Filed: 2017-07-27
Abstract: A drive assembly is locatable at or towards a distal end of a surgical robot arm. The drive assembly comprises a drive assembly interface which is engageable with a surgical instrument comprising an end effector so as to transfer drive between the drive assembly and the instrument. The drive assembly interface comprises a drive assembly interface element movable relative to the drive assembly interface and engageable with a corresponding instrument interface element provided on the instrument. The drive assembly comprises a sensor for sensing the position of the drive assembly interface element. The drive assembly is configured to drive the drive assembly interface element to an interfacing position for engaging with the instrument interface element and the sensor is configured to determine whether the drive assembly interface element is in its interfacing position.

Abstract: A NVM switch has been designed that allows multiple hosts to simultaneously and independently access a single port NVM device. While this active-active multi-host usage configuration allows for a variety of uses of lower cost single port NVM device, an issue with one of the hosts can delay or block transactions between the other host and the NVM device. The NVM switch includes logic that isolates activity of the multiple hosts despite logic of the switch being shared across the hosts. When the switch detects an issue with one host ("error host"), the switch clears the in-flight commands of the error host and flushes data of the error host. Likewise, the NVM switch ensure proper communication of error reporting from attached NVM devices to the multiple hosts.

Abstract: A post designed for sign or guide marker use having sufficient longitudinal rigidity to withstand a force driving it into the ground and sufficient elastic character to permit nondestructive deformation upon impact by a moving object, with subsequent restoration to an original, upright position. Various construction materials and/or structural configurations are disclosed for obtaining this dual character without incurring high production and material cost. By employing a structural configuration whose moment of inertia decreases due to deformation at a cross section, post flexibility improves to preclude sheering during impact.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the alignment and testing of workpieces, in particular in a processing machine such as a lathe or milling machine. Such a device serves to align workpieces so that a prescribed processing operation can be undertaken in the desired fashion. It can also subsequently be tested by means of such a device whether, for example, a processed surface has been processed in the desired fashion. To date, such adjustment and alignment of workpieces has been complicated, so that the aim is to simplify and shorten the alignment of workpieces in terms of time. For this purpose, a device according to the preamble is equipped with a compact aligning unit (10) having at least one external reference surface (16, 18), having at least one illuminating arrangement (24), which produces a sharply focused measuring beam (42, 44) and has a light source (26) whose beam direction (36) has a predetermined alignment relative to the reference surfaces (16, 18), the measuring beam (42, 44) being structured perpendicular to its beam direction (36) by at least two preferred directions, and having measuring elements (52, 54) arranged in accordance with the preferred directions, and with at least one reflection surface (46), arranged on measuring surfaces (41) of the workpiece, for reflecting the measuring beam (42, 44). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for eliminating the effects of a spurious free induction decay (FID) NMR signal due to imperfect 180° RF pulses comprises applying a large magnitude, short duration magnetic field gradient pulse, termed the "crusher" pulse immediately following the 180° pulse. When the method is employed with NMR pulse sequences in which the 180° pulse is part of a spin echo type refocusing RF pulse sequence, the 180° pulse is preceded by a magnetic field gradient pulse termed the "primer", having an equal integral with respect to time as the crusher pulse. The method is effective in removing NMR image artifacts produced by spurious FID in both planar and three-dimensional NMR imaging methods.

Abstract: An analogue-to-digital current converter comprises n series-connected stages which each provide one bit of the Gray code. For this purpose each stage m derives a difference current from the input current (i l/m ), which is the output current (i o/m-1 ) of the preceding stage, and a reference current (l/2 m-1 ) from a source (6), which difference current flows to the output (3) of the stage m (i o/m ) either via a diode (3) or via a current-mirror circuit (11) depending on its direction. Conduction of the diode (3) or of the current-mirror circuit (11) is used for the bit indication. 
     This results in a very fast analogue-to-digital converter with few components and a high accuracy and resolution (Fig. 6).

Abstract: A static RAM cell (11) is constructed utilizing low resistivity positive and negative power supply leads (13, 14), thus eliminating the problem of instability of the data stored within the cell. The negative power supply lead is formed of a first layer of low resistivity polycrystalline silicon/tantalum silicide, and the positive power supply lead is formed of a second layer of polycrystalline silicon. By the use of a low resistivity negative power supply lead, the voltage drop on the negative power supply lead is substantially reduced as compared with prior art devices, thereby providing during the read operation substantially equal voltages to the gates of the two bistable transistors of each cell, thus eliminating the problem of instability during reading.Depletion load devices (11, 12) are formed utilizing the layer of polycrystalline silicon as the source, drain and channel and the layer of polycrystalline silicon/tantalum <sub>I</sub> silioide as the gate. In this manner, silicon area is not <sub>I</sub> required to form the depletion load devices, thus minimizing cell size.
