    Abstract: In one embodiment, the system of these teachings includes a master robot/haptic device providing haptic feedback to and receiving position commands from an operator, a robot controller receiving position information and providing force information to the master robot/haptic device, a navigation component receiving images from an MRI scanner, the navigation component providing trajectory planning information to the robot controller, a slave robot driving a needle, the slave robot receiving control information from the robot controller, and a fiberoptic sensor operatively connected to the slave robot; the fiberoptic sensor providing data to the robot controller; the data being utilized by the robot controller to provide force information to the master robot/haptic device. In one instance, the present teachings include a fiberoptic force sensor and an apparatus for integrating the fiberoptic sensor into a teleoperated MRI-compatible surgical system. Methods for use are also disclosed.

    Abstract: Ultrasound imaging systems and methods are described that include a cableless front end having a UltraWideBand transceiver and a beamformer that transmit ultrasound data to a back end physically separated from the front end, with the back end having a UltraWideBand transceiver for receiving ultrasound data from the front end UltraWideBand transceiver via a peer-to-peer communication protocol. The back end unit can also receive and transmit commands to and from the front end unit to select an image mode and has a signal processor and scan converter that can convert ultrasound data into image data for display. An input device in the front end allows the operator to selectively display ultrasound data or patient data on an auxiliary worn display or the nearest local display.

    Abstract: The present invention is based on the discovery of a two organism model system that can be used to identify virulence factors. The system is also useful in the process of drug delivery. More specifically, we have established valid fungal infection in caenorhabditis elegans with an invading pathogen, the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae . Because both species are genetic model organisms, the assay can be used to identify host and virulence factors involved in such interactions.
