Abstract: A measurement circuit that is configured to provide a torque reading to a motion controller includes an offset controller and an amplifier. The offset controller is configured to read a temperature signal and to generate an offset voltage in response to receiving the temperature signal. The amplifier is configured to read a differential voltage from a differential sensor and to receive the offset voltage from the offset controller. The amplifier is also configured to add the offset voltage to the differential voltage after applying a gain to the differential voltage to generate an adjusted voltage. The amplifier is then configured to transmit the adjusted voltage.

Abstract: A powered surgical system includes an instrument drive unit and an instrument configured to couple to the instrument drive unit. The system also includes a detection circuit configured to supply input signal to the instrument and to output one of a first value indicating a connection of the instrument or a second value indicating a disconnection of the instrument in an asymmetric-in-time hysteresis manner. The connection of the instrument is detected within a first interval and the disconnection of the instrument is detected after expiration of a second interval that is longer than the first interval.

Abstract: A robotic surgical system includes a surgical instrument defining a first longitudinal axis and a robotic surgical assembly defining a second longitudinal axis. The robotic surgical assembly includes an instrument drive unit configured for selectively receiving and driving the surgical instrument. The robotic surgical assembly defines a side opening having an insertion axis that is angled with respect to the second longitudinal axis.

Abstract: A robotic surgical system includes a slide rail, a surgical instrument, and a robotic surgical assembly. The robotic surgical assembly is coupled to the slide rail and translatable along the slide rail between a first position and a second position. The robotic surgical assembly is coupled to the surgical instrument. The robotic surgical assembly, or a portion thereof, is configured to automatically rotate to a predetermined orientation relative to the slide rail when the robotic surgical assembly is disposed at the first position to enable the surgical instrument to be selectively uncoupled from the robotic surgical assembly.

Abstract: An instrument drive unit includes a housing defining a central longitudinal axis; an inertial measurement unit disposed within the housing and configured to determine a pose of the instrument drive unit; and a controller disposed within the housing, the controller configured to receive the pose of the instrument drive unit from the inertial measurement unit and to generate a corrected output signal which compensates for the pose of the instrument drive unit.

Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a nexus and a first, a second, a third, and a fourth circuit board. Each of the first and second circuit boards is coupled to opposing sides of the nexus, and each of the third and fourth circuit boards is coupled to opposing sides of the second circuit board. The integrated circuit is transitionable between a first, open configuration, in which the first, second, third and fourth circuit boards and the nexus are substantially coplanar, and a second configuration, in which the first, second, third and fourth circuit boards and the nexus are coupled to one another to define a cavity therein.

Abstract: An apparatus for feeding media to an internal drum imaging system includes a pair of parallel rails secured to a support frame that is mechanically isolated from the imaging system. The tracks are parallel to the outer circumferential edges of the internal drum. The feeding apparatus further includes a plurality of media engagement means movably coupled between the tracks. The engagement means are adapted to transport the medium to and from the internal drum along the tracks. Each engagement means includes a rail extending between the tracks and a pair of drive means pivotally connected to the ends of the rail for advancing the rail along the tracks. Each engagement means further includes a lifting means for raising and lowering the rail and a coupling means disposed to the undersurface of the rail for securing the media to the rail.
