A laser module produces pulsed laser energy in a wavelength range of 495-580 nm based on duration, peak power, and interval parameter information. An envelope timer controls the total duration of all micropulses based on the duration and interval parameters via a pulse-width modulated (PWM) output to a micropulse timer, which in turn outputs a PWM micropulse signal. A light emitting diode driver outputs a laser current through a diode based on the micropulse signal and a dimming signal to produce the pulsed laser energy. The integrator compares a signal corresponding to a detected power level of the laser energy to a signal corresponding to the peak power parameter and outputs the dimming signal. The resulting micropulse durations are in the range of 50 to 300 microseconds for periods of about 2 milliseconds, with a duty cycle ranging from 5 to 15%. The overall pulse parameters are duration from 10 microseconds to 1.5 seconds, with periods of any value. The pulsed laser energy is delivered by ophthalmologic laser treatment devices to an eye of a patient.

Apparatuses, systems and methods for providing improved ophthalmic lenses, particularly intraocular lenses (IOLs), include features for providing improved extended depth of focus lenses. Exemplary ophthalmic lenses can include an optic including a diffractive profile including at least one set of echelettes, each echelette of the set having a different width in r-squared space than any other echelette of the set and the at least one set of echelettes repeating at least once upon the optic.

A motor assembly and method of operating the motor assembly include a motor, a memory to store calibrated parameters of the motor, and electronics coupled to the memory and the motor. The electronics are configured to retrieve the calibrated parameters from the memory, provide the calibrated parameters to an external system, and receive control signals for driving the motor from the external system. The control signals are based on the calibrated parameters. The calibrated parameters include a motor speed versus no-load current relationship for the motor determined by a procedure that includes performing an initial calibration of the motor, wearing in the motor after performing the initial calibration, performing a final calibration of the motor after wearing in the motor, and storing the calibrated parameters in the memory based on the initial calibration and the final calibration.

Surgical systems can include evacuation systems for evacuating smoke, fluid, and/or particulates from a surgical site. A surgical evacuation system can be intelligent and may include one or more sensors for detecting one or more properties of the surgical system, evacuation system, surgical procedure, surgical site, and/or patient tissue, for example.

A surgical system includes a surgical arm a control system, and a motor assembly. The surgical arm is configured to removably couple an instrument to the surgical system. The surgical arm is adjustable to different configurations to change a position of an instrument coupled to the surgical arm. The motor assembly is separate from the control system and includes a motor, a memory to store calibrated parameters of the motor, and electronics coupled to the memory and the motor. The electronics are configured to retrieve the calibrated parameters of the motor from the memory, provide the calibrated parameters of the motor to the control system, receive an instruction for driving the motor from the control system, and send a control signal to the motor based on the instruction. The instruction is based on the calibrated parameters of the motor.

Techniques for controlling an instrument using a motor assembly include a control system having a first memory storing instructions and a processor. When the processor executes the instructions, the processor is configured to receive one or more motor parameters stored in a second memory of the motor assembly, receive one or more instrument parameters stored in a third memory of an instrument, determine an instruction for a motor of the motor assembly based on at least the one or more motor parameters and the one or more instrument parameters, and transmit the instruction to the motor assembly. The motor assembly is coupled to the control system. The instrument is coupled to the motor assembly. The instruction is for controlling motion of an end effector of the instrument using the motor.
