  • Publication number: 20240423733
    Abstract: A teleoperation system includes an input device configured to by manually manipulated by an operator, a first manipulator configured to support an imaging device, a second manipulator configured to support an attachment selected from the group consisting of: an instrument and a tissue probe, a display device; and a control system. The imaging device has a field of view. The control system is configured to receive a first image of a workspace captured by the imaging device; determine a movement command based on movement of the input device; and in response to a first determination that the movement command is for teleoperating the attachment while the attachment is inserted into the workspace in a first direction that is non-corresponding to a second direction of the field of view, cause the display device to display a second image indicative of a tip of the attachment overlayed with the first image.

  • Patent number: 12152236
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for preparing a DNA sequencing library that brings more distal fragmentation breakpoints into close proximity to the non-degenerate sequence tag. In an embodiment, the method comprises circularizing a target fragment library with a plurality of adaptor molecules to produce a population of first circularized double-stranded DNA molecules, wherein the plurality of adaptor molecules comprises a first defined sequence P1 comprising a first restriction enzyme recognition site R1, a degenerate sequence tag, and a second defined sequence P2 comprising a second restriction enzyme recognition site R2, such that at least one of the first circularized double-stranded DNA molecule comprises a non-degenerate sequence tag and a member of the target fragment library. The method is useful because some sequencing platforms perform optimally with template molecules that are relatively short, for example, less than about 500 base pairs in length.

  • Patent number: 12114947
    Abstract: A teleoperational system receives a movement command in response to movement of an input device, in response to determining an instrument is being controlled based on the movement of the input device, maps the movement command to a first movement of the instrument in an instrument frame using a first mapping, and in response to determining a tissue probe is being controlled based on the movement of the input device, maps the movement command to a second movement of the tissue probe in a tissue probe frame using a second mapping. The first mapping maps motion in an input direction in the input frame to an instrument direction in the instrument frame. The second mapping maps motion in the input direction to a tissue probe direction in the tissue probe frame. The instrument direction corresponding with the input direction. The tissue probe direction not corresponding with the input direction.

  • Patent number: 12079748
    Abstract: A method of operating a resource pooling system involves receiving resource deposits from a first set of member companies into a resource pool, the resource deposits that includes excess resources for operating the first set of member companies. The method lends resources from the resource pool to a second set of member companies in response to each company of the second set of member companies requesting resources in an amount that exceeds a total resource deposit for the company. In the method, the first set of member companies and the second set of member companies form a resource co-operative.

  • Publication number: 20240095702
    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure provide for verifying user-generated content (UGC). When the UGC is a review of an entity of a good or service, the review is verified when a UGC verification system determines that the user authoring the review was a consumer of a good or service offered by the entity. At the time of a transaction for a good or service, the UGC verification system can receive and respond to a request by a point-of-sale (POS) system to generate a unique encoding. The POS system may be implemented on a device in communication with, but separate from, a platform implementing the UGC verification system. The UGC verification system tracks receipt of requests to access a content form for leaving a review, so as to ensure that each generated encoding is only used to access the content form once.
