  • Publication number: 20240108422
    Abstract: A steerable arm for use in endoscopic surgical procedures. The steerable arm cut from a tube of nitinol to provide flexibility and resilience by the structure into which the tube is cut. Typically, the cut tube comprises a spiralling coil, the loops of which are in contact on one lateral side of the tube and the tube is bent to open apart the loops on the other lateral side. The material which the tube is made of is capable of retaining memory of the bend. This provides a bias for restoring the tube to the bend whenever a force causing the tube to flex is removed.

  • Patent number: 9921806
    Abstract: A method for switching an audio output device includes after a predetermined event is captured on the information output interface, detecting whether a voice interface object representing a voice message is currently displayed on the information output interface. The method further includes detecting whether an external audio output device is currently connected to the mobile electronic apparatus. If it is detected that a voice interface object is currently displayed, and it is not detected that an external audio output device is connected to the mobile electronic apparatus, displaying an interface switching object on the information output interface, to correspondingly switch an audio output device of the mobile electronic apparatus according to an input operation of a user.

  • Patent number: 9569661
    Abstract: A device is configured to perform a method for neck and shoulder detection. The method includes receiving an image that includes a face. The method also includes performing a neck localization operation on the image. The neck localization operation is performed using results from a pre-trained regression model. The method further includes performing a shoulder localization operation on the image. The method still further includes estimating a plurality of shoulder and neck keypoints using results of the neck localization operation and the shoulder localization operation.
