HAND HELD ELECTROMECHANICAL SURGICAL HANDLE ASSEMBLY FOR USE WITH SURGICAL END EFFECTORS, AND METHODS OF USE
The present disclosure relates to hand held electromechanical powered surgical handle assemblies for use with surgical end effectors capable of clamping, cutting and/or stapling tissue and methods of use thereof. The surgical device includes a handle assembly and a drive unit assembly removably and selectively connectable to a selected first connecting feature and second connecting feature of the handle assembly. The drive unit assembly includes a motor and a drive shaft driven by the motor.
High degree of freedom (DOF) controller
Disclosed is a high degree of freedom control apparatus that includes a base attached to a strain gauge assembly movable in three orthogonal directions to provide signals indicative of a position of the strain gauge assembly relative to the base. An actuator assembly is supported on the base and movable by an operator's arm, hand, digit, or wrist relative to the base structure. The actuator assembly provides signals indicative of the position of the operator's arm, hand, digit or wrist in at least seven degrees of freedom relative to the base structure. The actuator assembly includes a wrist angle stage and a digit angle stage. The strain gauge assembly includes a spring plate and a load cell that is configured to provide a signal indicative of deflection of the load cell relative to the base.

Knob structure
A knob structure includes a base support, a knob portion, a seat and a plurality of elastic pieces. The knob portion has an inner wall surface. The inner wall surface is inclined to an axis and surrounds the axis to define a space. The knob portion is signally connected to a processor and configured to rotate relative to the base support about the axis. The seat is at least partially located in the space. The seat is at least partially sleeved to the base support and configured to move relative to the base support along the axis. The elastic pieces are disposed on the seat and configured to abut against the inner wall surface.

Systems and methods for overriding autonomous control of a device
Within examples, a system is described that includes a control lever for controlling operation of a device, a first actuator coupled to the control lever via a rod, and a resettable frangible link coupling a second actuator to the control lever via the rod. The resettable frangible link enables separation of coupling of the second actuator from the control lever based on an applied force to the rod by the first actuator.
