Abstract: Systems and methods for sensing tissue in a phacoemulsification procedure are provided herein. A method may include generating a sensing signal through a frequency range centered at a local resonant frequency of an ultrasonic handpiece and measuring impedance characteristics of the signal at a distal end of a needle of an ultrasonic handpiece. A method may further include comparing the measured impedance characteristics of the generated sensing signal with one or more stored impedance profiles. A method may further include classifying, based on the comparison between the measured impedance characteristics and the stored one or more impedance profiles, a medium contacting the distal end of the needle. A method may further include controlling an output of the ultrasonic handpiece based on the classification of the medium contacting the tip of the needle.

Abstract: Patient health data and consent data may be managed. Conditional consent by a patient may be provided for utilizing their private health data in one or more of the following: the adaptation of procedures, instrument operation, system configuration, display of results and/or plans for device usage. The patient granted consent may be associated with one or more condition(s), stipulation(s), and/or limitations of the scope, duration, and/or usage of their health data. A health data management system may check that patient data is only being used in accordance with the consent data (e.g., for the agreed upon purpose(s) and for the agreed upon time).

Abstract: A data system may adjust the input data to a machine learning model based on a change in a consent associated with a patient. The data system may detect the change in the consent associated with the patient. The data system may identify private data associated with the change in the consent. The data system may identify a machine learning model to which the private data has contributed. The data system may determine input data that has contributed to the machine learning model. The input data may include the private data. The data system may determine, based on the change in the consent associated with the private data, whether to replace the private data in the input data with replacement data. The data system may adjust the input data based on the determination of whether to replace the private data in the input data with replacement data.

Abstract: A pesticidal composition comprises at least one nonionic surfactant and an active ingredient group alpha (AIGA) compound at the weight ratio of nonionic surfactant to AIGA compound of at least about 20:1. The pesticidal composition shows an enhanced residue activity of the AIGA compound in soil. A method of controlling a sap-feeding insect on a top part of the plant comprises applying a pesticidally effective amount of such pesticidal composition to soil around a root system of the plant. A method of controlling pests comprises applying a pesticidally effective amount of such pesticidal composition to at least one of: soil, seed of a plant, a portion of a plant, and locus where control of pests is desired.

Abstract: A pesticidal composition comprises at least one soil conditioner selected from the group consisting of organic soil conditioners, microorganisms, activators, and combinations thereof and an active ingredient group alpha (AIGA) compound. The weight ratio of soil conditioner to AIGA compound is at least about 20:1. The pesticidal composition shows an enhanced residue activity of the AIGA compound in soil. A method of controlling a sap-feeding insect on a top part of the plant comprises applying a pesticidally effective amount of such pesticidal composition to soil around a root system of the plant. A method of controlling pests comprises applying a pesticidally effective amount of such pesticidal composition to at least one of: soil, seed of a plant, a portion of a plant, and locus where control of pests is desired.
