Some embodiments provide a system for external manipulation of magnetic nanoparticles in vasculature using a remotely placed magnetic field-generating stator. In one aspect, the systems and methods relate to the control of magnetic nanoparticles in a fluid medium using permanent magnet-based or electromagnetic field-generating stator sources. Such a system can be useful for increasing the diffusion of therapeutic agents in a fluid medium, such as a human circulatory system, which can result in substantial clearance of fluid obstructions, such as vascular occlusions, in a circulatory system resulting in increased blood flow.

Source of input of an instruction to a remote controller is switched between manipulation on hand and external manipulation. A remote controller includes an instruction input portion accepting input of an instruction for controlling equipment, a supply accepting portion accepting supply of power from a cradle, a charging portion, a power storage portion, a control portion controlling an operation of the remote controller, a storage portion, an infrared light emission portion, and a display portion. The control portion includes a placement detection portion detecting whether or not the remote controller is mounted on the cradle, a selection portion switching between sources of input of the instruction from the instruction input portion based on a result of detection by the placement detection portion, and a control signal generation portion generating a control signal for controlling the equipment.

An external manipulator for positioning surgical instruments within the abdominal cavity, comprising a hybrid kinematics with a parallel structure, able to provide four, active or passive, positional degrees of freedom to a endoscopic unit, placed in the distal end of an instrument shaft. Due to this specific kinematics, the instrument shaft is able to perform two rotations, one translation, and a fourth orientation degree of freedom about a remote centre of rotation, coincident with the surgical incision port. Because of its unique design and kinematics, the proposed mechanism is highly compact, stiff and its dexterity fulfils the workspace specifications for surgical procedures.

Disclosed herein in example embodiments is a simple Drill-Through-Equipment (DTE) system for deep water drilling of oil, to intervene in the event of Blowout Preventer (BOP) failure, and mitigate spill disaster. Example embodiments of systems and methods of failed BOP intervention, and oil spill disaster mitigation disclosed herein may be used to mount a housing within the existing BOP below the blind shear ram, whereby the failed BOP is made accessible just below the blind shear ram through access ports, opening or closing in the housing. Through these ports blowout is diverted, thus protecting the rig. Through these same ports access is granted to the drill pipe allowing external manipulation or cutting of the drill pipe in effort to render the BOP operational. Once this is accomplished, the access ports are closed, and normal BOP and / or drilling operations are resumed. Example embodiments integrate and make use of existing BOP machinery.
