摘要： A medical device intended for use in performing minimally invasive procedures is provided. The device is intended for performing a pyloromyotomy in pediatric surgery, laparascopically. A key aspect of embodiments of the device is the dual-purpose functionality of the device as it combines both spreading of tissue and cutting of tissue, using mono- or bi-polar electric energy or a knife, with the same medical device. The use of the device requires fewer tool changes during surgery, improving safety and ease of use, as well as reducing surgery time. The devices lend themselves to torelatively cheaper manufacturing processes and lower overall cost compared to existing devices. They would also require less training time compared to current laparoscopic tools.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a method of controlling polishing processes based upon x-ray fluorescence measurements. In one illustrative embodiment, the method comprises providing a wafer comprised of a layer of insulating material having a barrier metal layer formed thereabove and a layer of copper formed above the barrier metal layer, performing a chemical mechanical polishing operation to remove the barrier metal layer, irradiating at least one area of the wafer with x-rays, and analyzing x-rays leaving the irradiated area to determine the presence of material comprising the barrier metal layer.

摘要： Robotic hands and finger modules include an underactuated finger with multiple joints including a distal joint, an intermediate joint, and a proximal joint. A brake subsystem in communication with each of the joints selectively locks and unlocks the joints individually. A robotic hand can selectively lock the joints of a finger individually such that one or more joints are locked while one or more joints are unlocked. In addition, the finger module can drive a tendon coupled to the joints to flex the underactuated finger in a manner determined by which of the joints is locked and which of the joints is unlocked. A robotic hand can move an underactuated finger with its distal and proximal joints unlocked until the finger makes contact with an object, and lock the proximal joint, in response to contact made with the object, while the distal joint remains unlocked.

摘要： The present invention is directed to a method of controlling the formation of metal layers. In one illustrative embodiment, the method comprises depositing a layer of metal above a structure, irradiating at least one area of the layer of metal, and analyzing an x-ray spectrum of x-rays leaving the irradiated area to determine a thickness of the layer of metal. In further embodiments of the present invention, a plurality of areas, and in some cases at least five areas, of the layer of metal are irradiated. The layer of metal may be comprised of, for example, titanium, cobalt, nickel, copper, tantalum, etc.
