  • Surgical robotics systems and devices having a sterile restart, and methods thereof
    Patent number: 11844585
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to surgical robotic systems having a master console and slave manipulators, with components and features for enabling a restart without comprising the sterility of the surgical robotic system. In some embodiments, an apparatus can include a restart of a surgical robotic system that is configured to be activated by a sterile user from within a sterile field without compromising the sterile field, and a controller operatively coupled to the restart that is configured to detect that the restart has been activated and, in response to detecting that the restart has been activated, restart the surgical robotic system.

  • Interconnecting system, video signal transmitter and video signal receiver for transmitting an N-symbol data signal
    Patent number: 9871988
    Abstract: The present application relates to an interconnect system for transmitting a stream of N-symbol data signals, which comprises a parallel data signal line bus, a line scrambler, a line de-scrambler and a defect detector. The defect detector is configured to detect one or more defective data signal lines. The line scrambler 110 is configured to accept an N-symbol data signal d having a sequence of data symbols in a predefined order and to output a permuted sequence d? of data symbols at its N output terminals oj. The line de-scrambler is configured to accept the permuted sequence d? of data symbols at its input terminal i?j, to restore the predefined order of the data symbols from the permuted sequence d? of data symbols; and to output the restored N-symbol data signal d comprising a sequence of data symbols in the predefined order.
