Abstract: This disclosure describes a system, method, and non-transitory computer readable media for an ultrasound probe configured to capture ultrasound images of an examination region. The system includes a first set of one or more sensors coupled to the ultrasound probe and configured to estimate a first positional information associated with the ultrasound probe. The system includes a second set of one or more sensors coupled to the ultrasound probe and configured to capture electromagnetic force (EMF) measurements in the examination region to estimate a second positional information associated with the ultrasound probe. The second positional information is used to calibrate the first set of one or more sensors. The system includes a controller configured to use at least one of (i) the first positional information, or (ii) the second positional information to generate a reconstruction of the examination region based on ultrasound images captured by the ultrasound probe.

Abstract: A power generation system includes: a frame; a plurality of units supported by the frame and configured to convert fluid-induced mechanical energy to electrical energy; a member that is moveable relative to the frame; an actuator operable to move the member; and a controller communicably coupled to the actuator and configured to perform operations comprising: receiving, by the controller, flow data indicating a characteristic of fluid flow over the plurality of units; receiving, by the controller, power data indicating a parameter of electrical power output by the plurality of units; and based on the flow data and the power data, transmitting a control signal to the actuator to cause the actuator to move the member relative to the frame. A first unit of the plurality of units comprises: a first element; and a second element, wherein relative motion between the first element and the second element generates electrical energy.
