(Cincinnati, OH, US), filed on October 29, 2021, was published online on June 4, 2024. The assignee for this patent, patent number 11998204, is Cilag GmbH Internationa l (Zug, Switzerland). Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "In some surgical settings, endoscopic surgical instruments ma y be preferred over traditional open surgical devices in order to make use of a smaller incision in the patient, which may reduce post-operative recovery time a nd complications. Some endoscopic surgical instruments may be suitable for place ment of a distal end effector at a desired surgical site through the cannula of a trocar. These distal end effectors may engage tissue in a number of ways to ac hieve a diagnostic or therapeutic effect (e.g., endocutter, grasper, cutter, sta pler, clip applier, access device, drug/gene therapy delivery device, and energy delivery device using ultrasound, RF, laser, etc.). Endoscopic surgical instrum ents may include a shaft between the end effector and a handle portion, which is manipulated by the clinician. Such a shaft may enable insertion to a desired de pth and rotation about the longitudinal axis of the shaft, thereby facilitating positioning of the end effector within the patient. Positioning of an end effect or may be further facilitated through inclusion of one or more articulation join ts or features, enabling the end effector to be selectively articulated or other wise deflected relative to the longitudinal axis of the shaft.

The assignee for this patent, patent number 11999450, is Shipshave AS (Stavanger , Norway). Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "BACKGROUND ART "Maintenance and inspection of ship hull is normally performed in dry dock. Dry dock inspection and maintenance is expensive, time consuming and the vessel is t aken out of active duty. Another disadvantage of performing works out of the wat er is that inspections cannot be performed in the working environment, meaning t hat flow patterns are poorly understood. Understanding the real flow patterns du ring voyage can provide information to improve the operation and fuel economy. W ork tools containing cleaning and surface treatment tools can remove biofouling on the hull and reduce hull drag, improving fuel economy.

(Cincinnati, OH, US), Black, Brian D. (Loveland, OH, US), Schei b, Charles J. (Loveland, OH, US), Stone, Matthew T. (Mason, OH, US), filed on Oc tober 22, 2020, was published online on June 4, 2024. The assignee for this patent, patent number 11998227, is Cilag GmbH Internationa l (Zug, Switzerland). Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "A variety of surgical instruments include an end effector for use in conventional medical treatments and procedures conducted by a medical pr ofessional operator, as well as applications in robotically assisted surgeries. Such surgical instruments may be directly gripped and manipulated by a surgeon o r incorporated into robotically assisted surgery. In the case of robotically ass isted surgery, the surgeon may operate a master controller to remotely control t he motion of such surgical instruments at a surgical site. The controller may be separated from the patient by a significant distance (e.g., across the operatin g room, in a different room, or in a completely different building than the pati ent). Alternatively, a controller may be positioned quite near the patient in th e operating room. Regardless, the controller may include one or more hand input devices (such as joysticks, exoskeletol gloves, master manipulators, or the like ), which are coupled by a servo mechanism to the surgical instrument. In one exa mple, a servo motor moves a manipulator supporting the surgical instrument based on the surgeon's manipulation of the hand input devices. During the surgery, th e surgeon may employ, via a robotic surgical system, a variety of surgical instr uments including an ultrasonic blade, a tissue grasper, a needle driver, an elec trosurgical cautery probes, etc. Each of these structures performs functions for the surgeon, for example, cutting tissue, coagulating tissue, holding or drivin g a needle, grasping a blood vessel, dissecting tissue, or cauterizing tissue.
