By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Robotics & Machine Learning Daily News Daily News-According to news reporting originatin g from Alexandria, Virginia, by NewsRx journalists, a patent by the inventors Do nofrio, William T. (Appleton, WI, US), Houser, Kevin L. (Springboro, OH, US), St ulen, Foster B. (Johns Island, SC, US), filed on April 10, 2020, was published o nline on October 8, 2024. The assignee for this patent, patent number 12108999, is Cilag GmbH Internationa l (Zug, Switzerland). Reporters obtained the following quote from the background information supplied by the inventors: "Surgeons use ultrasonic instruments in surgery to cut and coa gulate tissue. Piezoelectric elements are electrically excited at a resonant fre quency of an ultrasonic instrument to create vibrations that are transmitted thr ough a resonator and amplified to produce a mechanical, standing wave vibration of the same frequency. An ultrasonic transmission assembly of the instrument has an elongated, transmission waveguide that transmits this vibration to an end ef fector (e.g., cutting blade) on the distal tip of the instrument. An example of an ultrasonic surgical instrument is the Harmonic Scalpel® Laparosonic® Coagulat ing Shears, available from Ethicon Endo-Surgery, Inc., Cincinnati, Ohio.
