Abstract: Computer-implemented digital image analysis methods, apparatuses, and systems for robotic installation of surgical implants are disclosed. A disclosed apparatus plans a route within an anatomy of a patient from an incision site to a surgical implant site for robotic installation of a surgical implant. The apparatus uses digital imaging data to identify less-invasive installation paths and determine the dimensions of the surgical implant components being used. The apparatus segments the surgical implant into surgical implant subcomponents and modifies the surgical implant subcomponents, such that they can be inserted using the identified less-invasive installation paths.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for performing robotic joint arthroscopic surgery are disclosed. The disclosed systems use a surgical robot to perform robotic joint arthroscopic surgery for soft tissue. The disclosed systems enable a surgeon or physician to perform a virtual surgical procedure in a virtual environment, storing robotic movements, workflow objects, user inputs, or a description of tools used. The surgical robot filters the stored data to determine a surgical workflow from the stored data. The surgical robot displays information describing a surgical step in the surgical workflow, enabling the surgeon or physician to optionally adjust the surgical workflow. The surgical robot stores the optional adjustments and performs the surgical procedure on a patient by executing surgical actions of the surgical workflow.

Abstract: This specification describes systems, methods, devices, and related techniques for optimizing 3D printed implants. A 3D network can collect medical images from an imaging device and create a 3D image of the damaged or malfunctioning body part. The 3D network allows a user to alter the 3D image to fix the damages or malfunctions and the 3D network, compares the altered 3D image to a historical database containing healthy patient's medical images, and provides recommendations to allow the user to further enhance the altered 3D image. The 3D network then performs a simulation on the enhanced 3D image to determine, if the 3D image was printed, if it will be successful or not. Once successful, the 3D image is printed using a 3D printer and the user tests the compatibility of the 3D printed object to determine if the implant or transplant would be successful.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for digital image analysis for device navigation in tissue are disclosed. The disclosed system uses real-time angiography and artificial intelligence to navigate an end effector of a surgical robot through a patient's vasculature to provide a surgical intervention. Digital imaging is performed that enables three-dimensional mapping of the patient's vasculature. Locations and movement of the end effector of the surgical robot are determined. The end effector is used to perform an intervention such as the removal of a blood clot or delivery of a drug for dissolving a blood clot.

Abstract: A robotic surgery system comprising a plurality of motorized robotic arms of a surgical robot configured to perform surgical steps on a patient and a display system for multi-user control of the robot of a surgical procedure. The display system includes a console including left and right hand-operated input devices physically manipulatable by a first user and a viewer configured to display one or more instruments carried by the plurality of robotic arms to the second user. The display system also includes a second user device configured to display a graphical user interface having patient data of the patient and an authorization input for a second user to be authorized to switch control of at least one of the robotic arms from the first user to the second user.

Abstract: A system for implanting surgical material in a patient's body is disclosed. The system comprises a two-dimensional (2D) laser cutter network comprising a 2D laser cutter and a processor. The processor is configured to perform the steps of capturing an image of an open area of a patient's body and processing a drug implant substrate to create a customized drug implant substrate. The customized drug implant may be created based on the captured image to correspond with the open area of the patient's body. The drug implant substrate is shaped using the 2D laser cutter. The processor is further configured to perform the steps of placing the customized drug implant substrate in the open area of the patient's body and sealing the open area after placing the customized drug implant substrate in the open area.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for providing updates to a surgical robot in which a surgical robot receives a notification that there is an update available or detects a new hardware component that has been attached to the surgical robot. The surgical robot then determines if it is currently in use or is inactive and if inactive the surgical robot downloads the latest update. Additionally, the system provides a process of remote monitoring of telesurgical robots for safety and redundancy, in which the surgical robot collects data representing at least one assistance parameter of the surgical robot during a surgical procedure. The data is assessed, and it is determined if non-surgical assistance is required and connecting the medical professional to a technician to resolve the potential issue.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and systems for performing custom surgical implant design are disclosed. The disclosed apparatus designs and installs customized surgical implants to minimize the recovery of the patient. The system uses imaging data to identify the least invasive installation path, and determines the maximum dimensions of the surgical implant components. The system virtually segments the surgical implant into subcomponents, and modifies the subcomponents such that they can be inserted following the identified least invasive path.

Abstract: The disclosed technology provides for printing a 3D structure in-situ within a patient during a surgical procedure. The disclosed technology can include generating instructions for a 3D printer of a surgical robot to print a structure within the patient's body, simulating and verifying the instructions, and autonomously or semi-autonomously executing the instructions, once verified, during a surgical procedure. Generating the instructions for printing the 3D structure within the patient can be based on image data of the patient. Generating the instructions can also include selecting substrate materials that are both safe for the patient and having desired properties of the final printed structure. Modifications can be made to the instructions based on results from the simulation. The disclosed technology provides for application of safe substrate material directly to hard and/or soft tissues within the patient's body via an additive manufacturing process, such as 3D printing.

Abstract: A memory hub receives downstream memory commands and processes each received downstream memory command to determine whether the memory command includes a write command directed to the memory hub. The memory hub operates in a first mode when the write command is directed to the hub to develop memory access signals adapted to be applied to memory devices. The memory hub operates in a second mode when the write command is not directed to the hub to provide the command's write data on a downstream output port adapted to be coupled to a downstream memory hub.

Abstract: A memory hub includes first and second link interfaces for coupling to respective data busses, a data path coupled to the first and second link interfaces and through which data is transferred between the first and second link interfaces, and further includes a write bypass circuit coupled to the data path to couple write data on the data path and temporarily store the write data to allow read data to be transferred through the data path while the write data is temporarily stored. A method for writing data to a memory location in a memory system is provided which includes accessing read data in the memory system, providing write data to the memory system, and coupling the write data to a register for temporary storage. The write data is recoupled to the memory bus and written to the memory location following provision of the read data.
