Abstract:
A display system includes a display panel, a first reflector, and a second reflector. The display panel provides first image light representative of a displayed image to the first reflector and provides second image light representative of at least a portion of the displayed image to the second reflector without first being reflected by the first reflector. The first reflector reflects the first image light toward the second reflector. The second reflector reflects the first image light toward an eyepiece. The second reflector is positioned relative to the second image light and a polarization direction of the second image light incident on the second reflector has a first orientation such that reflectance of a portion of the second image light from the second reflector is approximately zero. A light control device behind the display panel may control a distribution angle of image light from the display panel.
Abstract:
The technology described in this document can be embodied in a viewing apparatus for a surgical device, the apparatus including a lens assembly including a first circular polarizer, a display device configured to present an image of a scene, a reflective surface oriented at an acute angle with respect to the display device such that light from the display device is reflected from the reflective surface towards the lens assembly, and a second circular polarizer configured to impart a circular polarization to the light from the display device. The first polarizer in the lens assembly is configured such that light reflected from the reflective surface passes through the first circular polarizer, and line-of-sight light reaching the first circular polarizer without being reflected from the reflective surface is substantially blocked.

Abstract:
A cannula mount for a surgical system may include a body having an aperture to receive a portion of a cannula. The cannula mount may further include a pivotable clamping arm to engage the portion of the cannula received in the aperture. The clamping arm may include a cam follower surface. The cannula mount may further include a block moveable between a first position and a second position. The block may include a cam surface. The cam surface of the block may engage the cam follower surface of the clamping arm in the first position to actuate the clamping arm to a closed position in which the clamping arm engages the portion of the cannula received in the aperture. The clamping arm may be permitted to move to an open position in which the clamping arm does not engage the cannula when the block is in the second position.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A surgical cannula includes a bowl section; a tube; and an attachment portion extending from the bowl section. The attachment portion is configured to engage with at least one of a cannula sterile adaptor and a cannula mount of a surgical system. The attachment portion extends from the bowl section along a radial direction with respect to a longitudinal axis of the cannula. The attachment portion tapers in a direction away from the bowl section.

Abstract:
A user interface for a surgical system can include a display configured to output video images of a remote surgical site at which one or more electrosurgical instruments of the surgical system are deployed; and a graphical user interface configured to be output on the display with the video images. The graphical user interface may comprise a visual indication of a state of the one or more electrosurgical instruments that indicates a state of the one or more electrosurgical instruments being ready for activation to deliver energy or actively delivering energy.
