  • Publication number: 20250090242
    Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods are provided for registering image data with robotic data for image-guided robotic catheters and other elongate bodies. Fluid drive systems can be used to provide robotically coordinated motion. Precise control over catheter-supported tools is enhanced by alignment of fluoroscopic and ultrasound image data, particularly for structural heart and other therapies in which the catheter will interact with soft tissues. A marker plate having a planar array of machine-readable 2D barcode markers may facilitate alignment of image and robotic data. Determining an ultrasound-based pose of a component in the ultrasound image field allows that component to effectively a fiducial for alignment.

  • Publication number: 20250036150
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a digital low-dropout regulator (DLDO) and an electronic device using the same. The DLDO includes a voltage comparator circuit, a switch control circuit, a power switch module, and an asynchronous clock generation circuit. The voltage comparator circuit compares a reference voltage with the output voltage to output a comparison result signal. The switch control circuit generates a switch control signal based on the comparison result signal. The power switch module is controlled by the switch control signal to switch between the on state and the off state, thereby adjusting the output voltage. The asynchronous clock generation circuit generates a reference clock signal that is asynchronous with the system clock signal used in the load circuit and has a higher clock frequency. This allows the switch control circuit to update the switch control signal based on the reference clock signal.

  • Publication number: 20250030409
    Abstract: A signal conversion device for converting a single-ended input voltage into a differential input voltage having a positive input voltage and a negative input voltage is provided. During a sampling phase, a holding phase, and a common-mode voltage generation phase, a capacitor related to the positive input voltage is electrically connected to the single-ended input voltage, and a capacitor related to the negative input voltage is electrically connected to a preset voltage. During a single-ended to differential phase, the capacitor related to the positive input voltage is electrically connected to the preset voltage, and the capacitor related to the negative input voltage is electrically connected to the single-ended input voltage. Hence, the common-mode voltage is not related to a capacitance ratio, and the capacitors does not need to be designed as switching capacitors with multiple switches. No complex control is required, and the parasitic effect of the circuit can be reduced.

  • Patent number: 12176914
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present disclosure provides a conversion circuit for converting a single-ended input to a differential input, which has fewer switches and fewer capacitors. This conversion circuit increases the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and the conversion circuit directly uses the higher supply voltage AVDD without being bucked by the regulator, wherein the common mode voltage is AVDD/2N, and N is greater than 1. Overall, not only the circuit area is smaller and the SNR is higher, but also the manufacturing cost is reduced. In addition, compared with the prior art, the conversion circuit of the embodiment of the present disclosure has only three operation periods, so the control is simpler and the operation speed is faster.
