| 20100174410 | METHODS, DEVICES, AND SYSTEMS FOR AUTMATED MOVEMENTS INVOLVING MEDICAL ROBOTS - Methods, devices (such as computer readable media), and systems (such as computer systems) for defining and executing automated movements using robotic arms (such as robotic arms configured for use in performing surgical procedures), so that a remotely-located surgeon is relieved from causing the robotic arm to perform the automated movement through movement of an input device such as a hand controller. | 07-08-2010 |
| 20100198402 | METHODS, DEVICES, AND SYSTEMS FOR NON-MECHANICALLY RESTRICTING AND/OR PROGRAMMING MOVEMENT OF A TOOL OF A MANIPULATOR ALONG A SINGLE AXIS - Methods, devices (such as computer readable media), and systems (such as computer systems) for performing movements of a tool of a medical robot along a single axis that are achieved by electronically limiting the medical robot's movement to produce movement of the tool along the single axis rather than mechanically restricting the medical robot's movement to produce the single axis movement. The tool's movement will be along the single axis even if a user is moving an input device linked to the medical robot in other axes during the single axis movement. In addition, techniques are disclosed for automating the single axis movement such that it can be programmed to stop at a target location and start at or near a second (e.g., starting) location, which is useful for a procedure such as a brain biopsy, breast biopsy or implantation, and such that a user can execute a command instructing the medical robot to perform the movement without the need for the user to manipulate an input device to cause real-time responsive movement of the medical robot. | 08-05-2010 |
| 20100245543 | MRI COMPATIBLE CAMERA THAT INCLUDES A LIGHT EMITTING DIODE FOR ILLUMINATING A SITE - Systems and methods of using MR-compatible cameras to view magnetic resonance imaging procedures. The MR-compatible camera systems may include a casing with at least two openings, including one oriented to permit a camera to view a site, and another opening oriented to permit a light source to illuminate a portion of the site. The camera systems may be used with either closed bore or open bore MRI systems. | 09-30-2010 |
| 20100286669 | DEVICES FOR INTERFACING BETWEEN MANIPULATORS AND SURGICAL TOOLS - A device, system and method for interfacing between an end effector of a manipulator and a surgical tool. Embodiments may include an upper tool holder element and a lower tool holder element. Embodiments may also include a drape between the end effector and the manipulator. Embodiments may also include two force sensors and a coupling arranged in a force sensor system for use with an end effector that includes a tool roll driver. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20100296723 | Methods, Devices, and Systems Useful in Registration - Methods, devices, and systems for use in accomplishing registration of a patient to a robot to facilitate image guided surgical procedures, such as stereotactic procedures. | 11-25-2010 |

| 20100253136 | Metering Check Valve for Active Brake Pads Retraction System - In an active brake pads retraction system, the improvement is a metering check valve which limits the retraction. The metering check valve is interfaced with an anti-lock brake system (ABS), disposed in the hydraulic brake line between the brakes apply system of the ABS and a caliper member of the ABS located at each brake corner. Brake pads are retracted with respect to the brake rotor responsive to predetermined conditions of the motor vehicle in which braking is not required, wherein a retraction volume within the metering check valve limits the amount of brake pads retraction. | 10-07-2010 |
