  • Patent number: 11963727
    Abstract: Mitigating a user interface display function of a modular energy system includes receiving formatted video data at a video data converter circuit, providing differential video signaling data to the display from the video data converter circuit, providing a copy of the differential video signaling data to a processor, and determining that the differential video signaling data is changing over time. Mitigating erroneous outputs from an isolated interface includes receiving a state of a first switch of a first footswitch coupled to a first comparator and a reference voltage coupled to the first comparator, receiving the state of the first switch coupled to the first duplicate comparator and the reference voltage coupled to the first duplicate comparator, comparing the output of the first comparator with the output of the first duplicate comparator, and determining activation or deactivation of a surgical instrument coupled to the controller based on the comparison.

  • Patent number: 11911045
    Abstract: A method for adjusting control parameters of a clip applier using a surgical hub is disclosed. The method comprises gathering data during a first surgical procedure, evaluating the gathered data to determine the appropriate operation of a clip applier in a subsequent surgical procedure, gathering data during the operation of the clip applier in the subsequent surgical procedure, determining if the operation of the clip applier needs to be adjusted based on the data gathered during the subsequent surgical procedure, and adjusting the operation of the clip applier based on the data gathered during the subsequent surgical procedure.

  • Patent number: 5441290
    Abstract: An adjustable pedal arm is mounted on an occupant powered vehicle. The pedal arm is elongated and tubular, extending from one end, mounting pedals and cranks, to a remaining end that is pivotably mounted to the vehicle frame for adjustable pivotal movement about an axis. An internal drive assembly is provided within the pedal arm, extending from the crank arms to the remaining end of the pedal arm. An external drive assembly connects the internal drive assembly to at least one of the vehicle wheels. An adjuster is mounted between the pedal arm and vehicle frame to permit selective adjustment of the pedal position relative to the occupant seat. The pedal arm with the use of a pedal arm adjuster, pivots about a jack shaft located on the vehicle frame to meet the occupant's preferred pedal position.
