A modular radio frequency (RF) device includes N base units, each including a differential segmented array (DSA) tile with a support board and a two-dimensional (2D) array of electrically conductive tapered projections disposed on the support board. Neighboring pairs of the electrically conductive tapered projections form RF pixels. The N DSA tiles are arranged to form an RF aperture. The N base units are programmed to switch the RF aperture between a first operating mode and a second operating mode. In the first operating mode, the N base units are operated as at least two independent subsets with each subset operating as an RF transmitter or receiver independently of the other subsets. In the second operating mode all N base units coherently combine as a single phased array RF transmitter or receiver.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETERMINING PATIENT CONDITION
Systems and methods for non-contact respiration rate detection are disclosed. In some, an infrared sensor captures video images around the mouth and nose regions of a subject. The images are fed into a facial recognition module to identify and isolate these regions. An optical flow module stabilizes the images, and a frequency analysis module analyzes thermal intensity data within specific respiratory frequency ranges. Thermal intensity fluctuations are indicative of the respiration rate. In others, a video camera captures video images. A pose detection module identifies the chest area, and an optical flow algorithm tracks movement of the chest. A signal processing module is included to amplify and filter the respiratory movements, which are indicative of the respiration rate. The video images may be captured by drones.

A system for combined electromyography (EMG) measurements and stimulation of a target anatomy includes a garment with electrodes. An analog cable connects with the electrodes of the garment. A stimulator inputs electrical energy to the analog cable to deliver transcutaneous electrical stimulation. Stimulator isolation circuitry switches between connecting the stimulator with the analog cable and electrically disconnecting the stimulator from the analog cable. EMG circuitry receives analog EMG signals from the analog cable and forms digitized EMG data. EMG isolation circuitry switches between electrically connecting the EMG circuitry with the analog cable and electrically disconnecting the EMG circuitry from the analog cable. Control circuitry cyclically switches between stimulation and EMG time intervals. Clamping transistors connect between the EMG isolation circuitry and the EMG circuitry and cyclically switch between clamped time intervals in which the clamping transistors connect the clamped circuit nodes to a clamp voltage, and unclamped time intervals.
