Abstract: Disclosed are embodiments for facilitating restarting operations for recovery processes in autonomous systems. In some aspects, an embodiment includes determining that an autonomous vehicle (AV) is experiencing a failure condition; identifying a plurality of restart operations to apply to one or more components of the AV contributing to the failure condition; prior to applying a restart operation of the plurality of restart operations, determining that safety conditions corresponding to the restart operation are satisfied; and applying the plurality of restart operations to the AV in accordance with an increasing order of disruptiveness of each of the restart operations to operations of the AV.

Abstract: A system that provides the ability to integrate both diagnostic tissue detection and therapeutic tissue treatment functionality in an implantable medical device (IMD), such as a graft or stent. The system comprises: an IMD having a pair of electrodes configured to contact biological tissue at an implant location; an impedance sensor configured to detect data indicative of a complex impedance of the biological tissue at the electrodes for a plurality of frequencies; and an analysis device configured to determine one or more cell types in the biological tissue using information indicative of variation in phase and magnitude of the complex impedance across the plurality of frequencies. The system may include a signal generator for applying a treatment signal to the same electrodes.
