Abstract:
A freestanding partition panel for dividing a floor space includes a rigid partition frame having vertical side frame members and first and second horizontal frame members extending between the vertical side frame members to form a vertically enlarged opening through the frame, and an open space within the panel. At least one intermediate horizontal cross member extends across the vertically enlarged opening and defines upper and lower openings through the frame. The intermediate cross member and at least a selected one of the first and second horizontal frame members include a plurality of horizontally spaced apart attachment locations defining a plurality of discrete, serially adjacent mounting spaces. The partition panel further includes a utility unit that is mountable in a selected one of the mounting spaces. The partition panel further includes a first cover panel secured to the partition frame and extending horizontally between the side edge of the utility unit and the selected vertical side frame member. The first cover panel is connected to the intermediate horizontal cross member and extends vertically between the intermediate horizontal cross member and the selected one of the first and second members.

Inventors:
Katherine J. Kuchenbecker - Philadelphia PA, US
Dorsey Standish - Potomac MD, US
William McMahan - Philadelphia PA, US
Jamie Gewirtz - Wyndmoor PA, US
Assignee:
The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania - Philadelphia PA
International Classification:
A61B 19/00
US Classification:
606130
Abstract:
Systems and methods for providing vibration feedback in robotic systems are disclosed. A system for configuring a robotic surgery system to provide vibration feedback during robot-assisted surgery includes a sensor, an actuator, and a controller. The sensor is coupled to the robotic surgery system such that the sensor senses a vibration of a surgical tool. The actuator is coupled to the surgery system such that the actuator provides a vibration to a user at a control station. The controller is electrically coupled with the sensor and the actuator. The controller is configured to receive data corresponding to a sensed vibration from the sensor. The controller is further configured to actuate the actuator based on the received data such that the actuator provides a vibration to the user when the sensor senses the vibration of the tool. The above system may be configured to provide tactile and/or audio feedback.

US Patent:
20140180167, Jun 26, 2014
Filed:
Nov 8, 2013
Appl. No.:
14/075388
Inventors:
- Philadelphia PA, US
Katherine J. Kuchenbecker - Philadelphia PA, US
Assignee:
The Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania - Philadelphia PA
International Classification:
A61B 5/107
A61M 29/00
US Classification:
600587
Abstract:
Systems and methods for determining stricture characteristics are disclosed. A system for determining the characteristics of a stricture in a body lumen includes a dilation device, one or more sensors, and an output device. The dilation device is configured to be inserted in the body lumen at the location of the stricture. The one or more sensors are coupled to the dilation device for sensing characteristics of the dilation device during dilation. The output device is configured to indicate the characteristics of the dilation device. In order to determining the characteristics of the stricture, the dilation device may be inserted in the body lumen at the location of the stricture. The dilation device may then be inflated. Characteristics of the dilation device during inflation of the dilation device may then be sensed.
