Abstract: A system for controlling a high-power drive device includes a fault detection integrated circuit product configured to provide an indication of a fault condition associated with the high-power drive device to a first terminal in a first voltage domain in response to detecting the fault condition in a second voltage domain. The system includes a gate driver controller integrated circuit product configured to drive a second terminal coupled to a control node in a second voltage domain based on a control signal and an enable signal received from a third terminal in the first voltage domain. The second voltage domain is higher than the first voltage domain. The system may include a redundant fault reporting integrated circuit product or an additional fault detection integrated circuit product configured to detect a second fault condition in the second voltage domain that is different from the fault condition.

Abstract: A multimodal optical imaging platform is used to obtain cerebral perfusion-metabolism mismatch metrics for rapid assessment of acute brain injury, ongoing (real-time) feedback to optimize cardiopulmonary resuscitation to improve neurological outcome, and rapid prognosis of recovery. Light of several wavelengths and types is delivered to the tissue, which is then absorbed and scattered by tissue components such as blood and cellular components. Some of this light scatters back to the surface, where it is captured by a detector. The resulting data are processed to obtain blood flow and oxygenation parameters, as well as tissue scattering. These parameters are then combined to calculate metabolism and flow-metabolism coupling/decoupling metrics, which are used to determine ischemic damage, ongoing need for optimal blood flow and oxygenation, and to predict cerebral recovery in patients with acute brain injury during and immediately after cardiac arrest, stroke, traumatic brain injury, etc.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for hosting block storage volumes in a hosted computing environment that are supported by multiple underlying elements and that are distributed among physical host devices in a manner that provides for resiliency of the volumes in instances of power failure. As disclosed herein, a block storage volume may be supported by a combination of underlying elements, such as replicas that store data of the volume and replicated authority nodes that designate authority of a replica to accept writes to the volume. To ensure resiliency to power failure, both replicas and authority nodes can be distributed among physical host devices that are supplied by independent power supplies, such that failure of one independent power supply does not render the volume non-operational.
