Abstract: A robot arm comprising: a first link connected to a second link by a joint, the joint permitting the second link to move relative to the first link; a motor for driving the joint; and a controller for controlling the motor. The controller is configured to electrically brake the motor in response to detection of a fault in the robot arm by applying a braking current to the motor so as to maintain the position of the joint against gravity. The controller only performs this electrical braking if the joint is in a configuration in which the robot arm will droop under gravity if the joint is not actively driven.

Input derived from the eye tracking system may be used to enter commands to the surgical robotic system depending on the directions of the gaze detected or other aspects of the gaze such as pupil dilation or speed of eye movement.

Abstract: A system and method for determining abnormal conditions based on signals received from smart devices. The method includes receiving, via a controller and transmitted via one or more devices, one or more first signals indicative of one or more first statuses of the one or more devices. The method includes determining, via the controller and based on the one or more first statuses, a base model. The method includes receiving, via the controller and transmitted via the one or more devices, one or more second signals indicative of one or more second statuses of the one or more devices. The method includes comparing, via the controller, the one or more statuses to the base model and determining, via the controller and based on the comparison, an occurrence of an abnormal condition.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for automatically executing scripts for event in response to user activity within the event. A server executing a video conferencing service, receives meeting scheduling information and a set of user-specified scripting information from a user requesting to generate an event. In response to receiving a request from user device to access the event, the server causes display of an event interface to the device, the displayed interface including indications of sub-groups of a group of users accessing the conferencing service via a plurality of user devices and an indication of a video feed of a user in the group of users that is currently active. In response to one or more triggers corresponding to the event, one or more scripts are executed for the event, where executing the one or more scripts includes altering the displayed interface.

Abstract: A cooling assembly includes an evaporator containing a primary cooling medium, a passive condenser, and a heat exchanger. When a secondary cooling medium is provided to the heat exchanger, the primary cooling medium in the gas phase switches from being received by the passive condenser to the heat exchanger without operating any valves located between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger. The primary cooling medium circulates between the evaporator and the passive condenser and between the evaporator and the heat exchanger by natural circulation and gravity without a pump in the flow path of the primary cooling medium between the heat exchanger and the evaporator and between the passive condenser and the evaporator to circulate the primary cooling medium.
