Abstract: An illustrative system includes first and second electrical circuits, a free space optics interface assembly, and a feedthrough assembly. The free space optics interface assembly may include an optical transmitter having an input that is electrically coupled to the first electrical circuit, and an optical receiver having an output that is electrically coupled to the second electrical circuit. The feedthrough assembly electrically connects the input of the optical transmitter to the first electrical circuit and includes a first conductive receptacle electrically coupled to a first input pin of the optical transmitter, a second conductive receptacle electrically coupled to a second input pin of the optical transmitter, a first conductive pad providing electrical connection of the first input pin of the optical transmitter to the first electrical circuit, and a second conductive pad providing electrical connection of the second input pin of the optical transmitter to the first electrical circuit.

Abstract: An exemplary system includes a memory storing instructions and a processor communicatively coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to execute the instructions to receive, from a sensor of a surgical instrument, environmental condition information associated with the surgical instrument and detected by the sensor while the surgical instrument is disconnected from an external power source, the surgical instrument including circuitry configured to be powered and operate only while the surgical instrument is connected to the external power source, determine, based on the environmental condition information, an operational condition of the surgical instrument, and provide a notification indicating the determined operational condition of the surgical instrument.

Abstract: An image capture unit has mounted in a frame: a first imaging assembly, a first circuit board, a second imaging assembly, and a second circuit board. The first imaging assembly is mounted on the first circuit board. The second imaging assembly is mounted on the second circuit board. A portion of the first circuit board and a portion of the second circuit board have a stacked configuration with the portion of the first circuit board being approximately parallel to the portion of the second circuit board. An end of another portion of the first circuit board is adjacent to an end of another portion of the second circuit board.

Abstract: A binocular image capture device includes a plurality of stacked circuit boards, a front-facing dual image sensor mounted to a first circuit board of the plurality of stacked circuit boards, and signal conditioning electronics mounted to one or more of the plurality of stacked circuit boards and coupled to receive electrical signals generated by the dual image sensor. The dual image sensor is enclosed in a hermetic housing. In some examples, the hermetic housing may be formed by the first circuit board, a transition ring secured to the first circuit board, and an optics mount secured to the transition ring. In some examples, the hermetic housing may be formed using materials having matching coefficients of thermal expansion. In some examples, the binocular image capture device is enclosed by a shaft, the plurality of stacked circuit boards being stacked along a length of the shaft.
