摘要： Systems and methods are disclosed for controlling the operation of visual indicators, such as light emitting diodes (LEDs). A novel circuit may be employed to energize one indicator while de-energizing a second indicator, and vice versa. The novel circuit uses at least one switching component to perform a switching operation on the indicators.

摘要： Provided are systems and methods for registration of location sensors. In one aspect, a system includes an instrument and a processor configured to provide a first set of commands to drive the instrument along a first branch of the luminal network, the first branch being outside a path to a target within a model. The processor is also configured to track a set of one or more registration parameters during the driving of the instrument along the first branch and determine that the set of registration parameters satisfy a registration criterion. The processor is further configured to determine a registration between a location sensor coordinate system and a model coordinate system based on location data received from a set of location sensors during the driving of the instrument along the first branch and a second branch.

摘要： Methods and apparatuses for detecting tension on a tendon and/or mechanical deformation (e.g., breakage) of one or more steering tendon of a steerable and flexible articulating device. Theses apparatuses may have one or more tendons that are each electrically conductive and configured to steer the apparatus when tension is applied to the proximal end of the tendon. Tension and/or breakage (or other deformation) of one or more of these tendons may be detected by monitoring the electrical resistance of the tendons.

摘要： Certain aspects relate to systems and techniques for docking medical instruments. For example, a medical system can include an instrument drive mechanism having a drive output that rotates and engages a corresponding drive input on a robotic medical instrument, a motor configured to rotate the drive output, and a torque sensor configured to measure torque imparted on the drive output. The robotic medical instrument can include a pre-tensioned pull wire actuated by the drive input. The system can activate the motor associated with the drive output to rotate the drive output in response to a torque signal from the torque sensor associated with the drive output in order to align the drive output with the drive input.

摘要： A joystick can include a shaft having an axis, a manipulating portion, and a sensing end with a magnet mounted thereto. The joystick can further include a movement mechanism configured to allow the manipulating portion of the shaft to be moved in three dimensions with respect to the axis of the shaft. The movement of the manipulating portion results in corresponding movement of the magnet that can be sensed in a non-contacting manner by a magnetic sensor positioned relative to the magnet.

摘要： Circuits, methods, and devices for protecting against accidental fuse programming are discussed herein. For example, a fuse circuit may include a first switch electrically connected to a first point, a fuse electrically connected in series with the first switch, a first biasing circuit to control the first switch to enable programming of the fuse in response to a fuse programming event, a second switch electrically connected in series with the fuse between the fuse and a second point, and a second biasing circuit to control the second switch to enable programming of the fuse in response to the fuse programming event.

摘要： Disclosed herein are silicon-on-insulator (SOI) switches and associated control circuits having level shifters configured to provide increased voltages (positive and/or negative) to the switches. The disclosed level shifters can be configured to provide increased voltages and can be used with high-linearity switches and/or can improve the linearity of switches. The improved switch performance can improve front end module performance for applications such as carrier aggregation (CA) and multiple input multiple output (MIMO) as well as with protocols such as Long-Term Evolution Advanced (or LTE-A).

摘要： Unpowered switching module. A switching module can include a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and an output terminal. The output terminal can be configured to output a radio-frequency (RF) component of an input signal received on the first input terminal or the second input terminal in response to the input signal including a positive direct-current (DC) voltage.
