  • Publication number: 20250032787
    Abstract: Methods, systems and devices are provided which transmit energy to a body lumen or passageway in the form of pulsed electric fields (PEFs) and in a manner which provides focal therapy. In some embodiments, PEFs are delivered through independent electrically active electrodes of an energy delivery body, typically in a monopolar fashion. Such delivery concentrates the electrical energy over a smaller surface area, resulting in stronger effects than delivery through an electrode extending circumferentially around the lumen or passageway. It also forces the electrical energy to be delivered in a staged regional approach, mitigating the effect of preferential current pathways through the surrounding tissue. Focal delivery of PEFs can provide increased tissue lethality by employing precise timing and sequencing of energy delivery to the electrodes.

  • Patent number: 12207894
    Abstract: A robotic surgical system includes an electrosurgical energy source, an instrument drive unit, a sterile interface module coupled to the instrument drive unit, and a robotic surgical instrument selectively couplable to the sterile interface module. The robotic surgical instrument may be disposed in electrical communication with the electrosurgical energy source while the robotic surgical instrument is coupled to the sterile interface module. The robotic surgical instrument is configured to automatically electrically disconnect from the electrosurgical energy source when the robotic surgical instrument is uncoupled from the sterile interface module.

  • Patent number: 12208526
    Abstract: Pick quality determination is disclosed, including: using a pressure meter to sense a pressure associated with an airflow through a gripper mechanism of a diverting mechanism over time during a pick operation on a target object; storing the sensed pressure associated with the airflow through the gripper mechanism over time as a pressure sequence associated with the pick operation on the target object; and correlating the pressure sequence with representative pressure sequences associated with corresponding pick quality types to determine whether the pick operation on the target object was successful or not.

  • Patent number: 12211047
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide for authenticating a user attempting to make a payment using a piezoelectric device are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the piezoelectric device can be embedded on a credit card, debit card, or other form of payment card and signals generated by the piezoelectric device can be used to authenticate the user when making the payment. For example, the user can squeeze or manipulate the piezoelectric device in a specific predetermined pattern and the resulting electric charge or induced current generated by the piezoelectric device can facilitate transmitting a signal to a point of sale device, and the point of sale device can authenticate the user based on the signal. In other embodiments, the piezoelectric device can contain circuitry and/or logic that can authenticate the user and send a confirmation signal to the point of sale device to authenticate the payment.

  • Patent number: 12205064
    Abstract: A digital technology transfer system transforms technology transfer documents to a set of digitized manufacturing procedures and operations documentation. The system can transform a technology transfer document to a hierarchical structured model representing a package, or product to be manufactured, and the process for manufacturing the product. The resulting package model can be integrated into a larger model representing an ecosystem of manufacturing entities and plant facilities by assigning steps of the manufacturing process to one or more selected production lines. The system allows participants in the ecosystem to browse the hierarchical model to view information about the manufacturing entities, their plant facilities, and the packages assigned to the respective facilities. The system offers filtered role-specific views of the technology transfer documents, their approval statuses, and their plant assignments.

  • Patent number: 12205327
    Abstract: A device, system, and/or method may be used to provide an adaptive alignment. A first video data may be received. The first video data may comprise a first video frame and a second video frame. Sensor pose data may be determined. The pose data may be associated with the first video frame and the second video frame. An adjusted video frame may be determined based on the first video frame and a motion indicated by the pose data. A frame adjustment value may be determined by comparing a first pixel from the adjusted video frame to a second pixel from the second video frame. The frame adjustment value may correlate the pose data to the first video data. A second video data may be determined by applying the frame adjustment value.

  • Publication number: 20240322485
    Abstract: A self-aligning connector may include an outer connector body and an inner connector body rotatably mounted within the outer connector body. The self-aligning connector may include a plurality of electrical contacts arranged on a face of the inner connector body and a plurality of magnets arranged in a determined pattern on the face of the inner connector body. The self-aligning connector may be configured such that when mating to a corresponding connector that may include a corresponding plurality of magnets in a determined pattern on its face, attractive and repulsive forces of the magnets on the face of the inner connector body and the face of the corresponding connector cause the inner connector body to rotate within the outer connector body to an orientation that aligns the electrical contacts on the face of the inner connector body with corresponding electrical contacts on the face of the corresponding connector.
