Camera referenced control in a minimally invasive surgical apparatus

Enhanced telepresence and telesurgery systems automatically update coordinate transformations so as to retain alignment between movement of an input device and movement of an end effector as displayed adjacent the input device. A processor maps a controller workspace with an end effector workspace, and effects movement of the end effector in response to the movement of the input device. This allows the use of kinematically dissimilar master and slave linkages. Gripping an input member near a gimbal point and appropriate input member to end effector mapping points enhance the operator's control. Dexterity is enhanced by accurately tracking orientational and / or angles of movement, even if linear movement distances of the end effector do not correspond to those of the input device.

Communication path calculation method and module

The present invention relates to a communication path calculation method and module. More particularly, the present invention provides a communication path calculation method and module that are implemented or incorporated in a transmission apparatus including a ROADM or the like which performs WDM communication, advertises information on a wavelength which can be added or dropped, as information on a link, and uses the information to autonomously calculate a communication path. Optical transmission equipment that is accommodated in a WDM network over which a wavelength-division multiplexed signal is transferred includes a reconfigurable OADM module. For calculation of a communication path, the OADM module creates a link table listing clients of the own equipment and connected WDMs, and advertises the link table to the other pieces of equipment accommodated by the network as pieces of information on restrictions to be imposed on routing from the own equipment. The other pieces of equipment each receive and store the advertised pieces of information on restrictions to be imposed on routing, and use the pieces of information as pieces of information on restrictions to be imposed on a calculation to calculate a communication path from the own equipment.

System for assembly of a rotating machine

In each work process of the assembly work of a large rotating machine, an input terminal unit 101 displays measuring points necessary for measurements of radial and axial clearances between a rotor and a casing so as to provide workers with instructions. When workers measure the clearances at the instructed measuring points, the measured values will be supplied to the input terminal unit 101 so as to confirm whether the measured values are within design tolerances or not. In addition, when workers measure the clearances at the instructed measuring points, amounts of adjustment of the casing will be displayed so that the measurement results at the measuring positions will have an optimum positional relation with the designed values.
