  • Publication number: 20240191302
    Abstract: The present invention relates to assays for predicting the presence, absence or development of cancer in an individual, particularly endometrial and ovarian cancer, by determining the methylation status of certain CpGs in a population of DNA molecules in a sample which has been taken from the individual, deriving an index value based on the methylation status of the certain CpGs, and predicting the presence, absence or development of cancer in the individual based on the cancer index value. The invention further relates to a method of treating and/or prevention of cancer in an individual, particularly endometrial and ovarian cancer, the method comprising assessing the presence, absence or development of cancer in an individual by performing the assays of the invention, followed by administering one or more therapeutic treatments or measures to the individual based on the assessment.

  • Patent number: 12002171
    Abstract: An augmented reality surgical system includes a head mounted display (HMD) with a see-through display screen, a motion sensor, a camera, and computer equipment. The motion sensor outputs a head motion signal indicating measured movement of the HMD. The computer equipment computes the relative location and orientation of reference markers connected to the HMD and to the patient based on processing a video signal from the camera. The computer equipment generates a three dimensional anatomical model using patient data created by medical imaging equipment, and rotates and scales at least a portion of the three dimensional anatomical model based on the relative location and orientation of the reference markers, and further rotate at least a portion of the three dimensional anatomical model based on the head motion signal to track measured movement of the HMD. The rotated and scaled three dimensional anatomical model is displayed on the display screen.

  • Patent number: 11989355
    Abstract: A pointing controller worn by a user enables intuitive control of various connected smart devices. Users may indicate which device is to be controlled by pointing in the direction of the smart device (or a proxy object) and performing a predefined action to select the device for control. Once selected, the user may interact with the smart device by performing various gestures or interactions with one or more control elements integrated into the pointing controller. The smart device may provide feedback using visual or auditory indicators on the smart device, or by sending a control signal to the pointing controller or other device in proximity to the user that provides haptic, auditory, or visual feedback.

  • Publication number: 20240130603
    Abstract: A dish rack for cleaning reusable plastic dishware can include a bottom support wall, a sidewall defining an outer frame, and a cover positionable over the bottom support wall. In some examples, the dish rack includes spaced-apart prongs extending upwardly from the bottom support wall. In use, an operator can load reusable plastic dishware on or between the prongs of the dish rack and close the cover. This can enclose the reusable plastic in a space bounded between the bottom support wall, the sidewall defining the frame, and the cover. Once loaded, the operator can insert the dishrack into the dishwasher to clean the reusable plastic dishware while retained in the dish rack. The dish rack can allow the reusable plastic dishware to be properly cleaned while minimizing or eliminating problems associated with the comparatively light reusable plastic dishware moving in response to high pressure water within the dishwasher.

  • Publication number: 20240100383
    Abstract: An adjustable carriage assembly is configured to be mounted on a frame member of a weight rack and includes a moveable carriage with a plurality of rollers that engage the frame member, as well as a connection structure for connection of an articulating implement. A releasable pin is mounted on the carriage proximate to a rear of the carriage and has an arm configured for engagement to move the releasable pin. The releasable pin is moveable by axial translation between a locked position and an unlocked position to selectively engage the frame member to lock the carriage in position or permit movement of the carriage. A removable pin may be removably received through a pin hole in the carriage to extend through the passage in a direction perpendicular to a direction of axial translation of the releasable pin, to engage the frame member to prevent movement of the carriage.

  • Publication number: 20240104995
    Abstract: A gaming device includes a processor and a memory storing symbol data, trigger probability data for wager options, and instructions. The symbol data includes reel strips including positions dynamically configurable with trigger symbols associated with feature games, and trigger symbol sets including different versions of the trigger symbols and corresponding to the wager options. The instructions, when executed, cause the processor to receive a selected wager option; configure the reel strips by selecting a trigger symbol from the trigger symbol set corresponding to the selected wager option for the dynamically configurable positions; select symbols from the configured reel strips for display in symbol positions; control display of the selected symbols; and upon the selected symbols including a trigger symbol associated with a feature game, determine whether the feature game is triggered based on the trigger probability data for the selected wager option and an identity of the trigger symbol.
