    Abstract: An electrical channel having inbuilt current limiting is provided. The electrical channel includes an electrode current source. The electrode current source includes a voltage-to-current converter, a negative impedance converter, and at least one passive current limiting component. Further, the voltage-to-current converter is configured to receive an input voltage and output a corresponding output current. Moreover, the negative impedance converter is operatively coupled to the voltage-to-current converter, where the negative impedance converter is configured to cancel an output impedance of the voltage-to-current converter, a parasitic impedance, or both. Also, the passive current limiting component is configured to limit the output current to a load below a threshold value.

    Abstract: The present discussion relates to the delivery of ultrasonic therapy energy to a target region in conjunction with a clear path determination that may assess one or more of: (1) presence of non-soft tissue regions within the therapy beam path (e.g., bone or bone-like structures, gas-filled cavities, and so forth), (2) partial “lift-off” of the probe head; or (3) sufficiency of acoustic coupling. Upon determination or confirmation of at least a partial clear path with respect to some or all of these factors, the therapy beam may be delivered to the target region.

    Abstract: A method includes generating a three-dimensional (3D) surface map associated with a patient from a patient sensor, generating a 3D patient space from the 3D surface map associated with the patient, determining a current pose associated with the patient based on the 3D surface map associated with the patient, comparing the current pose with a desired pose associated with the patient with respect to an imaging system, determining a recommended movement based on the comparison between the current pose and the desired pose, and providing an indication of the recommended movement. The desired pose facilitates imaging of an anatomical feature of the patient by the imaging system and the recommended movement may reposition the patient in the desired pose.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to techniques for neuromodulation delivery. Based on image data acquired from the subject, control parameters controlling energy application of neuromodulating energy may be dynamically changed during the course of the delivery to maintain desired characteristics of the neuromodulating energy. For example, the beam of the neuromodulating energy may be dynamically adjusted to account for movement of an organ during breathing. In another embodiment, a desired region of interest is identified within the subject based on a trained neural network and the acquired image data.

    Abstract: A wearable device for providing ultrasound guidance feedback may include a housing that has a plurality of haptic actuators, and an opening extending along an axis through the housing. The opening may fit about a body part of an operator of an ultrasound probe, and the haptic actuators may pulse in an actuation pattern indicative of one or more suggested movements of the ultrasound probe to position the ultrasound probe in a desired position to acquire imaging data of a region of interest of a patient.
