Cardiovascular signal acquisition, fusion, and noise mitigation
A device including an array of electrodes generates one or more electrical signals from a user, extracts one or more noise signals, and generates one or more de-noised electrical signals upon processing the electrical signal(s) with the noise signal(s). The array of electrodes is coupled to a surface of the device, where the device also includes force sensors in mechanical communication with the surface for detecting user weight and other forces. The device can be configured to generate electrical signals from different subportions of the array of electrodes and to extract noise signals from different subportions of the array of electrodes, where the subportion(s) for electrical signal generation may or may not overlap with the subportion(s) of electrodes for noise signal extraction.

Surgical instrument utilizing drive signal to power secondary function
A surgical instrument connectable to a surgical energy module that is configured to provide a first drive signal at a first frequency range for driving a first energy modality and a second drive signal at a second frequency range for driving a second energy modality is provided. The surgical instrument can comprise a surgical instrument component configured to receive power from a direct current (DC) power source, an end effector, and a circuit. The circuit can be configured to convert the first electrical signal to a DC voltage, apply the DC voltage to the surgical instrument component, and deliver the second energy modality to the end effector according to the second drive signal. Alternatively, the circuit can be disposed within a cable assembly configured to connect the surgical instrument to the surgical energy module.
