Claim Text:
1. A transducer-activation system comprising: a data processing device system; an input-output device system communicatively connected to the data processing device system; and a memory device system communicatively connected to the data processing device system and storing a program executable by the data processing device system, the program comprising: selection instructions configured to cause reception of a selection from the input-output device system of at least some of a plurality of transducers of a transducer-based device, the plurality of transducers arranged in a distribution positionable in a bodily cavity, the at least some of the plurality of transducer including a plurality of pairs of adjacent ones of the transducers in the distribution that includes at least a first pair of adjacent ones of the transducers in the distribution and a second pair of adjacent ones of the transducers in the distribution; and activation instructions configured to cause activation of each of the plurality of pairs of adjacent ones of the transducers in the distribution, wherein the activation instructions include instructions configured to cause the activation of the first pair of adjacent ones of the transducers in the distribution to start after completion of the activation of the second pair of adjacent ones of the transducers in the distribution in response to a circumstance where the first pair and the second pair of adjacent ones of the transducers in the distribution share a same transducer, and wherein the activation instructions include instructions configured to cause at least part of the activation of the first pair of adjacent ones of the transducers in the distribution to occur concurrently with at least part of the activation of the second pair of adjacent ones of the transducers in the distribution in response to a circumstance where the first pair and the second pair of adjacent ones of the transducers in the distribution do not share a same transducer.
