Publication number: 20240081859Abstract: Surgical hub systems are disclosed. A surgical hub system comprises a surgical hub configured to communicably couple to a modular device comprising a sensor configured to detect data associated with the modular device and a device processor. The surgical hub comprises a hub processor, a hub memory coupled to the hub processor. The surgical hub system also comprises a distributed control system executable at least in part by each of the device processor and the hub processor. The distributed control system is configured to: receive the data detected by the sensor; determine control adjustments for the modular device according to the data; and control the modular device according to the control adjustments. When in a first mode, the distributed control system is executed by both the hub processor and the device processor. In a second mode, the distributed control system is executed solely by the device processor.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Inventors: Frederick E. Shelton, IV, Daniel W. Price, Jason L. Harris, David C. Yates

Patent number: 11925309Abstract: A surgical hub for use with a surgical system in a surgical procedure performed in an operating room is disclosed. The surgical hub comprises a control circuit configured to generate a first image of a surgical site from a real-time imaging source, receive a second image of the surgical site from a non-real-time image source, align the first image and the second image, generate a representation of the surgical site based on the first image and the second image as aligned, display the representation on a display screen, receive a first user selection to overlay hidden structures on the representation, receive a second user selection to manipulate the representation, and adjust the representation based on the second user selection.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2021Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Frederick E. Shelton, IV, Andrew C. Deck, Jason L. Harris, Chad E. Eckert, Daniel J. Mumaw, Kevin M. Fiebig, Sarah A. Worthington

Patent number: 11918302Abstract: An interactive control unit is disclosed. The interactive control unit includes an interactive touchscreen display, an interface configured to couple the control unit to a surgical hub, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive input commands from the interactive touchscreen display located inside a sterile field and transmit the input commands to the surgical hub to control devices coupled to the surgical hub located outside the sterile field.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2021Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Jeffrey D. Messerly, Peter K. Shires, Monica L. Z. Rivard, Cory G. Kimball, David C. Yates, Jeffrey L. Aldridge, Daniel W. Price, William B. Weisenburgh, II, Jason L. Harris, Frederick E. Shelton, IV, Jerome R. Morgan

Patent number: 5124481Abstract: The new unsymmetric allyl-(alkyl) telluride compound methyl allyl telluride and other unsymmetric allyl-(alkyl) telluride compounds are prepared by adding an alkyl Grignard to a tellurium/tetrahydrofuran slurry, then subsequent reaction with an alkyl halide. The unsymmetric allyl-(alkyl) telluride product is isolated by filtration followed by vacuum distillation.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1991Date of Patent: June 23, 1992Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Kelvin T. Higa, Daniel C. Harris

Patent number: 5075500Abstract: The new compound diallyl telluride and other diorgano telluride compounds are prepared from alkali metal tellurides obtained by an efficient reaction between an alkali metal and tellurium in a naphthalene/tetrahydrofuran solution. The alkali metal telluride then reacts with an organo halide to form the final product which is easily isolated by filtration followed by vacuum distillation.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 1991Date of Patent: December 24, 1991Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Kelvin T. Higa, Daniel C. Harris

Patent number: H429Abstract: Finely divided metal sulfide powders of uniform size are produced at low temperatures by a method of adding solutions of organometallic compounds to an organic solvent saturated with H.sub.2 S. The solvent is kept saturated with H.sub.2 S by adding H.sub.2 S at a rate greater than that for the organometallic compound.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 1987Date of Patent: February 2, 1988Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the NavyInventors: Daniel C. Harris, Robert W. Schwartz, Curtis E. Johnson
