Abstract: A medical device system configured to dynamically control a shaver window opening via controlling positioning of an opening in an inner drive shaft relative to an opening in an outer housing based on continuously tracking the motor is disclosed. The medical device system may include a shaver at a distal end and an aspiration system configured to aspirate material through the inner drive shaft.

Abstract: A device and system for real-time visualization of the electrophysiologic activity of a brain, particularly at the cortical surface. The neural device can acquire, process, and display high-spatiotemporal-resolution electrophysiologic data in real-time across entire electrode arrays spanning many thousands of electrodes over identified anatomic regions. The system is compatible with thin-film cortical surface electrodes that record from neural tissues without damaging those tissues. The system can be used to guide diagnostic and therapeutic actions with high precision, and also provides the basis for a brain-computer interface.

Abstract: A visible fish strike indicator may include a buoyant main housing with a horizontal center axis and center of gravity beneath the horizontal center axis allowing the indicator to float upright on water. A light-transmissible housing can be detachably supported by the main housing, with an indicator illumination assembly that includes an accelerometer. The accelerometer senses the indicator's position and accelerative forces. A microprocessor interfaces with the accelerometer to analyze position data and generate command signals. These signals control a current-limiting resistor system, which regulates electrical currents to an RGB LED system. This light-transmissible housing emits different colors to signal indicator operation or a fish strike.
