  • Publication number: 20250001589
    Abstract: A robot system includes a tracking arm in communication with a reference location about a site. A robot arm has a procedure tool/end effector engaged therewith, and a proximal end disposed in a known relation to a proximal end of the tracking arm. A controller determines an actual spatial relation between the procedure tool and the reference location in a three-dimensional space via the robot and tracking arms, and directs the procedure tool to a staging position adjacent to the site by regulating movement of the robot arm according to an operational plan and based on the actual spatial relation. An actuator is spaced-apart from the procedure tool and in communication with the controller. The actuator actuates the controller to direct the robot arm to autonomously move the procedure tool from the staging position, according to the operational plan, to interact with the site and perform the procedure.

  • Publication number: 20240403665
    Abstract: Securing a file against user actions in a computer network includes processing a request for a file-directed action that identifies a user, a file, and a mode of file access. Generating a mediated covenant of association that defines constraints of the user action and is produced by node-by-node informatic convolution of a hierarchy of informational nodes present in profiles of the user, the file and the mode. Enforcing securing of the user actions with a computer security event-specific model based on an instance of trust derived from the covenant of association.

  • Patent number: 12156647
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a kit for augmenting a primary repair construct in an articulating joint. The kit includes a flexible member, a first implant that fixes a first end of the flexible member in a first bone adjacent to the primary repair construct and a second implant that may selectively couple to the flexible member, and thereby fix a second end of the flexible member in a second bone adjacent to the primary repair construct. The kit also includes a tension adjusting construct that may operatively couple to the flexible member and controllable adjust a tension on the flexible member disposed between the first and second implant, the tension adjustable so as to define an angle of joint articulation at which the flexible member changes from being passive to augment the primary repair construct.
