Abstract: Described here are devices, systems, and methods for applying pulsed or modulated electric fields to tissue. In some variations, a device may comprise a first elongate body comprising a lumen, a second elongate body at least partially positioned within the lumen, and an expandable member rolled about the second elongate body. The expandable member may comprise an inner end coupled to the second elongate body, an outer end coupled to the first elongate body, and an electrode array.

Abstract: System and methods for non-contact monitoring in vehicles are described. The systems and methods may use depth sensing cameras as part of the non-contact monitoring system. In some embodiments, depth data from at least one depth sensing device that has a field of view of at least part of the interior of the vehicle is received, wherein the depth data represents depth information as a function of position across the field of view. The depth data is then processed to obtain further information related to the occupant within the vehicle.

Abstract: In some methods, sampled values based on a reception signal are stored in rows and columns of a memory array. A first 1-dimensional (1D) detector is moved in a first direction over the memory array. The first 1D detector includes a first cell under test and first and second training cells on opposite sides of the first cell under test. The first cell under test and the first and second training cells of the first 1D detector being aligned in the first direction. A second 1D detector is moved over the memory array. The second 1D detector includes a second cell under test and third and fourth training cells on opposite sides of the second cell under test. The second cell under test and the third and fourth training cells of the second 1D detector are aligned in a second direction that is perpendicular to the first direction.

Abstract: An antivortex device for use in suppressing formation of a vortex created by fluid flowing through multiple outlet ports defined in a sump is provided. The antivortex device includes a plurality of center plates extending through a central axis of the sump, an extension plate substantially aligned with one of the plurality of center plates and extending substantially radially outward from the central axis, and a top plate coupled to the plurality of center plates.

Abstract: A liquid reservoir with a sump includes at least two outlet ports in fluid communication with a fluid conduit. An anti-vortex device includes a first plate extending across the at least two outlet ports and a second plate coupled to the first plate and extending substantially perpendicular to the first plate. The anti-vortex device is configured to disrupt formation of a vortex formed by liquid passing from the reservoir through said outlet ports.

Abstract: A system comprises a radar for producing a radar interrogation signal, a transponder for receiving the radar interrogation signal and producing a transponder signal including a first linear frequency modulated pulse having an increasing frequency and a second linear frequency modulated pulse having a decreasing frequency, and a processor for processing the transponder signal to determine a frequency offset between the radar interrogation signal and the transponder signal.

Abstract: A seat recliner assembly having a fixed gear plate having a gear portion formed therein. The gear portion is disposed about a first slot that includes a first raised collar. A movable plate having a gear portion formed therein and disposed about a second slot also includes a second raised collar. The gear portion of the movable plate is in operating engagement with the gear portion of the fixed plate and defines an annular race between an outer surface of the first raised collar and an inner surface of the second raised collar. A bearing member is disposed concentric to the inner surface of the second raised collar. First and second wedge members are disposed in the annular race and engage the bearing member. Each of the wedge members includes first and second contact features. A spring member engaging each of the wedge members biases the wedge members apart. A hub member is engaged with a drive shaft and projects through the first slot.
