Abstract: An integrated hybrid rotary assembly is configured to provide power, torque and bi-directional communication to a rotatable sensor, such as a lidar, radar or optical sensor. A common ferrite core is shared by a motor, rotary transformer and radio frequency communication link. This hybrid configuration reduces cost, simplifies the manufacturing process, and can improve system reliability by employing a minimum number of parts. The assembly can be integrated with the sensor unit, which may be used in vehicles and other systems.

Abstract: A console assembly for a vehicle includes a compartment side wall. The compartment side wall extends from a compartment floor to an upper rim of the compartment side wall. The console assembly includes a receptacle side wall that extends upward from a receptacle floor of the console assembly to define a receptacle. The console assembly further includes a panel that has opposite first and second sides. The panel is pivotable between a first position and a second position. In the first position of the panel, the panel, the compartment side wall, and the compartment floor define a compartment of the console assembly, and the first side of the panel faces the compartment. In the second position, the panel covers the receptacle of the console assembly and a surface of the first side of the panel is substantially planar with a surface of the compartment floor.

Abstract: Disclosed are laser modules for laser systems and methods thereof that expand options for clinicians when using lasers in medical procedures such as holmium lasers in urological procedures. A laser module includes independently drivable laser-producing assemblies, laser optics, and a driver for driving the laser-producing assemblies. Each laser-producing assembly includes an optical resonator having a gain medium set among resonator optics for directing light through the gain medium for amplification of the light by stimulated emission. The laser optics combines two or more input laser beams produced by the laser-producing assemblies into a combined laser beam having a pulse energy, a pulse width, or a pulse repetition frequency resulting from a combination of the two-or-more input laser beams. The laser optics also directs at least a portion of the combined laser beam through an outlet of the laser module as an output laser beam.
