as a printer or temperature control device for a printer. The device may comprise a photoreceptor. The device may further comprise a heat exchanger to regulate a temperature of the photoreceptor. The device may further comprise a temperature regulator to measure a temperature of a surface of the photoreceptor and control the heat exchanger based on the measured temperature. The device may further comprise a superior temperature controller to, during a pre-print phase of a print action, inhibit the control of the heat exchanger by the temperature regulator and control the heat exchanger to provide a specified amount of heat exchange.

  • Patent number: 11016983
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, gradient boosted decision trees are used to generate tree interaction features, which encode a set of decision rules for features of search results and hence allow feature interactions. These tree interaction features may then be used as features of a GLMix model, essentially injecting non-linearity into the GLMix model.
