IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2017-04-13
Abstract: Various examples are directed to systems and methods for operating a surgical instrument comprising a firing member translatable proximally and distally along a longitudinal axis between a stroke begin position to a stroke end position distal of the stroke begin position; a knife coupled to the firing member; and a motor coupled to the firing member to translate the firing member between the stroke begin position and the stroke end position. A control circuit may receive a firing signal and begin a firing member stroke by providing an initial motor setting to the motor. The control circuit may maintain the initial motor setting for an open-loop portion of the firing member stroke. The control circuit may receive energy data describing energy provided to the motor during the open-loop portion of the firing member stroke and may select a firing control program based at least in part on the energy data.

Abstract: An improved device for regenerating an infrared signal transmitted over the air for use in detecting a 3-dimensional position of an object (1608, 1662). The regeneration device includes an infrared signal transmitter (1602) and detector (1664) that receives from the object a responsive infrared signal in response to the infrared signal transmitted by the transmitter. A low pass filter (1668) receives the responsive infrared signal from the detector and outputs a low-pass filtered signal. A comparator (1670) compares the output of the infrared signal detector and output of the low pass filter (1668) and generates an output representing a logic state based on the comparison.
