20100024283 | PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF BIO-OIL BY COPROCESSING OF BIOMASS IN A DELAYED COKING UNIT - A process is described for production of Bio-Oil by delayed coking with modified feedstock, in which the feed of the conventional coke unit envisages, in addition to the usual fresh feed of hydrocarbon (vacuum residue, atmospheric residue etc.), the feeding of a biomass for coprocessing. Said biomass can be selected from the group comprising sugar cane straw, sugar cane bagasse, castor seed cake, coconut shells, rice husks, raw soya, castor seed, canola, oil palm, and cottonseed oils, and oils and fats of animal origin, which can be used separately, or as mixtures thereof in any proportions. | 02-04-2010 |

20090099520 | Methods of fluid flow control with robotic surgical instruments for irrigation, aspiration, and blowing - In one embodiment of the invention, a first control signal is generated to control a robotic surgical instrument. The first control signal is then coupled into the robotic surgical instrument. In response to the first control signal, a first valve in the robotic surgical instrument is opened to flow a first fluid over a surgical site. | 04-16-2009 |
20100228250 | CUT AND SEAL INSTRUMENT - A combined electrical tissue sealing and mechanical tissue cutting instrument. The instrument has two opposing jaw members. A removable cartridge is positioned in one of the jaw members. The cartridge includes a tissue sealing electrode and a tissue cutter. As either the tissue sealing electrode or the cutter deteriorates with use, the cartridge is replaced with a new cartridge. Cartidges are configured with various electrode geometries to accommodate various associated electro-surgical units. One or more pressure sensors in the cartridge or in the instrument jaw that supports the cartridge provide an indication that a required clamping pressure exists between the jaw members to carry out the tissue sealing. A cut and seal controller allows various actions to be carried out when particular clamping pressures are sensed, or when an indication that tissue sealing is complete is sensed. | 09-09-2010 |

20120197182 | Robotic Surgical Systems With Fluid Flow Control For Irrigation, Aspiration, and Blowing - In one embodiment of the invention, a robotic surgical system is provided including a master control console and a surgical manipulator. The master control console generates control signals to cause one or more fluids to flow into or out of a surgical site. The surgical manipulator is coupled to the console to receive the control signals and includes at least one robotic arm and a surgical instrument coupled thereto. The surgical manipulator controls the surgical instrument in response to the control signals to control the flow of the one or more fluids into or out of the surgical site. The surgical instrument has a first robotically controlled valve that is responsive to the surgical manipulator and a hollow tube having a first end coupled to the first robotically controlled valve with an opening at a second end to direct the flow of one or more fluids. | 08-02-2012 |

20100225209 | ERGONOMIC SURGEON CONTROL CONSOLE IN ROBOTIC SURGICAL SYSTEMS - A control console to remotely control medical equipment is disclosed having a base with an ergonomically adjustable pedal system. The base further has an opening to receive the pedal system. The pedal system includes a moveable pedal tray with a pedal base. The tray includes a first left pedal assembly and a first right pedal assembly, and an upper tier having a second left pedal assembly and a second right pedal assembly respectively in alignment with and elevated above the first left pedal assembly and the first right pedal assembly. Rollers are rotatable coupled to the moveable pedal tray to allow it roll over a floor. A drive assembly is coupled between the moveable pedal tray and the base. The drive assembly applies a force to the to roll the moveable pedal tray over the floor within the opening of the base. | 09-09-2010 |
20100228249 | USER INTERFACES FOR ELECTROSURGICAL TOOLS IN ROBOTIC SURGICAL SYSTEMS - A method for a minimally invasive surgical system is disclosed including capturing camera images of a surgical site; generating a graphical user interface (GUI) including a first colored border portion in a first side and a second colored border in a second side opposite the first side; and overlaying the GUI onto the captured camera images of the surgical site for display on a display device of a surgeon console. The GUI provides information to a user regarding the first electrosurgical tool and the second tool in the surgical site that is concurrently displayed by the captured camera images. The first colored border portion in the GUI indicates that the first electrosurgical tool is controlled by a first master grip of the surgeon console and the second colored border portion indicates the tool type of the second tool controlled by a second master grip of the surgeon console. | 09-09-2010 |
20130096555 | ELECTRICAL CHARGE-DISSIPATING CANNULA - An apparatus, a system and a method of dissipating an electrical charge are provided. The apparatus is a cannula for receiving a surgical instrument to perform a surgical operation on a body. The cannula includes a hollow elongated structure having a proximal end opening and a distal end opening leading to a hollow interior passage dimensioned to receive a surgical instrument. The hollow elongated structure includes a polymer material and an electrically conductive material. The electrically conductive material is disposed to achieve electrical capacitive coupling with the surgical instrument and to dissipate an electrical charge received via the electrical capacitive coupling. The system and method utilize the cannula to dissipate the electrical charge through the surgical instrument. | 04-18-2013 |

The GUI provides information to a user regarding the first electrosurgical tool and the second tool in the surgical site that is concurrently displayed by the captured camera images. The first colored border portion in the GUI indicates that the first electrosurgical tool is controlled by a first master grip of the surgeon console and the second colored border portion indicates the tool type of the second tool controlled by a second master grip of the surgeon console. | 08-22-2013 |
20130267950 | SURGICAL INSTRUMENT CONTROL - In a surgical instrument, a reciprocating element controls jaw opening and closing as it moves over a first range of motion and cuts tissue clamped between the jaws as it moves over a second range of motion. A first control input controls the reciprocating element's motion over the first range of motion, and a second control input controls the reciprocating element's motion over the second range of motion. As a result, over control by the first control input will not result in inadvertent tissue cutting. | 10-10-2013 |
