Abstract: A medical implant system for implantation in a patient to treat erectile dysfunction includes a first fluid path, an inflatable penile prosthesis cylinder, an electric pump, and implant controller, and an implantable power supply. The inflatable penile prosthesis cylinder is in fluid communication with the first fluid path and is configured for implantation in a corpus cavernosum of a patient. The electric pump is in fluid communication with the first fluid path. The implant controller is electrically coupled to the pump and is configured to activate the pump to drive a flow of fluid through the first fluid path and into the cylinder. The implantable power supply provides electrical power to the pump.

Abstract: A microwave imaging sensor is disclosed which is resilient to background and skin clutter. Resilience is obtained by cancellation of skin reflections without mechanical displacement of the microwave antenna array or the subject, by utilizing reflections from other antennas and compensating for differences in propagation. The cancellation takes into consideration the expected strength of the reflection at different points in time and for different pairs, in order to minimize the effects on the image, and particularly on image reconstruction of symmetric targets.
