Abstract

A computer-controlled remote power module is disclosed. The remote power module may include an enclosure containing a power converter, a voltage controller, an antenna and a microprocessor. The voltage controller may be in electrical communication with the power converter. The microprocessor may be in electrical communication with the power converter, the voltage controller, and the antenna. The antenna may be configured to receive wireless transmissions from a remote computer control system, and provide a signal to the microprocessor based on the received transmissions. The microprocessor mayreceive the signal, and, based on the signal, selectively cause the voltage controller to provide power. The remote power module may be configured to selectively provide power from a battery to a tool, such as a surgical tool.

Description

[0001] claim of priority [0002] This patent application claims the benefit of priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 552,606, filed August 31, 2017, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present disclosure generally relates to battery operated surgical tools. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to providing a remote power module for use with a battery-operated surgical tool configured to receive control signals from a control system. Background technique [0004] The use of computers, robotics and imaging to assist during surgery is known in the art. There has been a great deal of research and development into computer-aided navigation and robotic systems used to guide surgical procedures. For example, precision freehand carvers employ robotic surgical systems to help surgeons accurately cut bone into desired shapes. In procedures such as total hip replacement (THR), computer-assiste...
