Abstract: A medical device comprises an end effector, a mechanical structure, a connector, and a force sensor unit. The connector extends from a drive component of the mechanical structure to the end effector. Motion of the drive component produces a tension force within the connector, which is associated with an end effector torque or force exerted by the end effector. The force sensor unit comprises a body, and the body is coupled in-line with the connector so that strain in the connector is imparted to the body. A strain sensor measures the strain on the body as an indication of strain in the connector, which is an indication of torque or force at the end effector. The connector may be continuous, and coupled to the body with a slack relief portion of the connector within the body. Alternatively, the connector may be discontinuous and coupled to opposite ends of the body.

Abstract: A display panel and a display device are provided. A light-controlling component configured to adjust a signal transmitter is disposed on a light-emitting surface of the signal transmitter of the display panel, thereby allowing modulated light, emitted from the signal transmitter disposed at a predetermined included angle with respect to a bottom surface of a cover plate, to be totally reflected between a top surface and the bottom surface of the cover plate. Total reflection is interrupted at a position where a user's finger touches. Light is received and recognized by a plurality of light sensors on a sensor array after entering the display panel, thereby realizing under-display fingerprint recognition in a large area.
