Abstract: An all-in-one ultrasound therapy system configured for the treatment of tissue is provided, which may include any number of features. Provided herein are systems and methods that provide efficacious non-invasive and minimally invasive therapeutic, diagnostic and research procedures. In particular, provided herein are optimized systems and methods that provide targeted, efficacious ultrasound therapy in a variety of different regions and under a variety of different conditions without causing undesired tissue damage to intervening/non-target tissues or structures. The ultrasound therapy can include modalities such as histotripsy, hyperthermia/radio-sensitization, HIFU microbubble-enhanced drug delivery, immunotherapy, sonodynamic therapy, and/or neuromodulation.

Abstract: A rechargeable battery jump starting device having detachable positive and negative cables. The rechargeable battery jump starting device, including a rechargeable battery connected to a positive cam-lock cable connecting device and a negative cam-lock cable connecting device. The rechargeable battery jump starting device can include a highly electrically conductive frame connecting the rechargeable battery to the cam-lock cable devices.

Abstract: A rechargeable battery jump starting device with a dual battery diode bridge system. The dual battery diode bridge, for example, is configured to protect against a back-charge to a first battery and/or a second battery after a vehicle has been jump charged to prevent damage thereto.

Abstract: A virtualization platform for Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) is provided. The virtualization platform may include a host processor coupled to an acceleration coprocessor. The acceleration coprocessor may be a reconfigurable integrated circuit to help provide improved flexibility and agility for the NFV. The coprocessor may include multiple virtual function hardware acceleration modules each of which is configured to perform a respective accelerator function. A virtual machine running on the host processor may wish to perform multiple accelerator functions in succession at the coprocessor on a given data. In one suitable arrangement, intermediate data output by each of the accelerator functions may be fed back to the host processor. In another suitable arrangement, the successive function calls may be chained together so that only the final resulting data is fed back to the host processor.

Abstract: A jump starter for charging or boosting a depleted or discharged battery, the jump starting device, including a rechargeable battery; a positive battery connector for connecting the jump starting device to a positive terminal of the battery; a negative battery connector for connecting the jump starting device to a negative terminal of the battery; a power switch for connecting the rechargeable battery to the depleted or discharged battery when connected to the jump starting device during charging operation of the depleted or discharged battery; a first detector for detecting presence of the depleted or discharged battery connected to the positive and negative battery connectors; and a second detector for detecting presence of the depleted or discharged battery connected to the positive and negative battery connectors.

Abstract: A battery clamp having a first inner metal battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion, a second inner metal battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion, a first outer insulating battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion connected to the first inner metal battery clamp, and a second outer insulating battery clamp member having a handle portion and a clamp portion connected to the second inner metal battery clamp. The first inner metal battery clamp member and/or the second inner metal battery clamp member having a battery cable connector configured to allow a user to access the battery cable connector with the user's fingers or a tool while avoiding interference with the handle portions of the battery clamp.

Abstract: A portable jump starter and air compressor device, including a jump starter, air compressor, and/or vacuum cleaner. One or more of the jump starter, air compressor, and/or vacuum cleaner are powered a same or different one or more rechargeable batteries (e.g. one or more Li-ion batteries). The air compressor, for example, includes a piston/valve arrangement configured to allow a piston of the piston/valve arrangement to move in close proximity to a cylinder head of the cylinder of the air compressor.

Abstract: A communication system is described in which an MBMS service is provided by unicast or broadcast/multicast communication in dependence on whether the number of mobile communication devices indicating an interest in receiving the service is below or above a broadcast threshold. An improved procedure for counting the number of mobile communication devices interested in receiving the MBMS service is also disclosed.

Abstract: A battery, for example, a rechargeable battery (e.g. lithium ion battery) having a casing with battery terminals. The casing, for example, includes an upper section, middle section, and lower section connected together. The battery can be connected to one or more battery trays having the same height or different heights for various applications.
