POWERED SURGICAL INSTRUMENT

A method of operating a surgical instrument is disclosed. The surgical instrument includes an electronic system comprising an electric motor coupled to the end effector; a motor controller coupled to the motor; a parameter threshold detection module configured to monitor multiple parameter thresholds; a sensing module configured to sense tissue compression; a processor coupled to the parameter threshold detection module and the motor controller; and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory stores executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to monitor multiple levels of action thresholds and monitor speed of the motor and increment a drive unit of the motor, sense tissue compression, and provide rate and control feedback to the user of the surgical instrument.

SMART BUILDING SCORE INTERFACE

A system and approach for observing how smart an enterprise is performing comparatively across a relevant industry. It may be model based, using dynamic data to observe the performance of the enterprise, such as one or more buildings. The system and approach may use a smart building score in view of metrics based off of comprehensive pillars or categories, including, for example, those of people, process, assets, environment and connectivity. An overall smart building score may be developed from the smart building scores of the categories. The scores may be observed on a dashboard. Changes in the scores may reveal variations of the enterprise in a real time manner.

Data processing user interface monitoring systems and related methods

In various embodiments, a system may be configured to analyze data for a particular consent capture point to identify a change in consent capture rate from the capture point. The system may, for example, be configured to automatically detect that the system has stopped receiving consent records from a particular capture point. In such embodiments, the system may be configured to generate an alert, and transmit the alert to any suitable individual (e.g., privacy team member, IT department member, etc.) regarding the capture point. The system may, for example, enable an entity to identify one or more capture points that may have become non-functional (e.g., as a result of one or more changes to the capture point).
