The present disclosure provides implants, sensor modules, networks, and methods configured to establish transcutaneous power and transcutaneous bidirectional data communication using ultrasound signals between two or more medical devices located on and within a body of a patient.

An electrical panel or an electrical meter may provide improved functionality by interacting with a smart plug. A smart plug may provide a smart-plug power monitoring signal that includes information about power consumption of devices connected to the smart plug. The smart-plug power monitoring signal may be used in conjunction with power monitoring signals from the electrical mains of the building for providing information about the operation of devices in the building. For example, the power monitoring signals may be used to (i) determine the main of the house that provides power to the smart plug, (ii) identify devices receiving power from the smart plug, (iii) improve the accuracy of identifying device state changes, and (iv) train mathematical models for identifying devices and device state changes.

Provided are a server for maintenance, a remote monitoring system, and a remote monitoring method. The server is connected, via a network, to a plurality of working machines each including a working machine display device that displays machine state information and a working machine operating device to be used for predetermined operation, and to a monitoring terminal that includes a display part and remotely monitors information on the working machines. Communication between each of the plurality of working machines and the server is one-way communication from the working machines to the server. The server includes a first storage part, a second storage part, and a display processing part. The display processing part generates a display part simulated image, and causes the display part of the monitoring terminal to display a maintenance screen including the display part simulated image.

A remote control apparatus performs: calculating a path and a moving speed to reach a desired destination from a current position of the control target apparatus; measuring a communication delay time between the remote control apparatus and the control target apparatus; estimating an overshoot region based on the communication delay time, a stored size of the control target apparatus, and the moving speed; predicting whether the control target apparatus will contact with a peripheral object(s), based on the path, the overshoot region, and stored peripheral object information of the control target apparatus; calculating the moving speed information to be given to the control target apparatus so that a moving direction of the control target apparatus changes by a predetermined value or more when predicted that the control target apparatus will contact with a peripheral object(s); and transmitting a control signal including the moving speed information to the control target apparatus.

A smart sensor can include a plurality of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) configured to receive analog signals from a sensor module, and a plurality of channel modules. Each channel module can be connected to a respective ADC and each channel module can include a limited data processing module configured to provide initial processing. The sensor can include a data control module operatively connected to each of the plurality of channel modules and configured to select a selected channel of the plurality of channels to receive initially processed data from the limited data processing module of the selected channel. The data control module can be configured to interface with external memory to store data to the external memory and/or to read data from the external memory. The sensor can include a batch processing module operatively connected to the data control module and configured to receive the initially processed data of the selected channel from the data control module to provide further processing of the initially processed data.
