  • Publication number: 20220102899
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to the field of cabled robots and more particularly a connector for cables including a first block and a second block, the first and second blocks being configured to be connected together and to form, when they are connected together, a plurality of sliding guides in each of which a pair of first and second cables connected together at their respective first ends is intended for sliding, the connector further including a first locking component mounted on the first block so as to be movable between a locking position and a release position of the set of first ends of the first cables, and further including a second locking component mounted on the second block so as to be movable between a locking position and a release position of the set of first ends of the second cables.

  • Patent number: 9220399
    Abstract: The invention relates to an endoscopic imaging system for observation of an operative site (2) inside a volume (1) located inside the body of an animal, comprising: Image capture means (3) intended to provide data on the operative site (2), Processing means (4) to process data derived from the image capture means, Display means (5) displaying data processed by the processing means (4), characterized in that: The image capture means (3) comprise at least two image capture devices that are independent and mobile relative to one another, the image capture devices being intended to be positioned inside the volume (1), and in that: The processing means (4) comprise computing means to obtain three-dimensional data on the observed operative site (2) from data provided by the image capture devices, and means to reconstruct a three-dimensional image of a region of interest of the operative site from the three-dimensional data obtained.

  • Publication number: 20150289755
    Abstract: The invention concerns a multi-view imaging system for laparoscopic surgery comprising: A tubular member; A first imaging device having a longitudinal body and an active end for acquiring images, intended to be inserted through the tubular member, and movable in the tubular member in translation along the longitudinal axis and/or in rotation about the longitudinal axis; A second imaging device comprising at least two cameras each mounted on a support member and movable relative to the tubular member between: a stowed position in which the cameras are positioned inside the tubular member, and a deployed position in which the cameras are positioned outside the tubular member at the distal end, the cameras being arranged on either side of the longitudinal axis of the tubular member and being held secure relative to the tubular member by holding means, so as to follow any movement of the tubular member.
