Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-program products for video encoding for autonomous vehicles are disclosed. A method for video encoding for autonomous vehicles may include receiving image data associated with a plurality of images from at least one camera of an autonomous vehicle. The image data may be encoded into a plurality of video streams including at least one first video stream and at least one second video stream. The at least one first video stream may be associated with a first quality level. The at least one second video stream may be associated with a second quality level different than the first quality level. At least one of the plurality of video streams may be communicated to at least one data storage device.

Abstract: Various forms are directed to systems and methods for operating a surgical instrument that includes a generator configured to provide an energy signal for treating tissue. The generator includes one or more ports for delivering the energy signal to one or more surgical instruments configured to treat tissue, and the one or more surgical instruments are electrically coupled to the respective one or more ports simultaneously. The energy signal includes an energy component comprising one or more energy modalities that is delivered through the one or more ports. The one or more energy modalities includes ultrasonic, bipolar radio frequency (RF), monopolar RF, reversible electroporation, irreversible electroporation, or microwave component, or any combination thereof.

Abstract: Various forms are directed to systems and methods apparatus for operating a surgical instrument that includes an adapter configured to couple to a generator. The generator configured to provide an energy signal for treating tissue The adapter includes at least one input port configured to receive the energy signal from the generator, where the energy signal includes an energy component comprising one or more energy modalities. An energy storage circuit is configured to charge and store energy from the generator as a DC output. The adapter also includes at least one output port configured to couple to one or more surgical instruments for treating tissue. The one or more energy modalities comprises any one of an ultrasonic, a bipolar radio frequency (RF), a monopolar RF, a reversible electroporation, an irreversible electroporation, or a microwave component, or any combination thereof.
