Parola Top Patents

Diagram of a person lying on a tilted surgical table with robotic arms labeled 304 positioned around the torso, illustrating an AI-assisted robotic surgical procedure.

10123844 | Software center and highly configurable robotic systems for surgery and other uses | Intuitive Surgical
Improved surgical manipulators for minimally invasive surgeries are presented in this patent by Intuitive Surgical. The manipulators have more degrees of freedom and redundant degrees of freedom which allows them to have a wider range of configurations. Moreover, a system to inhibit manipulator collision is also installed. Ideally, these advantages are provided without increasing the size and costs of these systems.

Technical drawing of a mobile stand with four wheels, a central adjustable pole, and an arm mechanism; side and top views with labeled components, illustrating integration possibilities for AI or artificial intelligence systems.

10123842 | Surgical robotic cart immobilizer | Covidien LP
The combination of mobile and arm robots has improved the surgical systems especially in minimally invasive surgical procedures. This patent by Covidien discloses another feature to improve these robots: an immobilizer to stabilize the operation of surgical robots. This immobilizer locks the robot to its ideal position during minimally invasive procedures. This invention greatly improves the accuracy, precision, and speed of the said procedures.

A labeled technical schematic showing components connected to a central circular element, with arrows indicating flow from left to right across various numbered parts, illustrating the integration of artificial intelligence systems.

10124494 | Coordinated water environment mobile robots | Saudi Arabian Oil Co
Inspection of underwater pipelines and structures are made easier by the robots disclosed in patent, which are configured to cooperate with one another. The robots support each other by having a stabilization system to balance underwater structures in contact with them.

Diagram showing connectivity between a private cloud and two public clouds via secure tunnels over a public network, featuring gateways, servers, VMs, and AI-powered solutions from IBM and CognitiveScale in each cloud.

10129177 | Inter-cloud broker for hybrid cloud networks | Cisco
Several private or public cloud data centers interoperate to provide services to various applications. These interoperating cloud data centers are referred to as “hybrid” cloud. Hybrid clouds offers numerous advantages but is too complex to operate. To make tasks easier, Cisco’s patent provides a cloud broker gateway which orchestrates and coordinates securing cloud resources. This cloud broker gateway interfaces cloud services provider with the enterprise network to provide access to one or more computing resources.

Diagram showing connections between Big Data Service and Cloud Computing Infrastructure at Location A, IBM Cloud Services, and Cloud Computing Infrastructure at Location B, with one connection crossed out—illustrating AI integration across platforms.

10129330 | Attachment of cloud services to big data services | IBM
Cloud-based services have provided several benefits such as flexibility, capital-expenditure free, improved security, and more efficient document control. As more companies avail cloud-based services while enjoying its benefits, the demand increases rapidly which introduces problems with the amount of data involved. This patent provides an integration of cloud-based services to nearby big data services provider. This approach removes the concerns over latency and bandwidth.

Diagram showing a person using a mobile device connected to a computer system and cloud server with AI capabilities, projecting data onto a display board.

10127196 | Systems and methods for managing notes | 3M
Need to prepare digital files for your next corporate strategy planning session? This patent from 3M is on a mobile device comprising a sensor to produce image data containing a visual representation of physical notes, each of the physical notes comprising separate physical objects, a processor, and at least one module.

Line drawing of a soccer cleat with labeled sections, including the sole, upper, and individual cleats—ideal for showcasing how AI or artificial intelligence can analyze shoe design for performance improvements.

10123588 | Footwear ground engaging members having concave portions | Nike
Need improved traction for your next soccer game? This patent from Nike discloses improved sole structure systems for multi-directional traction, facilitating overall agility. The present invention relates generally to a sole structure for an article of footwear and, more particularly, to configurations of ground engaging members.
