Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Electrical engineering
  • Structural engineering

Jeffrey S. Swayze spends much of his time researching Surgical stapling, STAPLE DRIVER, Tissue thickness, Robot end effector and Surgical instrument. His Surgical stapling study incorporates themes from Structural engineering, Engineering drawing, Cartridge and Rack. Within one scientific family, Jeffrey S. Swayze focuses on topics pertaining to Orthodontics under STAPLE DRIVER, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Joint, Torque and Pivot point.

His Tissue thickness research includes themes of Mechanical engineering, Drive shaft, Tissue compression and Electrical engineering. His Robot end effector studies intersect with other subjects such as Simulation, Mechanism, Articulation and Biomedical engineering. The concepts of his Surgical instrument study are interwoven with issues in Battery, Buttress, Electronic engineering and Computer hardware.

His most cited work include:

  • Motor-driven surgical cutting and fastening instrument with tactile position feedback (1265 citations)
  • Electronic lockouts and surgical instrument including same (1164 citations)
  • Surgical instrument having a feedback system (1138 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His primary areas of investigation include Robot end effector, Surgical instrument, Cartridge, Mechanical engineering and Surgical stapling. His Surgical instrument study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Computer hardware, Longitudinal axis, Simulation, Electrical engineering and Stroke. His Cartridge research incorporates themes from Fastener, Layer, Composite material and Engineering drawing.

In the subject of general Mechanical engineering, his work in Drive shaft and Head is often linked to Geology, thereby combining diverse domains of study. Jeffrey S. Swayze studies Surgical stapling, namely STAPLE DRIVER. His study on STAPLE DRIVER is covered under Tissue thickness.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Robot end effector (38.72%)
  • Surgical instrument (31.48%)
  • Cartridge (25.63%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Robot end effector (38.72%)
  • Surgical instrument (31.48%)
  • Cartridge (25.63%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His primary areas of study are Robot end effector, Surgical instrument, Cartridge, Mechanical engineering and Control circuit. His work carried out in the field of Surgical instrument brings together such families of science as Electrical engineering and Biomedical engineering. The Cartridge study combines topics in areas such as Compressibility, Composite material, Lock and Stroke.

In general Mechanical engineering, his work in STAPLE DRIVER and Tension is often linked to Articulation and Robotic systems linking many areas of study. His study looks at the relationship between STAPLE DRIVER and topics such as Head, which overlap with Mechanism. As a member of one scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Surgical stapling, focusing on Base and, on occasion, Simulation and Bracket.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Surgical instruments with tensioning arrangements for cable driven articulation systems (304 citations)
  • Shaft assembly comprising a lockout (286 citations)
  • Surgical instrument comprising firing member supports (153 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Mechanical engineering
  • Electrical engineering
  • Structural engineering

His primary scientific interests are in Robot end effector, Surgical instrument, Cartridge, Mechanical engineering and Robotic arm. Robot end effector is connected with Tension, Articulation, Biomedical engineering, Home position and Human–computer interaction in his study. His work deals with themes such as Analytics and Data science, which intersect with Surgical instrument.

He has included themes like Lock, Reset, Electrical engineering, Fuse and Stroke in his Cartridge study. His research in Head and STAPLE DRIVER are components of Mechanical engineering. His Robotic arm research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Control system, Control, Simulation and Cutting tool.
