Abstract: A system includes: an ultrasound array comprising a plurality of transducer elements, wherein: a first subset of the plurality of transducer elements are configured to emit ultrasound pulses through the subject's skull for performing a neuro-modulation of the subject's brain, and a second subset of the plurality of transducer elements are configured to receive ultrasound signals from the subject's skull and brain in response to the ultrasound pulses being emitted from the first subset of the plurality of transducer elements; and a controller coupled to the ultrasound array, wherein the controller is configured to: generate at least one image depicting at least a portion of the subject's skull and brain based on, at least in part, the ultrasound signals received by the second subset of the plurality of transducer elements, and adapt the neuro-modulation of the subject's brain based on, at least in part, the at least one image.

Abstract: A system includes: a form factor device sized and shaped to accommodate a subject's skull; an ultrasound array comprising a plurality of transducer elements attached to the form factor device, wherein the plurality of transducer elements are configured to: emit ultrasound pulses through the subject's skull for performing a neuro-modulation of the subject's brain during use of the system, and receive ultrasound signals from the subject's skull and brain in response to the ultrasound pulses being emitted; and a controller coupled to the ultrasound array, wherein the controller is configured, during use of the system, to: generate at least one image depicting at least a portion of the subject's skull and brain based on, at least in part, the received ultrasound signals received, and adapt the neuro-modulation of the subject's brain based on, at least in part, the at least one image during use of the system.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer-storage media, for selective heating. In some implementations, a cooking device for selective heating includes a cavity, one or more waveguides coupled to the cavity, a power generation means coupled to the one or more waveguides and configured to generate an incident power, one or more apertures between the cavity and the one or more waveguides, and a controller configured to control one or more of the power generation means, the apertures, or a cavity geometry. A cooking device cavity geometry can be dynamically configurable. The cooking device can include one or more sensors coupled to the cavity.
