    摘要: A medical robotic system comprises a number of components that may be monitored to determine their preventive maintenance needs by recording usage-related information for the monitored components into associated non-volatile memories. When usage of the component exceeds a specified usage threshold, the system displays a warning message on its display screen to have preventive maintenance performed for the component. If the usage continues without such maintenance and exceeds a higher usage threshold, the system displays an error message on its display screen and the system transitions into an error state during which medical procedures are not allowed to be performed. The usage-related information may also be communicated to a remote computer which gathers and processes usage-related information from a number of medical robotic systems to estimate resource requirements for timely performing preventive maintenance on the medical robotic systems, and anticipated service revenues from such maintenance.

    摘要: A power supply comprises transistors whose conduction paths are connected in series and whose control terminals receive a reference voltage. The common terminal at one end of the series-connected conduction paths provides a regulator output whereas output terminals of the transistors are connected to charge storage capacitors, which are charged by respective power generators for scavenging energy from the environment. The transistors begin conducting in sequence so that the storage capacitors begin contributing sequentially to the output current as each transistor conducts in sequence. The capacitors are charged up when they are not contributing to the output current.
