  • Publication number: 20240342916
    Abstract: An articulation assembly for a robotic surgical instrument includes a plurality of rotatable but longitudinally fixed lead screws extending between first and second base plates, a collar threaded about each lead screws and configured to translate therealong in response to rotation of the corresponding lead screw, an articulation cable coupled to each collar and defining or having a threaded shaft, and a threaded nipple threaded about each of the threaded shafts. Each threaded nipple is engaged with one of the collars to thereby engage each of the articulation cables with a corresponding one of the collars such that longitudinal translation of the corresponding collar pushes or pulls the corresponding articulation cable. Each threaded nipple is configured for further threading or unthreading about the corresponding threaded shaft to vary a pre-tension on the corresponding articulation cable.

  • Patent number: 12073234
    Abstract: Disclosed are methods and systems for managing mixed-reality systems. These methods or systems identify, at a management software application, a set of managed mixed-reality devices and validate a device management license against a managed mixed-reality device in the set of managed mixed-reality devices. Whether a software application installed or to be installed on the managed mixed-reality device is amenable to a software management function is verified based at least in part upon an operation mode of the managed mixed-reality device and a profile that is applied to the managed mixed-reality device or is associated with the authorized user. The software management function is programmatically performed by the management software application for the software application based at least in part upon a result of verifying whether the software application is amenable to the software management operation.

  • Patent number: 12055999
    Abstract: The reliability of an application is improved by analyzing and implementing changes to application infrastructure that is represented, in some examples, as Infrastructure as Code (“IAC”). The system performs various tests on the infrastructure to determine how the infrastructure responds to failures and whether recovery procedures and monitoring services in place are effective and functioning properly. Various examples provide a measure of infrastructure resiliency that can be used to evaluate potential changes to application infrastructure.

  • Publication number: 20240227741
    Abstract: Revving an engine may be helpful in various contexts, such as when servicing the vehicle. For example, in some types of services, a cleaning agent may be introduced into the intake and surrounding regions of an engine, and the engine may be revved to reduce a likelihood that the cleaning agent might puddle. In some instances, a device can be positioned within a vehicle interior and can be used to automatically rev the vehicle engine by depressing on the vehicle throttle.

  • Patent number: 11900042
    Abstract: In some aspects, a mask pattern is accessed. The mask pattern is for use in a lithography process that prints a pattern on a wafer. The mask pattern is applied as input to a deterministic model of the lithography process to predict a characteristic of the printed pattern. The deterministic model is deterministic, but it accounts for local stochastic variations of the characteristic in the printed pattern.

  • Publication number: 20240001582
    Abstract: A deduster is comprised of two sets (pairs) of counter-rotating dedusting brushes in cooperation with a vacuum system for saw dust removal from wooden lumber. In addition to these features, the deduster may feature a separate, movable, top brush assembly that can be easily adjusted for different board thicknesses and raised up to allow for clearing board jams and for pass-through if boards were to be run without dedusting. This deduster apparatus is modular, thereby allowing it to be positioned over an existing machine or a lumber board unscrambler machine such as a lugged unscrambler machine. There is also a deduster for a board handling hopper.

  • Publication number: 20230397579
    Abstract: Technologies are described herein for an automated chicken sorting conveyor belt system. Conveyor belts that move chicks from a loading area into bins move laterally (or horizontally) as the chicks fill up the bins. This reduces various impact, acceleration, and other forces imparted on the chicks.
