  • Patent number: 11426180
    Abstract: A surgical system for penetrating and determining a characteristic of tissue. An instrument generates rotational torque, and a drill bit tool body extends along an axis between a distal end to engage tissue and a proximal end to couple to the instrument. An emitter operatively coupled to the instrument emits light. A detector operatively coupled to the instrument detects light. An emission lightguide within the tool body transmits light emitted by the emitter toward the tissue as the instrument rotates the tool body. A detection lightguide within the tool body is spaced from the emission lightguide and transmit light reflected by the tissue toward the detector as the instrument rotates the tool body. The emitter emits light into the emission lightguide along the axis, and the detector detects light reflected from the tissue exiting the detection lightguide transverse to the axis when the tool body is coupled to the instrument.

  • Patent number: 11188133
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes a system 400 for transmitting power to a remote Power over Ethernet (PoE) subsystem by forwarding Powered Device (PD) input voltage where the subsystem includes a PD and a Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device. Included is a master PSE device 402, a first subsystem 410, and a second subsystem 428. The first subsystem 410 includes a first PD 418 that includes a first power switching device 426 and a first PSE device 424. The first power switching device 426 forwards the input power from the first PD 418 to the first PSE 424 without disturbing the PoE handshaking between the devices. The first power switching device 426 uses a switching device with level detection that detects the required input voltage. The second subsystem 428 receives the power from the first subsystem's 410 first PSE device 424. And the second subsystem 428 operates in a manner similar to the first subsystem 410.
