1. A personal license server of a first mobile device, the personal license server comprising:
a memory; and
circuitry configured to:
receive a digital rights management (DRM) license from a license server, where the DRM license is configured for use by a playback system of the first mobile device that is associated with the personal license server of the first mobile device and wherein the first mobile device comprises both the personal license server and the playback system;
store the DRM license in the memory;
receive a redirected license request sent from a second mobile device that is distinct from the first mobile device, wherein the redirected license request originally specified the license server, but was redirected to the personal license server of the first mobile device; and
in response to the redirected license request, communicate the DRM license from the personal license server of the first mobile device to the second mobile device;
wherein the first mobile device that comprises the personal license server also comprises a personal license server client that communicates the redirected license request to the personal license server and that is operative to perform name resolution.
2. The personal license server of claim 1, wherein the personal license server client communicates with the personal license server using a same protocol as when communicating with the license server.
3. The personal license server of claim 1, wherein the personal license server client communicates with the personal license server using a different protocol than a protocol used to communicate with the license server.
4. The personal license server of claim 1, wherein the personal license server is part of a memory card.
5. The personal license server of claim 1, wherein the personal license server is part of a host device operative to be connected with a memory card.
6. The personal license server of claim 1, wherein the personal license server is part of a network-attached storage (NAS) device.
7. The personal license server of claim 1, wherein the DRM license provided to the second mobile device is different from the DRM license received by the personal license server.
8. The personal license server of claim 1, wherein the DRM license comprises a session key.
9. A method for using a personal license server of a first mobile device, the method comprising:
receiving, with a personal license server, a digital rights management (DRM) license from a license server, wherein the DRM license is configured for use by a playback system of the first mobile device that is associated with the personal license server of the first mobile device;
storing, with the personal license server, the DRM license;
receiving a redirected license request sent from a second mobile device that is distinct from the first mobile device, wherein the redirected license request originally specified the license server, but was redirected to the personal license server of the first mobile device; and
in response to the redirected license request, communicating the DRM license from the personal license server of the first mobile device to the second mobile device;
wherein a personal license server client that communicates the redirected license request to the personal license server is operative to perform name resolution.
10. The method of claim 9, wherein the personal license server client communicates with the personal license server using a same protocol as when communicating with the license server.
11. The method of claim 9, wherein the personal license server client communicates with the personal license server using a different protocol than a protocol used to communicate with the license server.
12. The method of claim 9, wherein the personal license server is part of a memory card.
13. The method of claim 9, wherein the personal license server is part of a host device operative to be connected with a memory card.
14. The method of claim 9, wherein the personal license server is part of a network-attached storage (NAS) device.
15. The method of claim 9, wherein the DRM license provided to the second mobile device is different from the DRM license received by the personal license server.
16. The method of claim 9, wherein the DRM license comprises a session key.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method of cleaning robotic surgical instruments, the method comprising:
inserting a tool-end of a robotic surgical instrument into a tool-end cleaning chamber that is fluidly interfaced to a pump;
fluidly interfacing a suction orifice of a control box of the robotic surgical instrument to a second pump;
submerging the robotic surgical instrument in cleaning fluid within an ultrasonic immersion tank, the ultrasonic immersion tank having a transducer that emits ultrasonic waves;
pulling the cleaning fluid from within the tool-end cleaning chamber by the pump, thereby drawing the cleaning fluid into the tool-end cleaning chamber through a plurality of intake holes in a body of the tool-end cleaning chamber, thereby creating turbulence for cleaning a tool-end of a robotic surgical instrument that has been inserted into the tool-end cleaning chamber;
pulling the cleaning fluid into the control box of the robotic surgical instrument by the second pump, the cleaning fluid entering the control box of the robotic surgical instrument through another orifice, thereby pulling the cleaning fluid from the another orifice and then out of the suction orifice; and
generating ultrasonic waves to dislodge debris from the tool-end of the robotic surgical instrument.
2. The method of cleaning robotic surgical instruments of claim 1, further comprising filtering of debris from the cleaning fluid from within the tool-end cleaning chamber before the cleaning fluid is returned back into the ultrasonic immersion tank.
3. The method of cleaning robotic surgical instruments of claim 1, further comprising filtering of debris from the cleaning fluid from the another orifice of the control box before the cleaning fluid is returned back into the ultrasonic immersion tank.
4. The method of cleaning robotic surgical instruments of claim 1, wherein the tool-end cleaning chamber is made of steel, and the pump is interfaced to the pump by a port on one side of the tool-end cleaning chamber and the plurality of intake holes are on an opposing side of the tool-end cleaning chamber.
5. The method of cleaning robotic surgical instruments of claim 1, wherein the second pump interfaces to the suction orifice of the control box of the robotic surgical instrument by a male-male fitting.
6. The method of cleaning robotic surgical instruments of claim 1, wherein the second pump interfaces to the suction orifice of the control box of the robotic surgical instrument by a control boxshaft-end cleaning chamber.
7. The method of cleaning robotic surgical instruments of claim 1, wherein the tool-end cleaning chamber has a hollow body made of steel and the tool-end cleaning chamber has an open end that is covered by a flexible nipple cap having an orifice and the step of inserting the tool-end of the robotic surgical instrument into the tool-end cleaning chamber is accomplished by inserting the tool-end of the robotic surgical instrument through the orifice in the flexible nipple cap.
