Surgical stapling device with articulation lock assembly

A surgical stapling device includes a body portion that defines a longitudinal axis and a tool assembly that articulates about an axis transverse to the longitudinal axis. An articulation link assembly is supported in the body portion and is movable between retracted and advanced positions to pivot the tool assembly between a non-articulated position and articulated positions. The articulation assembly supports an articulation lock assembly that is movable from a locked position to an unlocked position in response to longitudinal movement of the articulation assembly to facilitate articulation of the tool assembly. The articulation lock assembly stabilize the articulation link assembly within the body portion when the surgical stapling device is fired to minimize occurrence of tremors in the tool assembly.

SURGICAL INSTRUMENT WITH ADAPTIVE MOTOR CONTROL

A surgical instrument receives an indication to provide adaptive control of surgical instrument functions. The indication may indicate to provide adaptable staple height operating range, to control motors associated with tissue compression, and/or to operate using the operational parameters associated with previous surgical procedures. The surgical instrument may determine values for parameters associated with the identified function and adapt the control of the identified function based upon the determined parameters. The surgical instrument may adapt a display of staple height operating range based on parameters indicating a size of an anvil head. The surgical instrument may control motors associated with tissue compression based on parameters indicating force applied in the instrument. The surgical instrument may operate according to operational parameters identified by a surgical hub.

INDUSTRIAL DIGITAL TWIN SYSTEMS AND METHODS WITH ECHELONS OF EXECUTIVE, ADVISORY AND OPERATIONS MESSAGING AND VISUALIZATION

An industrial plant operation management platform integrating a set of executive digital twins that take data from an intelligent data and networking pipeline to provide role-specific features, including AI-enabled expert agent features and enhanced collaboration features, and salient views of the entities and workflows of an industrial plant operation, thereby enabling executives to monitor and control entities and workflows to an unprecedented degree at appropriate levels of granularity and using familiar taxonomies and decision-making frameworks.

Communication capability of a smart stapler

A surgical instrument may have multiple operating modes. An instrument operation mode may be selected from multiple operation modes, which may be preconfigured, dynamically updated, semi-dynamically updated, periodically updated, or preset. Multi-modal instrument operation may control the availability, access, level of use, level of interaction and/or support for one or more capabilities available through an instrument. A multi-modal surgical instrument may be fully operational in multiple modes of operation while varying one or more capabilities based on a mode of operation, such as one or more of sensors, communications, user-instrument interaction, displays, data storage, data access, data aggregation, data analytics, surgical support, feedback, surgical recommendations, etc. An instrument may be configured to determine an operation mode based on one or more instrument operation control parameters, such as system capabilities, system capacity parameters, system condition parameters, system authorization parameters, and/or external control parameters.

Spatial analysis to detect sequence variants

Provided herein are methods of detecting an analyte of interest to interrogate spatial gene expression in a sample.

Spatial transcriptomics for antigen-receptors

Provided herein are methods, compositions, and kits for the detection of immune cell clonotypes and immune cell analytes within a biological sample.

Endoscope for sensing trocars, compatible cannulas, instruments and accessories

Disclosed are systems and methods for an endoscope or other surgical instruments to automatically sense when it's placed inside or outside of a trocar or a cannula. Operational setting of the endoscope may be adjusted as a function of the detected environmental condition to improve the function of the endoscope and the safety of a surgical procedure. The endoscope may include a sensor to sense a tag embedded in a trocar or cannula. The endoscope may transmit sensing information to a controller of a surgical robotic system to indicate that the endoscope has been inserted into the trocar or cannula. The controller may generate configuration information corresponding to the sensed state. The controller may transmit the configuration information to the endoscope to configure the endoscope to operate in the state. In another aspect, the endoscope may wirelessly communicate with another surgical instrument to receive operational information from the surgical instrument.

Intelligent monitoring and testing system for cable network

An intelligent monitoring and testing system for a cable network determines measurements for a cable plant (CP), including cable modems (CMs) and common network elements, Metrics determined from the measurements are analyzed to detect a service issue and a service sub-issue. Machine learning is applied to the metrics and other related data to determine an optimized workflow for diagnosing, locating, and remediating the service issue and service sub-issue.
