Patent number: 11963727Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Joshua P. Morgan, Andrew W. Carroll, Jeffrey L. Aldridge, Joshua M. Henderson, James M. Vachon, Eitan T. Wiener, Daniel C. Herman, Jonathan T. Samuel, Jeffrey A. Bullock

Patent number: 11950860Abstract: Several mitigation circuits are disclosed. An audio mitigation circuit includes an audio mitigation control module configured to read a unique tone identification embedded in a digital audio signal to identify a digital audio tone. A video mitigation circuit confirms video to be displayed by a user interface. Another audio mitigation circuit is configured to process super-audible tones in an audio signal to confirm an audio asset. The disclosure also describes various methods associated with the mitigation circuits.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Cilag GmbH InternationalInventors: Joshua P.

Publication number: 20210229949Abstract: This disclosure describes a high speed winch rewind adapter for quickly rewinding a loading strap. In one implementation, the adapter includes a body having a volume sized to at least partially surround an annular end of the winch. The annular end is coupled with a ratchet mechanism of the winch and having at least one hole for receiving a winch bar. A drive connector is positioned both within the volume of the body and external to the volume of the body, the drive connector external to the volume of the body having an external profile to receive a torque, and the drive connector within the volume of the body insertable into the annular end of the winch for alignment to the axis of rotation. A coupling mechanism synchronizes the drive connector to the annular end such that both the drive connector and the annular end rotate simultaneously.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 16, 2021Publication date: July 29, 2021Inventor: James L. Henderson
