    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for cleanable and sterilizable electrical connector for medical devices. A sterilizable connector may include a first shell and a second shell configured to engage one another, a nose housing that includes a mating area of the connector for engaging a corresponding mating area in a component of a medical device, and an overmolding that overmolds a combination of the first shell, the second shell, and the nose housing. Each of the first shell, the second shell, and the nose housing includes a first material that is compatible with cleaning and sterilization (C&S) treatment. The overmolding includes a second material that provides sealing of the combination of the first shell, the second shell, and the nose housing during the cleaning and sterilization (C&S) treatment. The connector is configured to enable applying at least sterilization without requiring closing or covering of the mating area of the connector.

    Abstract: Various methods and systems are provided for a multi-frequency transducer array. In one example, ground recovery in the transducer array is enabled by configuring an acoustic stack of the transducer array with an interdigitated structure, a top layer coupled to a front side of the interdigitated structure, and a bottom layer coupled to a back side of the interdigitated structure, where the top layer and the bottom is electrically continuous with the interdigitated structure.
