TORQUE OPTIMIZATION FOR SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS

A control system having speed management control. The control system can be in signal communication with a battery, and the battery can be coupled to a motor. The speed management control can include a pulse width modulation circuit, which can control the duration of pulses supplied from the battery to the motor. The motor can include a primary set of coils and a secondary set of coils. The control system can direct surplus current to the secondary set of coils to maximize the torque generated by the motor.

PATIENT DATABASE ANALYTICS

Systems and methods are provided for improved analytics user interfaces. A clinician can use user interfaces and analytics to review different aspects of patient care in a clinical setting, such as information about one or more patients in the clinical setting. The improved user interfaces identify patients with physiological profiles as specified by a clinician. The improved user interfaces present physiological events for a patient with the particular physiological profiles. The improved user interfaces present trends and analytics of particular physiological parameters for a particular patient in a specific time range.

Substrate processing apparatus and method

A substrate processing apparatus, provided with a substrate carrier support to support a substrate carrier thereon. The carrier support comprises a top support surface to support the substrate carrier; a thermally insulating body of thermally insulating material; and, a primary heater to heat the carrier support. The thermally insulating body is provided at least between the support surface and the primary heater.

METHOD FOR DEPOSITING OXIDE FILM BY PEALD USING NITROGEN

A method of depositing an oxide film on a template for patterning in semiconductor fabrication, includes: (i) providing a template having patterned structures thereon in a reaction space; and (ii) depositing an oxide film on the template by plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) using nitrogen gas as a carrier gas and also as a dilution gas, thereby entirely covering with the oxide film an exposed top surface of the template and the patterned structures.

Substrate support unit, thin film deposition apparatus including the same, and substrate processing apparatus including the same

A substrate support unit for thin film deposition on a substrate including a pattern structure and a thin film deposition apparatus including the substrate support unit includes a heater; an RF electrode; a first rod connected to the heater; a second rod connected to the RF electrode; and an RF shield spaced apart from the second rod, disposed to surround the second rod, and extending in an extension direction of the second rod.

Systems and instruments for tissue sealing

Provided is a robotic system that includes a surgical instrument with a wrist including an elongate shaft extending between a proximal end and a distal end, a wrist extending from the distal end of the elongate shaft, and an end effector extending from the wrist. The end effector may include a first jaw and a second jaw, the first and second jaw being moveable between an open position in which ends of the jaws are separated from each other, and a closed position in which the ends of the jaws are closer to each other as compared to the open position. The surgical instrument may also include at least one rotary cutter extending from the wrist and positioned at least partially within a recess formed in a face of the first jaw.

Many task computing with message passing interface

An apparatus includes a processor to: receive a request to perform a set of tasks; analyze input data objects used as inputs and output data objects generated as outputs by the set of tasks to identify at least one dependency between tasks and at least one pair of tasks performable in parallel; determine an order of performance of the set of tasks; retrieve executable instructions of a corresponding set of task routines that define input interfaces and output interfaces for the input data objects and output data objects, respectively; generate a job flow definition defining the order of performance, each input interface and each output interface; use the job flow definition to perform the set of tasks; and transmit one of the output data objects to the requesting device as a result report serving as the output of the set of tasks.

Methods and systems for determining spatial patterns of biological targets in a sample

The present disclosure provides methods and assay systems for use in spatially encoded biological assays, including assays to determine a spatial pattern of abundance, expression, and/or activity of one or more biological targets across multiple sites in a sample. In particular, the biological targets comprise proteins, and the methods and assay systems do not depend on imaging techniques for the spatial information of the targets. The present disclosure provides methods and assay systems capable of high levels of multiplexing where reagents are provided to a biological sample in order to address tag the sites to which reagents are delivered; instrumentation capable of controlled delivery of reagents; and a decoding scheme providing a readout that is digital in nature.

Consent receipt management systems and related methods

A consent receipt management and data processing system may be configured to provide a centralized repository of consent receipt preferences for a plurality of data subjects. In various embodiments, the system is configured to provide an interface to the plurality of data subjects for modifying consent preferences and capture consent preference changes. The system may provide the ability to track the consent status of pending and confirmed consents. In other embodiments, the system may provide a centralized repository of consent receipts that a third-party system may reference when taking one or more actions related to a processing activity.

Canary release validation mechanisms for a containerized application or service mesh

Systems and methods provide for validating a canary release of containers in a containerized production environment. A first container of the containerized production environment can receive network traffic. The first container can transmit the network traffic to a first version of a second container of the containerized production environment and to a traffic analysis engine. First metrics relating to processing by the first version of the second container can be captured. The traffic analysis engine can determine one or more traffic patterns included in the network traffic. The traffic analysis engine can cause simulated network traffic corresponding to the one or more traffic patterns to be transmitted to a second version (e.g., a canary release) of the containerized production environment. Second metrics relating to processing by the second version of the second container can be captured. A comparison between the first metrics and the second metrics can be presented.
