101474, 101 41, 101126, 101487, 1014071

Abstract:

A platen for use in printing on an object, wherein the platen has an adjustable area of a working surface on which to place the object. The platen surface includes a plurality of elements, wherein each element includes a flat surface that can be positioned at a working level at which the object is to be placed, and wherein an operator can insert or remove each element and thereby the corresponding flat surface of that element from the working level as required in order to provide a desired area of the working surface. In one embodiment, the platen includes a base plate and a plurality of elements which can be positioned on the base plate or removed to form a desired configuration of the working surface.

Abstract:

A medical system comprises an eye tracking unit. The eye tracking unit includes an image display configured to display to a user an image of a surgical field and an eye tracker configured to measure data about a gaze point of the user during a procedure. The eye tracking unit also includes a processor configured to process the data to determine an evaluation factor based on movement of the gaze point of the user during the procedure and compare the evaluation factor to baseline gaze point data.

International Classification:

G09B 23/28

Abstract:

A system for scoring a teleoperated surgical training session comprises a memory and a processor, the memory comprising instructions, which when executed by the processor, cause the processor to implement a computerized training module to: determine a performance efficiency component of the teleoperated surgical training session performed by a user; determine a penalty component of the teleoperated surgical training session; compute a training session score as a function of at least the performance efficiency component and the penalty component; and present the training session score to the user.
