A robotic surgery system includes an orienting platform, a support linkage movably supporting the orienting platform, a plurality of surgical instrument manipulators, and a plurality of set-up linkages. Each of the manipulators includes an instrument holder and is operable to rotate the instrument holder around a remote center of manipulation (RC). At least one of the manipulators includes a reorientation mechanism that when actuated moves the attached manipulator through a motion that maintains the associated RC in a fixed position.

A mobile device mounting system includes a device case and a mount. The device case includes: an insert including a rectangular bore and defining a set of undercut sections about the rectangular bore; and a first set of magnetic elements arranged in a first pattern about the rectangular bore. The mount includes: a body; a polygonal boss extending from the body and configured to insert into the rectangular bore; a set of locking jaws arranged on the polygonal boss configured to transiently mate with the set of undercut sections to constrain the polygonal boss within the rectangular bore; and a second set of magnetic elements arranged in a second pattern about the polygonal boss and configured to transiently couple to the first set of magnetic elements to transiently retain the mount against the device case and to drive the set of locking jaws toward the set of undercut sections.

Improved support structures and systems are disclosed for installing tablet devices, display screens, flat screen monitors, or medical devices within a wide variety of environments. A core arm extends from a rear end, toward a front end, in which the rear end is configured to be pivotably mounted either directly to a mount structure, or to an extension arm that in turn is mounted to a mount structure. The front end is configured to be pivotably mounted to a front-end panel mount structure. The structures and systems can be configured for light or heavy configurations, with or without the use of an extension arm, and can provide fully concealed cable routing, in which one or more cables are readily accessible, via snap fit covers, for easy installation and maintenance, which can provide a clean structure that can readily be serviced and cleaned as desired.

A mounting assembly includes a mounting block. A first shaft is supported by the mounting block and movable about a first rotational axis and a first extension axis with respect to the mounting block. A second shaft is coupled to the first shaft and movable about a second rotational axis.

A system and method may be used to position or orient a camera within a surgical field. A method may include generating a graphical user interface including a first set of instructions to reposition the camera, and determining whether the camera is within a target volume location. The method may include automatically outputting an indication when the camera is within the target volume location. The method may include outputting a second set of instructions for display on the graphical user interface to align a laser, coupled to or integrated into the camera, to the tracker by changing an angle of the camera

A self-righting device is disclosed having a support body for supporting a medicament delivery device, where the support body has a mass, a center of gravity (G) and a shape such that the self-righting device, when positioned on a substantially horizontal surface, moves from an unbalanced position to an upright position. The self-righting device can also have a mechanical adaptor configured for attachment to the support body and for holding an elongated medicament delivery device at an angle less than 30 degrees from a vertical axis when the self-righting device is in the upright position. An assembly of a self-righting device and an elongated medicament delivery device is also provided.

The present disclosure discloses a modular large spherical tank internal detection device with a self-locking function, and belongs to the technical field of safety detection of large spherical tanks. The detection device includes a transmission group and a detection group. A movable pin is matched with the rotation of a second motor in an unconnected state, so that inner central shafts rotate to realize up-down movement of a detecting instrument in a vertical plane. The movable pin is matched with the rotation of a first motor in a connected state, so that the whole detection device rotates round a central axis of a large spherical tank to realize horizontal circumferential movement of the detecting instrument. All detection of a spherical surface inside the large spherical tank can be completed by combining two types of movement of the detecting instrument.
