Novel Enhanced Haptic Feedback Processes And Products For Robotic Surgical Prosthetics

View page
US Patent:
20100292706, Nov 18, 2010
Filed:
Apr 14, 2007
Appl. No.:
12/279982
Inventors:
Erik P. Dutson - Los Angeles CA, US
Warren Grundfest - Los Angeles CA, US
Adrienne Higa - Los Angeles CA, US
Chih-Hung King - Sharpsburg GA, US
Martin Culjat - Los Angeles CA, US
International Classification:
A61B 19/00
US Classification:
606130
Abstract:
A modular, scalable, layerable balloon actuator or actuator array. The miniaturized actuator array can be mounted on the hand controls of a surgical robotic system, and pressure or force input is applied to the surgeon's fingers. The input to the fingers is proportional to the applied force or pressure that is sensed on a separate sensor array, which is mounted on the surfaces of the object to be physically manipulated. The force is translated to pressure using a control system, which includes electronic and pneumatic components. The Novel enhanced haptic feedback system enables the detection of force and tactile information on tissues and sutures with high spatial and temporal resolution. This technology shortens the learning curve for MIS training, expands the application of MIS techniques in surgery, and enhances telementoring and teiesurgery applications. The actuator is modular scalable, Iayerable, compact, configurable, flexible, and conformable. It is therefore designed such that it can be adapted to future surgical robotic systems, and can be applied to prosthetics, orthotics, and persons with sensory neuropathy, as well as other robotic applications, simulating machines and apparatus and user-interfacing systems for video-gaming.

Modular Imbibition Rate Reducer For Use With Implantable Osmotic Pump

View page
US Patent:
20050101943, May 12, 2005
Filed:
Nov 1, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/978597
Inventors:
Rupal Ayer - Cupertino CA, US
Scott Lautenbach - San Mateo CA, US
Michael Desjardin - Sunnyvale CA, US
Adrienne Higa - Los Angeles CA, US
International Classification:
A61K009/22
US Classification:
604892100
Abstract:
An osmotic pump system includes a capsule having at least one delivery port, a membrane plug retained at an open end of the capsule remote from the delivery port, the membrane plug providing a fluid-permeable barrier between an interior and an exterior of the capsule, and a removable imbibition rate reducer attachable to the capsule. The imbibition rate reducer comprises one or more flow controllers selected from the group consisting of an orifice having a selected size smaller than a surface area of the membrane plug and a membrane having a selected thickness, surface area, radial compression, and permeability. The imbibition rate reducer allows customizable delivery of medicaments.

US Patent:
20200064337, Feb 27, 2020
Filed:
Apr 22, 2019
Appl. No.:
16/391063
Inventors:
- Emeryville CA, US
Jason C. Briggs - Pleasanton CA, US
Jason M. McEwen - El Cerrito CA, US
Ravi K. Ramenani - Livermore CA, US
Hariharasudhan Chirra Dinakar - Fremont CA, US
Kai W. Szeto - Berkeley CA, US
Adrienne T. Higa - San Francisco CA, US
Mark P. White - Orinda CA, US
Xiaohua Wang - Ho Ho Kus NJ, US
Kevin T. Chapman - Emeryville CA, US
International Classification:
G01N 33/50
B01L 3/00
C12N 5/0781
G01N 33/68
C12Q 1/6876
Abstract:
Methods are described herein for screening an antibody producing cell within a microfluidic environment. The antibody producing cell may be a B cell lymphocyte, which may be a memory B cell or a plasma cell. An antigen of interest may be brought into proximity with the antibody producing cell and binding of the antigen by an antibody produced by the antibody producing cell may be monitored. Methods of obtaining a sequencing library from an antibody producing cell are also described.
