  • Patent number: 10965093
    Abstract: Methods and systems enabling the real-time monitoring of a light-induced procedure in a biological medium, and/or the acquisition of information related to this biological medium are provided. In some implementations, the light beam used for the procedure is modulated at a modulation frequency selected in view of the photoacoustic frequency response associated with the procedure. The photoacoustic feedback signal from the medium during the procedure is then monitored. This monitoring may involve filtering the photoacoustic feedback signal around the selected feedback modulation frequency. Ratiometric comparisons of the contribution of different frequencies to the photoacoustic feedback signal are also considered.

  • Publication number: 20200341736
    Abstract: An interactive software development environment in one embodiment can interactively provide outputs of execution or evaluation of software entered into the environment prior to compilation of the software and can automatically add one or more error handling expressions that isolate errors from effecting future software. The environment can automatically add the one or more error handling expressions for each line for software or for a set of software to wrap the set to catch and isolate errors. The execution or evaluation of software in the environment can be, for example, by read-evaluate-print-loop functionality provided by the environment.
