A multi-user medical robotic system for collaboration or training in minimally invasive surgical procedures includes first and second master input devices, a first slave robotic mechanism, and at least one processor configured to generate a first slave command for the first slave robotic mechanism by switchably using one or both of a first command indicative of manipulation of the first master input device by a first user and a second command indicative of manipulation of the second master input device by a second user. To facilitate the collaboration or training, both first and second users communicate with each other through an audio system and see the minimally invasive surgery site on first and second displays respectively viewable by the first and second users.

A medical robotic system has a surgeon console which is operatively couplable to a patient side unit for performing medical procedures or operatively couplable to a simulator unit for training purposes. The surgeon console has a monitor, input devices and foot pedals. The patient side unit has robotic arm assemblies coupled to instruments and an endoscope. When the surgeon console is coupled to the patient side unit, the instruments move in response to movement of the input devices to perform a medical procedure while captured images of the instruments are displayed on the monitor. When the surgeon console is coupled to the simulator unit, virtual instruments move in response to movement of the input devices to perform a user selected virtual procedure while virtual images of the virtual instruments are displayed on the monitor.

A surgical instrument for ophthalmic surgery, allowing the user to form a uniform circular incision of the anterior lens capsule of an eyeball, as part of an anterior capsulotomy. The capsulectomy device of the preferred embodiment of the present invention has first and second ends, with a rotor emanating from one end, the rotor having a cutting blade or bin situated at the distal end of the rotor, the rotor rotating in pivotal fashion up to 360 degrees, while simultaneously reciprocating the cutting blade at a consistent stroke so as to provide optimal incision edge and depth of the anterior lens capsule of the eyeball. The device is hand held and relatively compact, having provided therein a motor and gear reduction / transmission system for driving the rotor and providing the reciprocating action to the cutting blade or pin. The device further includes a power supply, which is illustrated as a separate component fed to the device via wire, as well as controls for initiating power, as well as varying the speed of the motor. Unlike the prior art systems, which generally have relied upon the skill of the surgeon to perform the radial incision by hand, the present system provides a relatively easy and uniform system for performing the radial incision which is believed to be safer, more uniform, and less time consuming than prior techniques.

A videoendoscopic surgery training system includes a housing defining a practice volume in which a simulated anatomical structure is disposed. Openings in the housing enable surgical instruments inserted into the practice volume to access the anatomical structure. A digital video camera is disposed within the housing to image the anatomical structure on a display. The position of the digital video camera can be fixed within the housing, or the digital video camera can be positionable within the housing to capture images of different portions of the practice volume. In one embodiment the digital video camera is coupled to a boom, a proximal end of which extends outside the housing to enable positioning the digital video camera. The housing preferably includes a light source configured to illuminate the anatomical structure. One or more reflectors can be used to direct an image of the anatomical structure to the digital video camera.

A method for training a computing system using keyboard biometric information. The method includes depressing two or more keys on a keyboard input device for a first sequence of keys. The method then determines a key press time for each of the two or more keys to provide a key press time characteristic in the first sequence of keys. The method also determines a flight time between a first key and a second key to provide a flight time characteristic in the first sequence of keys, the first key being within the two or more keys. The method includes storing the key press time characteristic and the flight time characteristic for the first sequence of keys, and displaying indications associated with the first sequence of keys on a display device provided on a portion of the keyboard input device.

An integrated medical workstation for use in patient clinical encounters includes an input device such as a bar code scanner that is interconnected to a computing device. At least one device capable of obtaining at least one physiological parameter is either attached directly to the workstation or is in communication therewith. Preferably, the input scanning device controls at least substantial overall operation of the medical workstation that can be placed, for example, into a network.

An object of the present invention is to provide a microorganism which has a high ability of producing docosahexaenoic acid. The present invention provides a Thraustochytrium strain which has an ability of producing docosahexaenoic acid, and use thereof.

The invention discloses a voiceprint identification method. The voiceprint identification method comprises the following steps of: 1, preprocessing segmented speech data of each speaker in a training speech set to form a group of sample sets corresponding to each speaker; 2, extracting Mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients from each sample in all sample sets; 3, selecting a sample set one by one and randomly selecting the Mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients of part samples of the sample set, and training a Gaussian mixture model for the sample set; 4, performing incremental learning on the samples which are not selected and trained in the step 3 and the Gaussian mixture model of the sample set corresponding to the sample set one by one to obtain all optimized Gaussian mixture models, and optimizing a model library by utilizing all optimized Gaussian mixture models; and 5, inputting and identifying test voice data, identifying the Gaussian mixture model of the sample set corresponding to the test voice data by utilizing the optimized model library in the step 4, and adding the test voice data to the sample set corresponding to the speaker.

A medical procedure cart includes a housing having a working surface disposed on a top thereof. The working surface forms a tray and includes a transparent top removably disposed above the tray. A height adjustment mechanism adjusts the height of the working surface. The template includes a plurality of figures depicting various different materials, instruments and equipment an operator prefers for a particular procedure. The operator can place the instruments, supplies and equipment on the transparent top of the working surface above a corresponding figure to enable the working surface to be stocked for a particular procedure.
