Folder systems and related methods are provided for accurately and efficiently folding a paper carrier that has a card attached without bending or dislodging the card from the carrier. A movable fold chute receives a portion of the carrier with the card attached and allows the carrier to fold while protecting the card portion of the carrier. The fold chute moves between different positions which allow the carrier to enter and exit through folding rollers along a generally straight paper path without forcing the cards around small radii, thereby preventing damage to the cards or causing them to separate from the carrier sheet.

System and method for folding paper carriers with attached cards

The invention is a modular card processing and attaching system configured to provide uninterrupted workflow in the feeding and subsequent attaching of cards to carriers for the formation of a mailpiece. The modular card processing and attaching system is further configured to be incorporated into a production mail inserter system, such that attached card and carrier mailpieces may be subsequently sorted and/or inserted into a mailable envelope or packages to be mailed.

Card processing and attaching system

Display panel or portion thereof with a graphical user interface

The present invention is directed to a rear vehicle advertisement display that allows for messaging in the form of text and/or graphics to be displayed on the rear of a vehicle when a. rear windshield wiper is in use. The advertisement display system includes a base frame, a hollow vessel, a flexible panel stored within the hollow vessel, and a mounting member for attaching the system to a vehicle. The advertisement display system disclosed is dynamic, such that the advertisement is visible in certain scenarios and hidden in others.

Rear vehicle advertisement display system

A temperature sensor for monitoring an organ or tissue is configured to measure a temperature inside of a container configured to contain the organ or tissue. The temperature sensor is disposed exterior to the organ container and the temperature sensor is a non-contact temperature sensor. The temperature sensor may be part of an apparatus for perfusing, transporting, and/or storing an organ or tissue. A coolant container may have an aperture through which the temperature sensor measures a temperature of at least one of the organ or tissue or a perfusate fluid surrounding the organ or tissue. The temperature sensor is preferably an infrared temperature sensor. Multiple temperature sensors may be provided that measure the temperature organ or tissue or perfusate fluid surrounding the organ or tissue, for example in case one of the temperature sensors fails.

Temperature sensing in organ preservation apparatus

A robotic surgical system includes a surgical robotic arm, an electromechanical instrument, an instrument drive unit, and a coupling shaft. The electromechanical instrument is configured to be detachably coupled to the surgical robotic arm. The electromechanical instrument includes a shaft having a proximal end and a distal end having an end effector. The instrument drive unit includes a motor configured to actuate the end effector. The coupling shaft defines a longitudinal axis and is configured to be coupled between the instrument drive unit and the surgical robotic arm such that the instrument drive unit is rotatable about the longitudinal axis of the coupling shaft relative to the surgical robotic arm or the electromechanical instrument.

Robotic surgical assemblies

A sterile barrier assembly includes a linear drive section and a rotation drive section. The linear drive section includes a corrugated portion interfacing with an axial output of an instrument driving unit on a non-sterile side and an engaging portion interfacing with a tool assembly of a surgical instrument on a sterile side. The rotational drive section includes a first engaging portion interfacing with a rotational output of the instrument driving unit on the non-sterile side and a second engaging portion interfacing with the tool assembly of the surgical instrument on the sterile side.

Elastic surgical interface for robotic surgical systems

A reaction torque transducer for mounting a motor of an instrument drive unit includes a motor plate, a mounting plate, and a flex ring. The motor plate is fixed to the motor and the mounting plate is fixed to a fixed structure. The flex ring is positioned between the motor plate and the mounting plate. The flex ring includes a body having a first end and a second end that are moveable relative to one another. The first end of the body is fixed to the motor plate and the second end of the body is fixed to the mounting plate. The body is configured to flex in response to the first and second ends moving with respect to one another. A strain gauge is positioned on the body of the flex ring and is configured to measure flexation of the body.

Input device assemblies for robotic surgical systems

A collation folding device comprising one or more fold rollers mounted in fixed positions. Below and adjacent to the fold rollers are adjustable nip rollers to form nip spacing between the rollers. The adjustable nip roller is mounted on a nip axis shaft. An adjustment mechanism is used for moving the nip axis shaft to adjust the nip spacing. The nip adjustment mechanism includes a bearing block cam follower on which the nip axis shaft is fixedly mounted and supported. An eccentric cam in operative contact with the bearing block cam follower. Rotation of the eccentric cam on the eccentric cam axis drives the bearing block cam follower in its linear motion to adjust the nip spacing.

Method and apparatus for adjusting fold roller gaps

An apparatus for at least one of storage, treatment, assessment and transport of an organ or tissue includes a cooling container configured to cool the organ or tissue, a perfusion circuit configured to perfuse the organ or tissue, and a sample compartment for holding a biological sample. Preferred apparatus has a first internal compartment under a first cover (lid) of the apparatus that includes the coolant container and the sample compartment. The apparatus can include a second internal compartment under a second cover (lid) of the apparatus, the second internal compartment including at least part of the perfusion circuit and a sample compartment.

Organ transport apparatus with sample compartments

An apparatus for at least one of storage, treatment, assessment and transport of an organ or tissue includes a coolant container configured to cool the organ or tissue, a perfusion circuit configured to perfuse the organ or tissue, and a sample compartment for holding a biological sample. Preferred apparatus has a first internal compartment under a first cover (lid) of the apparatus that includes the coolant container and the sample compartment. The apparatus can include a second internal compartment under a second cover (lid) of the apparatus, the second internal compartment including at least part of the perfusion circuit and a sample compartment.
