Abstract: A mobile processing system is disclosed for the removal of radioactive contaminants from nuclear process wastewater. The system is fully scalable, modular, and portable allowing the system to be fully customizable according to site-specific remediation requirements. It is designed to be both transported and operated from standard sized intermodal containers or custom designed enclosures for increased mobility between sites and on-site, further increasing the speed and ease with which the system may be deployed. Additionally, the system is completely modular wherein the various modules perform different forms or stages of wastewater remediation and may be connected in parallel and/or in series. Depending on the needs of the site, one or more different processes may be used. In some embodiments, one or more of the same modules may be used in the same operation.

Abstract: Methods and systems for depth-based foveated rendering in a display system are disclosed. The display system may be an augmented reality display system configured to provide virtual content on a plurality of depth planes using different wavefront divergence. Some embodiments include monitoring eye orientations of a user of the display system. A fixation point can be determined based on the eye orientations, the fixation point representing a three-dimensional location with respect to a field of view. Location information of virtual object(s) to present is obtained, with the location information including three-dimensional position(s) of the virtual object(s). A resolution of the virtual object(s) can be adjusted based on a proximity of the location(s) of the virtual object(s) to the fixation point. The virtual object(s) are presented by the display system according to the adjusted resolution(s).

Abstract: A vapor delivery system and method is provided that is adapted for treating prostate tissue. The vapor delivery system includes a vapor delivery needle configured to deliver condensable vapor energy to tissue. In one method, the vapor delivery system is advanced transurethrally into the patient to access the prostate tissue. The vapor delivery system includes a generator unit and an inductive heating system to produce a high quality vapor for delivery to tissue. Methods of use are also provided.

Abstract: An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid can include a wall defining a recess. The slider can be configured to slide in the recess and can be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers the opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container, and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents may be poured from the container. The slider can be configured to be removable from the lid and can be replaced back on the lid. Additionally, the slider can be formed from upper and lower sled elements that are magnetically coupled to one another.

Abstract: An atherectomy system includes a drive mechanism adapted to rotatably actuate an atherectomy burr and a controller that is adapted to operate the drive mechanism in a first operating mode in which the atherectomy burr is operated at a speed reference and with a predetermined torque limit. The controller is adapted to determine when the atherectomy burr becomes stuck while in the first operating mode and is further adapted to, when the atherectomy burr becomes stuck, operate the drive mechanism in a second operating mode that is different from the first operating mode.

Abstract: The various embodiments disclosed herein relate to surgical robot positioning systems and devices that aid in the gross positioning of surgical devices during surgical procedures. For example, a gross positioning system for use with a robotic surgical device may include a positioning body, a yaw mechanism operably coupled to the positioning body at a yaw rotational joint, a pitch mechanism operably coupled to the positioning body at a pitch rotational joint, and a plunge mechanism operably coupled to the pitch mechanism, where the plunge mechanism is configured to slide and to be coupleable to the robotic surgical device.

Abstract: The embodiments described herein relate to a self-positioning, quick-deployment low profile transvenous electrode system for sequentially pacing both the atrium and ventricle of the heart in the “dual chamber” mode having an atraumatic tip comprising a domed head connected to a cylindrical sidewall, said cylindrical sidewall having a sloped proximal edge connected to a tapered coupling, said tapered coupling forming a smooth transition to an outer diameter of the insulated wire, and methods for deploying the same.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a solid state drive (SSD) comprises a plurality of non-volatile memory dies communicatively arranged in one or more communication channels, each of the plurality of non-volatile memory dies comprising a plurality of physical blocks, one or more channel controllers communicatively coupled to the one or more communication channels, respectively, and a memory controller communicatively coupled to the plurality of non-volatile memory dies via the one or more channel controllers, wherein the memory controller is configured to assign (i) the plurality of physical blocks of a first die of the plurality of non-volatile memory dies to only a first region and (ii) the plurality of physical blocks of a second die of the plurality of non-volatile memory dies to only a second region, perform only read operations on the first region in a first operation mode, and perform write operations or maintenance operations on the second region in a second operation mode concurrently with read operations on the fir

Abstract: An electronic device included a first energy storage device coupled to a second energy storage device by a conductor. A charging node is coupled to the first energy storage device. Another conductor couples the charging node to the second energy storage device. A switch is electrically coupled between the conductor and the second energy storage device. A control circuit opens the switch, thereby allowing a first charging current to flow from the charging node to the first energy storage device through the conductor and a second charging current to flow from the charging node to the second energy storage device through the other conductor and closes the switch when a difference between a voltage of the first energy storage device and a voltage of the second energy storage device is within a predefined voltage difference threshold.
