摘要:
A surgical access port comprises a valve or instrument seal that separates the instrument contact function from the instrument conforming function. Embodiments of the instrument seal comprise in instrument contact element that extends through an opening in a compression element, thereby defining an instrument orifice that seals with an instrument extending therethrough. Embodiments of the instrument contact element comprise a non-distensible membrane or film, for example, as a tube or cylinder.

A balloon trocar includes a cannula assembly including a cannula and an outer sleeve fitting over the cannula. The distal end of the outer sleeve is proximal to the distal end of the cannula. A balloon is coupled to a distal portion of the sleeve and a distal portion of the cannula. The outer surface of the cannula includes a plurality of longitudinal channels for transmitting gas or fluid to the balloon. A bolster having a gel pad at its distal portion is slidably mounted to the cannula assembly and may be locked in a desired position. In use, the trocar is inserted into an incision through a body wall and into a body cavity. The balloon is inflated and the cannula assembly pulled proximally against the incision while the bolster is slid distally to the body wall and locked in place to seal the incision with the compressed balloon.

Electric device, designed to be attached to a mounting rail, comprising a body fitted with means for locking onto the rail comprising at least one lug that can be moved between a locked position and an unlocked position, designed to interact with a first edge of the rail, the lug being subjected to the action of an elastic element placed in a housing of the body and pressing on the latter and on the movable lug,wherein the elastic element is of elongated shape, substantially rectilinear in a rest position, the housing comprising an opening for the insertion of the elastic element, placed substantially along the same axis as that of the elastic element in the rest position and leading to the outside of the body, on the lateral face of the body perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the rail.
摘要:
A method for the prior monitoring of the detectability of a watermarking signal inserted by modulation in a set of coefficients representing for example a digital image. The method comprises the step of simulating a distortion on the set of modulated coefficients, the distortion corresponding to a given compression level of the set of coefficients before modulation, determined by optimisation of a ratio of transmission rate to distortion. The method further comprises the step of calculating a detectability test on the set of modulated coefficients after distortion, and a step of comparing the detectability test with a threshold detection value. The method is used notably for inserting a watermarking signal during the compression of a digital image.
摘要:
The invention concerns a method of determining a segmentation into distinct regions of a set of coefficients representing at least part of an image (IM) in order to insert a set of watermarking signals with a predetermined cardinal, characterised in that it includes the steps of: generating (E2) a set of acceptable segmentations, calculating (E3), for each acceptable segmentation, a probability of error on the detection of the watermarking signals inserted in said each acceptable segmentation, and selecting (E3) a segmentation in the set of acceptable segmentations, by minimising, on all the acceptable segmentations, the probability of error subject to a constraint on the cardinal of the regions of the selected segmentation, with respect to the cardinal (C) of said set of watermarking signals.

An incrementally adjustable wound retractor (500), having a first ring (504) with a diameter greater than the desired diameter of the wound incision, a flexible second ring (502), having a lumen and a diameter greater than the desired diameter of the wound incision, and a flexible sleeve (506), disposed in a generally cylindrical form between the first and second rings (502, 504), where the second ring may be rolled over itself to provide a sleeve with a radical retraction force sufficient to stretch the incision to the desired diameter.

A retraction device for retracting an incision in a body wall includes a sheath that traverses through the incision from outside the body to a body cavity inside the body. The retraction device may include a deployable, adjustable frame that supports the sheath and that, together with the sheath, retracts the incision. The retraction device may include an outer ring and an inner ring coupled to opposing ends of the sheath and further include means to place the sheath in tension between the inner and outer rings, thereby retracting the incision.
摘要:
Devices, methods, and systems provide a surgical access device comprising an internal retractor device integrated with or coupled to a body wall or wound retractor. The wound retractor retracts an opening in a body wall into a body cavity, while the internal retractor permits a user to control the positions of internal structures within the body cavity, thereby permitting a user to define a surgical field. Embodiments of the internal retractor are adjustable.
