  • Patent number: 11426509
    Abstract: Embodiments of negative pressure wound therapy systems and methods for operating the systems are disclosed. In some embodiments, a system includes a negative pressure source, a wound dressing configured to be positioned over a wound, and optionally a canister configured to store fluid aspirated from the wound. The negative pressure source, wound dressing, and canister (when present) can be fluidically connected to facilitate delivery of negative pressure to the wound. The system can be configured to automatically detect whether the canister is positioned in the fluid flow path between the negative pressure source and the dressing while negative pressure source provides negative pressure to the wound dressing. Operation of the system can be adjusted based on whether presence of the canister has been detected. For example, a value of an operational parameter can be set to indicate that the canister is present.

  • Publication number: 20220196609
    Abstract: An ultrasonic probe assembly includes an ultrasonic probe having a housing, an ultrasonic sensor, at least one magnet, and rotatable joint portions. The housing extends along a longitudinal axis between first and second ends and includes a base surface. The sensor is secured adjacent a housing base surface configured to emit ultrasonic signals and receive ultrasonic echoes reflected from a target. The magnet is secured within the housing and configured to apply a magnetic force urging the base surface into contact with a surface of the target. The magnetic force frictionally maintains the housing at a stationary position with respect to the target surface. A first rotatable joint portion is positioned on a first lateral side of the housing. A second rotatable joint portion is positioned on a second lateral side of the housing, opposite the first lateral side.

  • Publication number: 20220034874
    Abstract: The present invention relates to systems and methods that utilize a combination of immunoassay and magnetic immunoassay techniques to detect an analyte within an extended range of specified concentrations. In particular, a device includes a housing, a heterogeneous surface capture immunosensor within the housing and configured to generate a first signal indicative of the concentration of the analyte in an upper concentration range, and a homogeneous magnetic bead capture immunosensor within the housing and configured to generate a second signal indicative of the concentration of the analyte in a lower concentration range.

  • Publication number: 20220012433
    Abstract: Described herein are systems and methods for neural machine translation (NMT) of languages between network operation systems. The languages may be a query language, such as a XML path, to navigate through elements and attributes in an XML document. An NMT model comprises an encoder and a decoder to implement the machine translation. The encoder encodes a source sentence as a sequence of encoder hidden states. The decoder may incorporate attention mechanism to generate a target sentence, conditioned on the encoder hidden states. The NMT model may also use a modified beam search with variable beam width and search scope for each search step to speed up search process with a balance of accuracy and processing cost. Evaluation results demonstrate that embodiments of the present disclosure may be used in a recommender system for XPath auto-generation between different network operation systems.
