Abstract: A steerable catheter distal tip for performing sensor assisted navigation for a catheter assembly and a robotically assisted interventional device. The steerable catheter distal tip for performing sensor assisted navigation includes an ultrasonic transducer system arranged to surround a circumference of the catheter distal tip, wherein the ultrasonic transducer system is operable to generate distance signals indicative of distances between a plurality of sensing locations on the circumference of the catheter distal tip from walls of a cavity in which the catheter distal tip is located in operation; and a signal processing unit comprising a controller, which is operable to cause the catheter distal tip being steered along a defined navigation path based on the distance signals.

Abstract: A temperature detector for detecting a temperature of a terminal of a connector includes a heat conducting member including a cylindrical portion and a connecting tab connected to the cylindrical portion, and a temperature sensor inserted into the cylindrical portion of the heat conducting member. The connecting tab has a through hole receiving a bolt that fastens the heat conducting member to the terminal to create thermal contact between the heat conducting member and the terminal. The temperature sensor is in thermal contact with an inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion of the heat conducting member or is thermally connected to the inner peripheral wall of the cylindrical portion of the heat conducting member by a thermally conductive adhesive.

Abstract: An electrical power connector includes a connector housing having a slot at a mating end of the connector housing configured to receive a power distribution assembly. The electrical power connector includes power contacts received in the connector housing configured to be is coupled to a power distribution contact of the power distribution assembly. The electrical power connector includes a monitoring device having a monitoring circuit, a monitoring sensor coupled to the monitoring circuit, and a monitoring transmitter coupled to the monitoring circuit. The monitoring sensor is coupled to the power contact to monitor an operating characteristic of the power contact. The monitoring circuit receives sensor signals from the monitoring sensor and the monitoring transmitter transmits monitoring signals from the monitoring circuit based on the operating characteristic of the power contact to a monitoring network remote from the electrical power connector.
