Abstract: According to various embodiments, there is provided a device including a processor configured to control a robotic system to autonomously position a transducer at a plurality of locations adjacent a subject's skull and to autonomously locate a window on the subject's skull within which an artery can be located, from which artery a signal can be returned to the transducer, the signal having an energy level exceeding a predefined threshold.

Abstract: According to various embodiments, there is provided a headset mountable on a head, the headset including a probe for emitting energy into the head. The headset further includes a support structure coupled to the probe. The support structure includes translation actuators for translating the probe along axes about a surface of the head.

Abstract: Methods and associated devices and algorithms for programming a therapy for an implanted baroreflex activation system are described and may include determining one or more programmable operating parameters of the therapy which do not cause a patient to experience extraneous stimulation associated with the therapy and programming the implanted baroreflex stimulation system with programmable operating parameters.

Abstract: Embodiments of a Low Dropout (LDO) regulator are provided in which an n-channel Metal Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MESFET) is utilized as a pass transistor of the LDO regulator. In one embodiment, the LDO regulator is implemented on an integrated circuit die and includes an n-channel Semiconductor-on-lnsulator (SOI) MESFET pass transistor. A voltage applied to a substrate of the SOI MESFET pass transistor is controlled to configure the LDO regulator in either an ultra-low dropout voltage mode or a high Power Supply Rejection (PSR) mode. In another embodiment, the LDO regulator includes an re-channel MESFET pass transistor and a switch that operates to disconnect the MESFET pass transistor from a supply voltage of the LDO regulator when the LDO regulator is desired to be shut off.
