Publication number: 20240134454Abstract: Provided is a system for controlling digital cinematic content based on emotional state of characters. A focus on one or more computer-controlled characters appearing in digital cinematic content is determined based on emotion indicators of a first user actively interacting with at least the one or more computer-controlled characters. A set of emotion indicators is inferred for each of the one or more computer-controlled characters based on one or more criteria and multifactor feedback loops are created. A story line of the digital cinematic content and behavioural characteristics of the one or more computer-controlled characters are controlled to achieve a target emotional arc of the first user based on the multifactor feedback loops.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 1, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Arvel CHAPPELL, III, Michael ZINK, Ha NGUYEN, Clayton MOSHER, Andrew VEEDER, Michael MARTINEZ, Shanshan SUN, Gary LAKE-SCHAAL

Patent number: 10258607Abstract: A method of treating cancer or inhibiting metastasis in a subject by increasing intratumoral extracellular pH is presented. The method includes administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of a buffer having a pKa greater than 6.1. In an advantageous embodiment the pKa of the buffer is about 7.0. Examples of buffers for increasing extracellular pH include NaHCO3, 2-imidazole-1-yl-3-ethoxycarbonylpropionic acid (IEPA), cholamine chloride, N,N-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (BES), N-Tris(hydroxymethyl)methyl-2-aminoethanesulfonic acid (TES) and 4-(2-Hydroxyethyl)piperazine-1-ethanesulfonic acid (HEPES). The method can further include the step of pretreating with one or more chemotherapeutic agents.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2012Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, Inc.Inventors: Robert J. Gillies, David L. Morse, Ariosto Siqueira Silva, Arig A. Ibrahim Hashim, Robert A. Gatenby, Gary Martinez

Patent number: 10171734Abstract: An imaging system that includes a rotating unit that includes an imaging camera, an alignment camera and at least a first monitor. The rotating unit is rotatable between a home position and a finish position about a rotation axis such that the imaging camera can capture a first scan. The alignment camera is directed generally downwardly and is configured to capture a first alignment image of a subject positioned generally co-axially with the rotation axis. The first alignment image is displayed on the first monitor.Type: GrantFiled: August 8, 2016Date of Patent: January 1, 2019Assignee: OVIO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Gregory Paul Mueller, Ted Gagliano, Glenn D. Derry, Gary Martinez, Steve Hai Jiang, Mitchell Loveall
