  • Publication number: 20200197027
    Abstract: A surgical system comprises a handpiece and a battery. The handpiece includes a body, a handpiece controller, and a handpiece connector with a first coupler, a handpiece voltage terminal, and a handpiece data terminal. The battery has a housing, a cell, a battery controller, and a battery connector with a second coupler to rotatably engage the first coupler, a battery voltage terminal, and a battery data terminal. The second coupler receives the first coupler at an initial radial position and permits rotation to a first secured radial position and a second secured radial position. Rotation from the initial radial position to the first secured radial position engages the voltage terminals to transmit power between the cell and the handpiece controller, and rotation to the second secured radial position engages the data terminals to communicate data between the controllers while maintaining engagement between the voltage terminals.

  • Publication number: 20200142084
    Abstract: An imaging system includes a first mask unit having a hollow cavity surrounding a rotational axis. The first mask unit is characterized by a first pattern encoded on its surface. The first pattern defines a height along an axial direction and includes a respective plurality of elements with at least one open element and at least one blocking element in each of the axial direction and the circumferential direction. A detector is configured to receive radiation data from at least one source such that one of the detector and the source is located inside the hollow cavity and another is located outside the hollow cavity. The first mask unit is configured to move relative to the rotational axis in at least one of the axial and circumferential direction until the first pattern is recorded in 360 degrees. A second mask unit may be positioned around the first mask unit.

  • Publication number: 20190254223
    Abstract: The disclosed apparatus, systems and methods relate to devices, systems and methods for on-the-go monitoring and controlled feedback in a supplemental downforce application. Certain implementations provide real-time monitoring of furrow depth via contact and non-contact approaches, some of which are combined with gauge wheel feedback to calibrate and otherwise control the application of supplemental downforce to the row unit. A combination of sensor types are employed in collecting furrow depth measurements, which can be used to adjust the supplemental downforce through a control system module. A gauge wheel load sensor may be used to modify the application of supplemental downforce.

  • Patent number: 10270984
    Abstract: A video recording device is described having an orientation sensor. The recording device rotates video data received from an image sensor according to signals received from the orientation sensor. The rotation occurs before the video data is compressed according to a video codec and stored on a tangible storage device. By rotating the video data before compression, the need for intensive, post-capture video rotation on the compressed video file is eliminated.
