    Abstract: A surgical system includes an end effector assembly having first and second jaw members configured to grasp tissue between tissue contacting surfaces thereof. An electromagnetic induction coil is fixedly disposed within the second jaw member. A thermal cutting element is disposed at least partially within the electromagnetic induction coil and movable relative to the electromagnetic induction coil and the second jaw member between a retracted position, wherein the thermal cutting element is flush with or recessed within the second jaw member, and an extended position, wherein the thermal cutting element protrudes from the second jaw member. The thermal cutting element is formed at least partially from an electromagnetic material capable of being inductively heated. The electromagnetic induction coil is adapted to connect to a source of energy to produce an electromagnetic field within the electromagnetic induction coil to thereby inductively heat the thermal cutting element.

    Abstract: A surgical instrument includes an elongated shaft including an articulating segment. A jaw assembly extends from a distal segment of the elongated shaft. A first jaw member can be actuated between a closed configuration and an open configuration. An articulation cable assembly includes a first articulation cable including a first extending portion, a second extending portion spaced apart from the first extending portion, and a loop portion connecting distal ends of the first and second extending portions of the first articulation cable. A first ferrule is positioned about the loop portion of the first articulation cable. A second articulation cable includes a first extending portion, a second extending portion spaced apart from the first extending portion, and a loop portion connecting distal ends of the first and second extending portions of the second articulation cable. A second ferrule is positioned about the loop portion of the second articulation cable.

    Abstract: An electronic system for multimodal diagnostic measurements and therapeutic interventions includes a plurality of element network layers vertically stacked one with another on a flexible substrate, each element network layer being bi-axially stretchable and comprising a plurality of elements configured in an addressable, interconnected array formed in a multilayered structure and operably performing a distinct function. The electronic system is a multimodal, multiplexed soft electronic system in a multilayered configuration that supports capabilities ranging from high-density spatiotemporal mapping of temperature, pressure and electrophysiological parameters, to options in programmable high-density actuation of thermal inputs and/or electrical stimulation, drug elution, radio frequency ablation, and/or irreversible electroporation ablation.

    Abstract: A surgical robotic system includes a first mobile cart, a control tower coupled to the first mobile cart, and a surgical console coupled to the control tower. The first mobile cart includes a surgical robotic arm and an image capture device actuatable in response to a user input and configured to capture a video of an object in a surgical site. The control tower includes a first controller configured to receive the captured video, determine a speed of the object within the captured video, determine a movement speed of the image capture device, and calculate a distance of the object from the image capture device based on the speed of the object and the movement speed of the image capture device. The surgical console includes a display configured to display the captured video of the surgical site and a user input device configured to generate the user input.
