    摘要: One RFID equipped instrument includes an elongate body with a plurality of uniquely identified radio frequency identification chips spaced along the length of the elongate body. One system used for determining the position of an instrument includes an instrument; a plurality of radio frequency identification chips attached to the instrument; a reader connected to an antenna and adapted to communicate with each radio frequency identification chip using the antenna. One method for determining the position of an instrument using radio frequency identification chips includes providing a radio frequency identification chip reader and antenna; providing an instrument having a longitudinal axis and comprising a plurality of radio frequency identification chips placed along the longitudinal axis; moving the instrument relative to the antenna; and using information about a radio frequency identification chip detected by the antenna to determine the position of the instrument.

    摘要: The present invention provides embodiments of a steerable instrument having an elongate body having a distal end and a proximal end; a guide structure distal to the elongate body distal end; and a connector supported by the elongate body distal end and attached to the guide structure, wherein the guide structure or the connector is adapted to provide position feedback of the guide structure relative to the elongate body. There are also provided methods for advancing an instrument along a path by providing an indication of the direction of the path of the instrument by movement of a guide structure in response to interaction with an object defining the path; and adjusting the direction of the instrument based on the indication.

    摘要: A steerable endoscope has an elongated body with a selectively steerable distal portion and an automatically controlled proximal portion. The endoscope body is inserted into a patient and the selectively steerable distal portion is used to select a desired path within the patient's body. When the endoscope body is advanced, an electronic motion controller operates the automatically controlled proximal portion to assume the selected curve of the selectively steerable distal portion. Another desired path is selected with the selectively steerable distal portion and the endoscope body is advanced again. As the endoscope body is further advanced, the selected curves propagate proximally along the endoscope body, and when the endoscope body is withdrawn proximally, the selected curves propagate distally along the endoscope body. This creates a serpentine motion in the endoscope body that allows it to negotiate tortuous curves along a desired path through, around, and between organs within the body.

    摘要: An electro-polymeric articulated endoscope and method of insertion are described herein. A steerable endoscope having a segmented, elongated body with a manually or selectively steerable distal portion and an automatically controlled proximal portion can be articulated by electro-polymeric materials. These materials are configured to mechanically contract or expand in the presence of a stimulus, such as an electrical field. Adjacent segments of the endoscope can be articulated using the electro-polymeric material by inducing relative differences in size or length of the material when placed near or around the outer periphery along a portion of the endoscope.

    摘要: Protrusions are provided in the upper rim of a guard rail of a children's bed or crib, to improve motor development. The protrusions can be provided on an attachment to be attached to the normal upper rim or can be integral with the upper rim. The device can be scented and colored, as well, and differently shaped protrusions can be provided in different sections of the attachment.
