The invention primarily relates to fastening and stabilizing tissues, implants, and/or bondable materials, such as the fastening of a tissue and/or implant to a bondable material, the fastening of an implant to tissue, and/or the fastening of an implant to another implant. This may involve using an energy source to bond and/or mechanically to stabilize a tissue, an implant, a bondable material, and/or other biocompatible material. The invention may also relate to the use of an energy source to remove and/or install an implant and/or bondable material or to facilitate solidification and/or polymerization of bondable material.

Methods and devices for utilizing bondable materials

An electrical stimulation device for modulating a blood-brain barrier (BBB) of a subject includes at least one electrode configured to delivery electrical stimulation to the subject to stimulate a sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) of the subject, and a control unit in communication with the at least one electrode. The control unit generates a first electrical stimulation signal to the at least one electrode to apply a first electrical stimulation to the subject to stimulate a sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG) of the subject thereby increasing porosity of the BBB from an initial porosity to an increased porosity, and generate, after said first electrical stimulation signal, a second electrical stimulation signal to the at least one electrode to apply a second electrical stimulation to the subject to stimulate the SPG of the subject thereby decreasing porosity of the BBB from the increased porosity to a decreased porosity that is less than the increased porosity.

Optimizing and/or personalizing activities to a user through artificial intelligence and/or virtual reality.

Artificial intelligence and/or virtual reality for activity optimization/personalization

Systems and methods for use in capturing energy from natural resources. In one form, the systems and methods capture energy from natural resources, such as movement of fluid in a body of water, and convert it into electrical energy.

Systems and methods for energy harvest

A disinfecting system includes a housing. An ultraviolet light (UV) source is secured to the housing and configured to emit UV light for disinfection of a target. A processor is secured to the housing in communication with the UV light source. The processor is configured to activate the UV light source for a selected amount of time suitable for disinfection of the target.

Systems and methods for disinfection

A system for visualizing a surgical site is provided. The system includes a robotic mechanism for performing a procedure on a patient, an imaging device coupled to the robotic mechanism, the imaging device configured to provide image data of a site of interest, and a computing device coupled to the imaging device. The computing device includes one or more processors and at least one memory device configured to store executable instructions. The executable instructions, when executed by the processor, are configured to receive the image data of the site of interest, track motion patterns of the site of interest in the received image data, filter the received image data to remove line-of-sight restrictions therein and alter pixels therein based on the tracked motion patterns, and generate an output frame from the filtered image data. The system also includes a presentation interface device coupled to the computing device and configured to present the output frame for visualization of the site of interest.

Systems and methods for navigation and visualization

Data encryption and Human Pose Estimation based on imaging a body segment. A key for encrypting a data file is generated based on image data that represent a unique biometric feature of a body segment of a user or motion of the user. An image engine executes artificial intelligence to identify matching image data for decrypting the data file. The image engine is further trained to predict changes in image data due to aging, stress, and the like. An avatar associated with the user, which is generated based on a movement pattern of the user, is configurable for generating an encryption key and for use in an avatar-based language.

This disclosure provides an enhanced operating table and room, an insulated conductor, and a filtration system. The table includes an attachment, controlling parameters during surgery, a control, and a console. The attachment is moveable relative to at least one reference point. The console allows monitoring parameters during surgery. The room includes sensors integrated throughout and a data module in communication with the sensors. The data module receives data from the plurality of sensors, stores the received data in memory, and analyzes and processes the stored data. The insulated conductor includes an electrical conductor and an insulator. The insulator partially electrically or thermally insulates the electrical conductor. The filtration system removes particles within a fluid A transducer generates a pressure gradient to promote the particles to flow. Alternatively, the filtration system can include a robotic system. The robotic system charges particles such that the particles within the fluid adhere.

Robotic systems, operating room systems, insulated conductor including biologically active material, microplastic filter, and combinations thereof

A surgical system and method of operating the same involve a surgical operating table is controllable and adjustable and that supports a patient thereon. A robotic system includes a moveable arm that supports and moves an end effector relative to a surgical site of the patient. Controller(s) coupled to the surgical operating table and to the robotic system associate a virtual boundary with respect to the surgical site and detect that the end effector is outside of the virtual boundary. In response to detection of the end effector being outside of the virtual boundary, the controller(s) command adjustment of the surgical operating table to reposition the surgical site and the virtual boundary to enable the end effector to be inside the virtual boundary.

An iontophoresis system includes a preloaded reservoir containing one or more doses of a therapeutic agent. As a result, the therapeutic agent does not have to be loaded into the reservoir prior to use. In such a system, the preloaded reservoir is generally disposable. Various components of the iontophoresis system can be combined with the reservoir in a disposable cartridge that is selectively connectable to other, reusable components of the iontophoresis system. In addition, the entire iontophoresis system can be formed from one or more disposable, one-time-use modules.

Systems and methods for delivery of therapeutic agents

The disclosure provides a composition for inhibiting thrombosis. The composition includes 5 to 25% by weight of Fish Oil, 15 to 55% by weight of Willow Bark Extract, and 0.2 to 5% by weight of Vitamin E.
