Multi-component telepresence system and method

The present invention provides systems and methods for performing robotically-assisted surgical procedures on a patient. In particular, a three-component surgical system is provided that includes a non-sterile drive and control component, a sterilizable end effector or surgical tool and an intermediate connector component that includes mechanical elements for coupling the surgical tool with the drive and control component and for transferring motion and electrical signals therebetween. The drive and control component is shielded from the sterile surgical site, the surgical tool is sterilizable and disposable and the intermediate connector is sterilizable and reusable. In this manner, the intermediate connector can be sterilized after a surgical procedure without damaging the motors or electrical connections within the drive and control component of the robotic system.

Medication dispensing apparatus with spring-driven locking feature enabled by administration of final dose

A medication dispensing apparatus with a spring-driven locking feature includes a drive member movable in a distal direction within a housing, and a fluid container with a piston that is advanceable by the drive member (60) when such drive member is moved distally by a driving means. The apparatus includes a latching element (180) having a skid (190) that is slidable along a surface of the drive member as the drive member passes distally during advancement. The drive member is arranged with the skid so as to maintain a latching lip of the latching element against a spring force in a first position free of the driving means during dose preparing and injecting prior to a final dose administration. The skid-engaging surface shifts distally of the skid such that the skid passes beyond a proximal end of that surface upon administration of a final dose, whereby the latching lip is urged by the spring force from the first position to a second position to physically lock the driving means to prevent further dose preparing and injecting.

Method of Improving the Resolution of Compounds Eluted from a Chromatography Device

A method of and apparatus for improving the resolution of compounds eluted from a separation device are disclosed, particularly suited for use in the fields of gas or liquid chromatography. Embodiments of the invention provide that spectroscopic data are measured from an effluent eluted from a chromatography device as a function of elution time; peaks in intensity are identified to form a first set of identified peaks; peaks not due to an eluting compound are discarded from the first set of identified peaks thereby forming a second set of identified peaks from those retained; each peak in the second set of peaks is transformed into a first model peak centered on the elution time of each peak in the second set of peaks; some or all the model peaks created are added together to create a new chromatogram; and all identified peaks in intensity in the second set of peaks having elution times within a given time period of identified peaks in intensity in the new chromatogram are grouped together and assigned to a single eluted compound thereby forming a processed data set.

Verification pipette and vision apparatus

Manually operated pipettors, widely used in clinical, forensics, pharmaceutical research, hospital and biotech laboratories to transfer small volumes of liquid, may be subject to positional errors, operator use errors and hidden performance degradation. Manual pipette performance cannot be accepted without monitoring and reporting. This invention concerns a computer controlled vision tracking and lighting system working in conjunction with a sensor controlled fluid dispensing device and controller to confirm pipette tip positional locations during aspiration and dispensing operations with automatic monitoring of liquids entering and leaving a pipette apparatus to digitally track a manual pipetting operation with a digital output file of validated liquid transfer results. The invention may also monitor possible error conditions and prevent improper liquid transfers during the manual process.

Production method for an sic volume monocrystal with a homogeneous lattice plane course and a monocrystalline sic substrate with a homogeneous lattice plane course

A method is used for producing an SiC volume monocrystal by sublimation growth. Before the beginning of growth, an SiC seed crystal is arranged in a crystal growth region of a growth crucible and powdery SiC source material is introduced into an SiC storage region of the growth crucible. During the growth, by sublimation of the powdery SiC source material and by transport of the sublimated gaseous components into the crystal growth region, an SiC growth gas phase is produced there. The SiC volume monocrystal having a central center longitudinal axis grows by deposition from the SiC growth gas phase on the SiC seed crystal. The SiC seed crystal is heated substantially without bending during a heating phase before the beginning of growth, so that an SiC crystal structure with a substantially homogeneous course of lattice planes is provided in the SiC seed crystal.

Method of accessing a device in a communication network in a motor vehicle via an external device and gateway

A method of accessing a device in a communications network in a motor vehicle via an external device is described, in which a software element is transmitted to the external device in the case of authorized access to a device in the communications network to permit control of the device in the communications network by the external device. A gateway checks on whether access is possible, either checking directly with the device requested or via the system manager. Security in communication between the external device and the device to be controlled may be achieved by an additional encryption and / or a specified validity period of the software element transcribed to the external device. If there is no software element for a device to be controlled, such a software element may be created by using a control module and data stored in the device.

ActiveUS20210106529A1Alleviating and treating hair lossFurther useOrganic active ingredientsNanomedicineDrug deliveryScalp skin
Provided are a nanoliposome-microbubble conjugate in which a drug for hair loss treatment such as finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, etc. is encapsulated in a nanoliposome and a composition for alleviating or treating hair loss containing the same. Since an orally administered agent such as finasteride, currently useful as a drug for hair loss treatment, causes side effects, drug delivery through scalp application is most desirable, but the drug is not delivered to hair follicle cells through scalp application alone. Since a drug for hair loss treatment useful as an external preparation for skin causes various side effects, the concentration thereof that is used needs to be further lowered. The above nanoliposome-microbubble conjugate is capable of increasing the delivery efficiency of a drug for hair loss treatment at a low concentration, and is thus very effective at treating androgenic alopecia.
