  • Publication number: 20240081855
    Abstract: Provided is a system and medical device that includes self diagnosing control switches. The control switch may be slidable within a slot in order to control activation of some function of the medical device. Due to natural wear and tear of movement of a control switch, the distances along the sliding slot that correspond to how much energy is used for the function may need to be adjusted over time in order to reflect the changing physical attributes of the actuator mechanism. The self diagnosing control switches of the present disclosures may be configured to automatically adjust for these thresholds using, for example, Hall effect sensors and magnets. In addition, in some cases, the self diagnosing control switches may be capable of indicating external influences on the controls, as well as predict a time until replacement is needed.

  • Patent number: 11918302
    Abstract: An interactive control unit is disclosed. The interactive control unit includes an interactive touchscreen display, an interface configured to couple the control unit to a surgical hub, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions executable by the processor to receive input commands from the interactive touchscreen display located inside a sterile field and transmit the input commands to the surgical hub to control devices coupled to the surgical hub located outside the sterile field.

  • Publication number: 20210312404
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a method is performed at an invitee device with one or more processors, non-transitory memory, an input device, and a display. The method includes receiving, from an organizer, an invitation for a calendar event. The method includes displaying, on the display, a calendar user interface including a first graphical representation of the calendar event displayed at location of the calendar user interface corresponding to a time of the calendar event. The method includes detecting, via the input device, a proposed new time input indicative of a proposed new time for the calendar event. In response to detecting the proposed new time input, the method includes displaying a second graphical representation of the calendar event at a location of the calendar user interface corresponding to the proposed new time and sending a notification to the organizer including an indication of the proposed new time.

  • Publication number: 20200380768
    Abstract: A device for performing parameterized generation of two-dimensional images from a three-dimensional model may include at least one processor configured to receive a set of parameters for generating a two-dimensional image from a three-dimensional model. The at least one processor may be further configured to position a render camera relative to the three-dimensional model based at least in part on a first parameter of the set of parameters, apply a pose to the three-dimensional model based at least in part on a second parameter of the set of parameters, and add at least one supplemental content item to the posed three-dimensional model based at least in part on a third parameter of the set of parameters. The at least one processor may be further configured to generate, using the positioned render camera, the two-dimensional image from the posed three-dimensional model including the added at least one supplemental content item.

  • Publication number: 20200358765
    Abstract: In some implementations, a controller device can implement communication restriction configurations on a managed device operated by a first user with a first account identifier, the configurations designed to limit a feature or functionality of the managed device. For example, the controller device can remotely cause the managed device to limit the communication capabilities of the first device. For example, the first device receives a message including the configuration. The managed device determines that the communication restriction configuration is created by a second user of the controller device. The first device identifies a second account identifier for the controller device. The first device determines that the second account identifier represents a member of a family group that includes the first account identifier.

  • Patent number: 6386239
    Abstract: A three-layer transmission hose for use in a vehicle is disclosed. The transmission hose includes a reinforcement layer sandwiched between an inner layer and an outer layer where the inner layer is made up of a blend of a poylethylene vinylacetate (EVM) and a chlorinated polyethylene (CPE). The outer layer may be made of the same or different material as the inner layer. A method of making a transmission hose from a blend of EVM and CPE is also disclosed.
