  • Publication number: 20240180638
    Abstract: A robotic system assembly has an actuator assembly with a pair of motors and corresponding carriages linearly advanceable in response to activation of the motors. A surgical instrument having a surgical end effector is removably mountable to the actuator assembly, and includes first and second drive inputs at its proximal end, each of which is linearly moveable relative to the surgical instrument's shaft to actuate the surgical end effector by altering tension on a corresponding actuation tendon. Force sensors are positioned on the actuation carriages to generate feedback corresponding to forces along the control axes of the carriages.

  • Publication number: 20240177577
    Abstract: States of a current transaction are monitored at a terminal. The transaction states are mapped to guidance data and the guidance data is dynamically projected onto a surface that is adjacent to a peripheral of the terminal or dynamically rendered on a display situated on the surface. The guidance data corresponds to an action that an operator of the terminal is expected to take or refrain from taking with respect to the peripheral in order to facilitate progression of the transaction at the terminal. The presentation of the guidance data at the surface provides proximity-based and context-based feedback to the operator during the transaction.

  • Publication number: 20240169359
    Abstract: An item return transaction for an item is identified at a transaction terminal. The item is authenticated using multiple factors at least some of which are independent of item code identification for the item. A fraud score is calculated based on the multiple factors, item code identification, and data that is specific to a customer associated with the transaction, specific to the item, specific to a store associated with the transaction terminal, and specific to a retailer associated with the store. The fraud score and a customer-return grade for the customer are processed to determine whether the transaction can complete at the terminal without assistance or whether the transaction is to be held in abeyance for an audit (onsite audit or remote network-based audit). In an embodiment, the t terminal is a Self-Service Terminal (SST) and the transaction is a self-item return transaction conducted by a customer at the terminal.

  • Publication number: 20240146125
    Abstract: An electric machine with a low profile retention assembly for retention of a stator core is disclosed. A first housing houses the stator core. The first housing has an axial end face with a circumferentially extending, shaped profile having recessed portions that project axially inward alternating with non-recessed portions. A portion of the stator core extends axially out from the recessed portions. A core retention spring is disposed circumferentially at the axial end face of the first housing. The core retention spring has direct contact with the portion of the stator core that extends axially out from the recessed portions of the first housing and the shaped profile of the housing. The core retention spring pushes against the portion of the stator core that extends that extends axially out from the first housing, imparting one or more of an axial load and radial load into the stator core.
