Disclosed herein are systems and methods for real-time monitoring of patient position and/or location during a radiation treatment session. Images acquired of a patient during a treatment session can be used to calculate the patient's position and/or location with respect to the components of the radiation therapy system. One variation of a radiation therapy system includes a circular gantry with a rotatable ring coupled to a stationary frame, a therapeutic radiation source mounted on the rotatable ring, and a patient-monitoring imaging system mounted on the rotatable ring. The patient-monitoring system may have one or more image sensors or cameras disposed on the rotatable ring within a bore region of the radiation therapy system, and may be configured to acquire image data as the ring rotates.

Sheath-run artificial muscles (or SRAMs) are described in which the dimensional changes and/or modulus changes of a sheath on the surface of a twisted or coiled host yarn or fiber drives torsional and tensile actuation. The sheath-core artificial muscle includes a sheath on a coiled core yarn or fiber that has inserted twist, in which the sheath does not include a yam, the coiled core yarn or fiber includes a core yarn or fiber, the sheath can change volume, modulus, or a combination thereof when actuated by an influence source to drive actuation, and the influence source is selected from a group consisting of absorption processes, desorption processes, changes in temperature, changes in external pressure, changes in a magnetic field, changes in an electric field, exposures to actinic radiation, electrochemical charge and discharge, chemical reactions, and combinations thereof. These sheath-run muscles can be used for diverse applications, such as robots, robotic devices, energy harvesters, muscles that enable electrical energy harvesting, comfort-adjusting textiles, comfort-adjusting clothing, bio-powered intelligent muscles that control the release of drugs, muscles for appropriate drug delivery, intelligent muscles that sense their environment and actuate in response, muscles for artificial limbs and orthotic gloves, muscles for haptic applications, muscles that can perform in extreme environments, and muscles for intelligent solar panel positioning.

A system and method for detecting space debris which is based on measurements of broadband non-thermal radiation and/or light emitted by either sparks or the expansion of the plasma-fragments cloud generated during high-speed collisions of solid materials. The method is based on the concept that broadband nonthermal radiation and/or light can be used to detect the formation of new debris and for tracking debris clouds. The emission of broadband nonthermal radiation and/or light is based on theoretical and observational evidence that the collision of particles of solid materials with each other transfer enough charge to create electric fields large enough to produce small electric discharges or sparks and that the expansion of the plasma-fragments cloud generated by collisions at orbital velocities produce thermal and non-thermal electromagnetic signals.

The present invention provides: a thin film solar cell which is capable of repairing damage caused by radiation; and a method for manufacturing a thin film solar cell. A p-type light absorption layer (103) of this thin film solar cell (100) has a first region (R1) and a second region (R2), which are obtained by dividing the p-type light absorption layer (103) into two equal parts. The p-type light absorption layer (103) contains Cu as a group I element, and contains Ga and In as group III elements. The average value of the ratio C1 between the number of atoms of Cu and the number of atoms of the group III elements in the first region (R1) is lower than the average value of the ratio C1 in the second region (R2). The average value of the ratio G1 between the number of atoms of Ga and the number of atoms of the group III element in the first region (R1) is lower than the average value of the ratio G1 in the second region (R2), and the average value of the ratio G1 in the p-type light absorption layer (103) is 0.2 to 0.4 inclusive. The absolute value of the rate of change of the ratio G1 from the first electrode layer (102) side to the second electrode layer (105) side becomes the largest in the first region (R1), and the ratio G1 in the p-type light absorption layer (103) is on a downward trend from the first electrode layer (102) side to the second electrode layer (105) side in the first region (R1).

A time-series signal prediction device according to an embodiment has a time-series signal acquisition unit, a block conversion unit, a feature vector acquisition unit, and a feature vector conversion unit. The time-series signal acquisition unit acquires a time-series signal relating to biological information of a patient. The block conversion unit divides the time-series signal into partial signals at predetermined intervals and converts the same into time-series block signals shorter than the time-series of the time-series signal. From the block signals, the feature vector acquisition unit outputs a feature vector representing a time-series signal for a time in the future from when the time-series signal was acquired. The feature vector conversion unit converts the feature vector into a prediction signal relating to biological information of the patient.
