Publication number: 20230355341Abstract: Generally, a system for use in a robotic surgical system may be used to determine an attachment state between a tool driver, sterile adapter, and surgical tool of the system. The system may include sensors used to generate attachment data corresponding to the attachment state. The attachment state may be used to control operation of the tool driver and surgical tool. In some variations, one or more of the attachment states may be visually output to an operator using one or more of the tool driver, sterile adapter, and surgical tool. In some variations, the tool driver and surgical tool may include electronic communication devices configured to be in close proximity when the surgical tool is attached to the sterile adapter and tool driver.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 8, 2023Publication date: November 9, 2023Inventors: Matthew Colin Vargas, Charles J.

Patent number: 10944261Abstract: A proximal end portion of a robotic surgical arm is to be coupled to an adapter of a surgical robotic platform, for use during a surgical session at the platform, and then decoupled from the adapter for storage until being re-coupled for use during another surgical session at the platform. A resonant-mode transformer-coupled power converter is provided that has a secondary side and a primary side. The secondary side is in the arm and has a transformer secondary coil in the proximal end portion of the arm. The primary side has a transformer primary coil in the adapter. The primary and secondary coils are held at positions and orientations that enable mutual inductive coupling between them for operation of the power converter when the arm is coupled to the adapter. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2019Date of Patent: March 9, 2021Assignee: VERB SURGICAL INC.Inventors: Qiong Wu, Koray Sahin, Jonathan Bernard

Patent number: 8555891Abstract: Techniques for operating a subcutaneous implant device are disclosed. The implant device can be formed of a non-magnetic material that is compatible with diagnostics such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and can include a rotor element that rotates under the influence of an external magnetic field. The implant device includes a tension relief mechanism for relieving excessive force applied between the implant device and a portion of a patient's tongue. A non-implanted device can include a stator and drive circuitry for generating the external magnetic field. The non-implanted device can receive a user command and can vary the external magnetic field based on the command. When activated by the magnetic field, the implant device can change its operating state to interact with the patient's body.Type: GrantFiled: May 21, 2010Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Medtronic Xomed, Inc.Inventors: Adam Sharkawy, Koray Sahin, Adrian McVicker, Jon F.

Publication number: 20090173351Abstract: A tongue implant control system and methods for stabilizing the tongue are disclosed. The tongue implant control system includes an implant device and a non-implanted control device in wireless communication. The control device provides an inductive power transfer for operating the implant device. The control device also sends commands for changing a state of the implant device. The implant device includes a flexible portion for attachment to the tongue and to one or more actuators. The one or more actuators may include shape memory material. The implant device detects a command from the control device and powers an actuator based on the command. Optionally, the implant device communicates its operating state to the control device and the control device displays information about the implant device at a user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2008Publication date: July 9, 2009Applicant: Pavad Medical, Inc.Inventors: Koray Sahin, Anant V.
