Abstract: Example systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for electroporating cells in a tissue using a set of voltage pulses generated by capacitor charge circuitry based on a voltage supply. An example method includes continuously monitoring a set of characteristics of the voltage supply and the set of voltage pulses; generating a first set of monitor signals based on the set of characteristics; detecting a first fault condition based on the first set of monitor signals; and generating a first crowbar trigger activation signal. The example computer method further includes: detecting a second fault condition based on a second set of monitor signals generated based on the first set of monitor signals; and generating a second crowbar trigger activation signal. Subsequently, the example computer method includes electrically disconnecting the capacitor charge circuitry from electroporation electrode circuitry based on either the first or second crowbar trigger activation signal.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems, methods, and apparatus for electroporation, which may include an applicator; an endoscope, trocar or the like; a generator; and a drug delivery device. The applicator may include a control portion, an insertion tube connected to the control portion, an actuator engaged with the control portion, and a plurality of electrodes comprising a first electrode having a first tip and a second electrode having a second tip. The plurality electrodes may be configured to move between a retracted position and a deployed position in response to actuation by the actuator. A distance between the first tip of the first electrode and the second tip of the second electrode may be greater in the deployed position than in the retracted position. Various treatment methods are also provided.

Abstract: The invention here is a new type of protective cases for the current smart phones and tablets in the market. It has a new concept of how the front structure of the case open and to be secured. This invention is originated from the need of eliminating inconveniences of using current flip cases of smart phones and tablets in the market. By sliding the front cover back into the device, it is more convenient to use. One can easily open the front cover with one hand and secure it. It also eliminates the space that need to flip the front covers around devices. It also secures the front cover better and gives more protection. However, the front cover should be flexible enough to go around the case, and it can be made of various materials that are flexible. The front cover can either contain a transparent area, or can be made of transparent material all together. To function properly, it has to be flexible enough to go around the device.

Abstract: A bundle handling device is provided that includes a frame, a body, a scoop, a ramp and a controller. The body is mounted to the frame and includes a first opening through which bundles are loaded and a second opening through which bundles are discharged. The scoop and the ramp are mounted to the body. The scoop covers a substantial portion of the second opening, while the ramp covers the remaining portion. The controller is coupled to a plurality of actuators and a plurality of sensors, and controls the rotation of the body, the opening and closing of the scoop and the opening and closing of the ramp, in order to discharge a metered portion of bundles through the second opening.
