The feedforward control module is configured to generate an adjustment profile to control a parameter of a generator in accordance with a desired output signal. The feedforward control module generates a plurality of adjustment values in accordance with sub-regions of the output signal. Each sub-region includes a portion of the desired output signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a novel approach for consumer-driven interaction with sequencing data or genomic information. Sequencing data access, for users with a variety of access and permissions, may be mediated by a central hub. The hub may also facilitate access to the sequencing data for third party software applications. The hub may also provide data analysis or may have access to analyzed data to use such data in providing a user interface for a genome owner or for non-owner secondary users of the system.

Abstract: A surgical robot can be configured for minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and other types of surgery with modular link geometry and disposable components. In some examples, the surgical robot includes a cable driver comprising at least one drive motor configured for tensioning a cable. The surgical robot includes an articulated surgical tool coupled to the drive motor by the cable. The articulated surgical tool comprises at least first and second articulated links and a joint coupling the first and second articulated links. The cable passes through the joint, and the joint comprises an elastic antagonist biased in opposition to tension from the cable to allow bidirectional actuation of the joint. The surgical robot includes a safety lock configured to lock the joint from allowing articulation of the first and second articulated links in response to a loss of tension in the cable.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) power delivery system includes a first RF generator and a second RF generator. The first RF generator operates as a master RF generator, and the second RF generator operates as a slave RF generator. The slave RF generator includes a detector for sensing an electrical characteristic of the RF signal of the slave RF generator. The slave RF generator also includes a detector for sensing an electrical characteristic of the RF signal from the master RF generator. Operation of the slave RF generator is controlled by a host or controller. The host or controller operates the slave RF generator in accordance with electrical properties determined by the second detector.
