Title: Surgical manipulator for a telerobotic system
Inventor: JENSEN JOEL F
IPC: B25J18/04
Filed: 1996-06-05
Abstract: The invention is directed to manipulator assembly (2) for holding and manipulating a surgical instrument (14) in a telerobotic system. The manipulator assembly includes an instrument holder removably coupled to a drive assembly so that the holder can be sterilized. The assembly further includes a force sensing element (52) mounted distal to the holder and the drive assembly for detecting forces exerted on the surgical instrument and providing feedback to the surgeon. The invention is also directed to a system and method for releasably holding a surgical instrument (14). The system includes an instrument support for automatically locking mounting pins on the instrument within locking slots on the instrument holder to releasably couple the instrument to the holder. With a twist-lock motion, the surgeon can rapidly engage and disengage various instruments from the holder during a surgical procedure, such as open surgery, laparoscopy or thoracoscopy.

IPC: C40B40/06
Filed: 2010-10-29
Abstract: The invention provides nucleic acid hybridization methods for detecting target nucleic acid sequences wherein complexes comprising nanoparticles non-covalently associated with single-stranded target nucleic acid molecules are incubated with immobilized probe nucleic acid molecules. Because the nanoparticles function as competitors in the hybridization reaction between the target nucleic acid molecules and the probe nucleic acid molecules, the methods provide a high degree of discrimination between a perfectly matched target sequence and a sequence having at least a single-base-pair mismatch, even when the hybridization reaction is performed at room temperature. The invention also provides microarray methods and apparatus which incorporate the nanoparticle-assisted hybridization methods.

Abstract: The structures of oil paths and switching control of a mechanical selector valve for controlling a hydraulic actuator and the cost of parts of the mechanical selector valve are respectively simplified and reduced to levels not achievable by an electromagnetic selector valve.  However, simple and quick switching operation of the mechanical selector valve by the use of a nearby switch which requires small force to actuate is difficult, and this makes the mechanical selector valve less easy to operate than the electromagnetic selector valve. A selector valve operating mechanism (110) is provided with operating pistons (176, 179) which are hydraulic pistons connected through an operation link (161) to a spool (145) of a PTO selector valve (240), an solenoid valve (113) for hydraulically controlling reciprocation of the operating pistons (176, 179), and a controller (123) which is a control device for transmitting an operation signal to the solenoid valve (113). Control of operation of the solenoid valve (113) moves the spool (145) through the operating pistons (176, 179) and the operation link (161) to switch the PTO selector valve (240).

Abstract: A speed changer assembly for changing the rotational speed of an engine's (or other prime mover's) output to that required by the input of a process machine. In operation, a first gear is in meshing engagement with an idler gear, which in turn, is in meshing engagement with a second gear. When operation of the speed changer assembly is halted, the idler gear is pivotable about one of the first and second gears. A centre distance between the idler gear and the gear about which the idler gear is pivoted remains constant while the centre distance between the idler gear and the other gear is varied. The idler gear is taken out of meshing engagement with the other gear, permitting replacement of said other gear. The idler gear is then pivoted to establish meshing engagement with the replacement gear and the speed changer is configured with a new speed ratio.
