A tissue marking system includes a tissue marking beacon and a near-infrared (NIR) camera configured to detect emission of pulsatile NIR light from the tissue marking beacon. The tissue marking beacon is suitable for being injected into a tumor to mark a position and depth of the tumor for treatment. NIR light is emitted from a light-emitting diode (LED) positioned on the tissue marking beacon and is detected by the NIR camera. A pulsatile emission of NIR light from the LED is controlled to by synchronized with a data capture rate and/or detector exposure (shutter) of the NIR camera.

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods of collecting environmental and/or biometric information and/or data using a chronic monitoring apparatus that includes a wearable expandable support structure to wirelessly receive power via a wireless power transfer antenna disposed in, on, or about the wearable expandable support structure. The chronic monitoring apparatus includes power receiver circuitry, data transmission circuitry, sensor circuitry, and control circuitry. The wearable expandable support structure maintains close contact between at least a portion of the sensor circuitry and the wearer of the chronic monitoring apparatus without requiring the use of adhesives or other bonding agents. The chronic monitoring apparatus communicates the collected environmental and/or biometric information to external data collection circuitry. The components included in the chronic monitoring apparatus are sealed within the wearable expandable support structure providing a rugged, reliable, resilient and waterproof system that is biocompatible, non-irritating and does not require the use of adhesives.

The technology is generally directed towards wireless power charging of one or more receiver devices within a container that is electromagnetically shielded with respect to the frequency or frequencies used for the wireless charging. A controller determines, via signaling from one or more sensors, that the container is in the electromagnetically shielded state with respect to emitting external radiation at the charging frequency or frequencies. When electromagnetically shielded, the controller controls the output power state of a wireless power transmitter device to charge the one or more receiver devices. The controller can determine when to stop the charging of a receiver device, such as when sufficiently charged. The controller and wireless power transmitter device can charge the one or more receiver devices selectively, e.g., based on which one needs more charge or other criterion. The controller can obtain and externally communicate the state of charge of the receiver device(s).

The disclosure is the only product of its kind that utilizes a Bluetooth connectivity to generate and transfer power from power outlets into other devices to support their performance. The disclosure is uniquely designed in two different sizes, one to activate TV's or gaming consoles and a slightly larger pod for larger electronic gadgets. Both charging pods utilize an advanced power aggregation technology and are highly portable and simple to use to guarantee practicality and versatility. A wireless transceiver housed in the wall plug or pod transmits an electrical power across a carrier frequency and a frequency converter housed in the wall plug and configured to convert the carrier frequency to a predetermined AC (alternating current) frequency at a predetermined AC voltage, Multiple electrical milliwatt power sources as disclosed each wirelessly transmit to a receiver for an aggregated wattage power reception.

A stent for intravascular stimulation comprises a scaffold comprising first and second scaffold structures, each scaffold structure comprising at least one substantially annular portion. The stent further comprises one or more anodal electrodes formed from or electrically coupled to at least a substantially annular portion of the first scaffold structure and one or more cathodal electrodes electrically formed from or coupled to at least a substantially annular portion of the second scaffold structure. The stent further comprises an anodal lead electrically coupled to the first scaffold structure to form a conductive path from the one or more anodal electrodes to a generator and a cathodal lead electrically coupled to the second scaffold structure to form a conductive path from the one or more cathodal electrodes to the generator. The stent further comprises a sleeve of insulating material, wherein the scaffold structures are attached to or formed on the sleeve of insulating material and are separated from each other by a distance such that the first and second scaffold structures are electrically insulated from each other.
