A pulsed focused ultrasound (pFUS) system, including a dual mode ultrasound probe comprising a plurality of ultrasound emitting elements, wherein a first group of elements of the plurality of elements is configured to generate therapy ultrasound bursts, and wherein a subset of the first group of elements is configured to generate imaging ultrasound bursts. Further, a method for tissue treatment in a subject using pulsed focused ultrasound (pFUS), including operating a dual-mode ultrasound probe as a therapy ultrasound probe and operating the dual-mode ultrasound probe as an imaging ultrasound probe where the dual-mode ultrasound probe is configured for generating the therapy ultrasound bursts and the imaging ultrasound bursts by same ultrasound emitting elements.

An example method includes identifying a first segment of an electrocardiogram (ECG) that ends prior to administration of an electrical shock and identifying at least one second segment of the ECG that begins after the administration of the electrical shock. The example method further includes predicting, based on the first segment and the at least one second segment, that the ECG is indicative of a defibrillation-resistant heart rhythm. The first segment is converted into a first scalogram, and the at least one segment is converted into at least one second scalogram. The defibrillation-resistant heart rhythm is predicted based on comparisons between the scalograms and the eigenscalograms. An indication of the predicted defibrillation-resistant heart rhythm is output.

This disclosure describes systems, apparatuses, and methods that utilize electric field sensing in an antenna topology. In some embodiments, the systems, apparatuses, and methods use a sensing modality, such as bio-impedance sensing, to detect and/or determine one or more user activities. The bio-impedance sensing can be used for held-object or touched-object recognition, gesture input recognition (e.g., recognition of one-handed gestures, two-handed gestures, etc.), user interface (UI) interaction by utilizing electrically passive components, and/or biometric identification and/or authentication.

A radioisotope target station, including a target housing. The target housing includes a target material, and a target backing material. The radioisotope target station includes a loader mechanism comprising at least one jaw configured to secure the target housing, a loading position comprising a magazine, wherein the magazine is configured to hold two or more target housings, an irradiation position comprising a beam, where the beam is configured to irradiate the target housing orthogonally, a cooling fluid source fluidly coupled to the loader mechanism, where the cooling fluid source is configured to cool the target housing as the target housing is irradiated, and an ejection position comprising an ejector and an ejection chute, where the ejector is configured to detach the target housing from the loader mechanism and the ejection chute is configured to receive the target housing when detached.
