Publication number: 20240124045Abstract: Devices, systems and methods for converting wheeled carriers into sliding carriers include at least one sliding member positioned under at least one wheel of a wheeled carrier such as a wagon. The sliding member includes an abutment against which the wheel rests such that when the wheeled carrier is in motion, namely pushed or pulled, the abutment is likewise pushed or pulled, thereby retaining the sliding member(s) under the wheel(s) and transporting the wheeled carrier without significant wheel rotation. In this manner a wheeled carrier can slide on loose terrain such as sand. The device can also be used to slide objects other than wheeled carriers.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 9, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventor: Christopher WALSH

Patent number: 11628025Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining acceptable ranges of pressures for use by a robotic arm on a surgical instrument, robotic systems and methods that are limited to using the acceptable ranges of pressures, and the medical devices for use in the robotic surgery. Learning software is included in the methods and systems for correlating manually-performed procedures with pressure sensors as a tactile gauge for qualifying the acceptable ranges of pressures for use by a robotic system. Robotic systems and methods are provided for (i) locating tissue borders of a surgical site, (ii) identifying a preferred pressure, and (iii) transmitting the data to the computer to avoid violating the integrity of tissue surrounding the surgical site.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2022Date of Patent: April 18, 2023Assignee: INTEGRITY IMPLANTS, INC.Inventor: Christopher Walsh
