Abstract: The system and process of therapeutic and effective cavitation by using ultrasound to collapse gas vesicles as well as cavitate the bubbles produced from the collapsed gas vesicles. Therapeutic effect includes, but is not limited to lysing cells by cavitation. The cells expressing the gas vesicles can optionally be used as delivery cells to preform tasks such as transporting the gas vesicles into deep tissue areas, releasing compounds at the cavitation site, and more. The gas vesicles can optionally be modified to facilitate getting the bubbles near the cavitation targets by functionalizing the gas vesicles.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting image depth in three-dimensional (3-D) surface imaging. The disclosed techniques can be used, for example, to provide structured light encoded with a coded word that includes error-correcting code (ECC). The ECC is effectively configured to detect and correct data errors as may result, for example, from the presence of ambient light and/or camera-noise-causing errors during imaging. In an example case, the coded word is a 15-bit pattern provided in a 3×5 matrix and including: (1) nine data bits of disparity code; (2) five ECC bits for correcting an error and detecting two errors; and (3) one 8-bit/10-bit encoding bit to ensure the presence of a transient pixel in the data for white threshold level detection. Greater or lesser bit quantities and varied bit partitioning matrices can be provided, as desired. In some cases, imaging robustness and/or power usage can be improved using the disclosed techniques.
