  • Patent number: 11985959
    Abstract: An aquaculture pen includes an annular floatation assembly formed from a plurality of float platforms connected end to end. A weight ring is suspended from the floatation assembly by a first plurality of tension members at a central portion of the float platforms. A net support ring is suspended from the floatation assembly by a second plurality of tension members that are attached to the floatation assembly, for example, outboard of the first plurality of tension members. A mesh enclosure for the pen includes a main portion attached to the net support ring, a jump net portion that extends from the net support ring to engage the inboard side of the floatation assembly, and a top portion that closes an upper end of the mesh enclosure.

  • Publication number: 20240160396
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are generally directed to a head-mounted base system that allows a user to remove a display portion from a base portion thereof. According to some examples, the user captures video data via a head-mounted display (HMD) or other head mounted computing device. This head mounted computing device comprises a wearable system which allows the user to perform tasks and capture video data by the HMD simultaneously. It is desired that the user or technician be able to view video data provided to the HMD hands-free. The user may be able to attach an auxiliary display system which self-aligns with the head-mounted base system. When the auxiliary display system attaches to the head-mounted base system, a wireless connection capable of transmitting video is established allowing the user to attach and remove the auxiliary display system easily and without disrupting a video recording device.

  • Publication number: 20240163506
    Abstract: Embodiments can cause a media capturing device and a carrier device to establish a communication session there between so that the media capturing device can receive hotspot credentials and connect to a hotspot of the carrier device for Internet connectivity. The media capturing device can then connect to a remote streaming server via the hotspot, causing the creation of a media stream associated with a unique identifier of the media capturing device at a streaming server. The streaming server can return a URL associated with the media stream of the media capturing device to the carrier device, so that the carrier device can access, view, control, or share the media stream with other computing devices.

  • Patent number: 11961004
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for predicted brain data of a patient. One of the methods includes receiving montage configuration data for a specified montage; receiving raw EEG data captured using the specified montage from a brain of a particular subject; generating, using the montage configuration data and the raw EEG data, EEG connectivity data for the specified montage; using a generative neural network to map the EEG connectivity data to predicted fMRI connectivity data, the generative neural network having been trained using training EEG-fMRI connectivity data pairs, each pair comprising EEG connectivity data of a subject and fMRI connectivity data of the same subject; and taking an action based on the predicted fMRI connectivity data.

  • Patent number: 11944540
    Abstract: Described herein are devices and methods for mitral valve repair. The devices and methods implant a plurality of distal anchors at an annulus of the mitral valve (e.g., the posterior annulus) and tension artificial chordae to pull the portion of the annulus toward an opposite edge and inward into the ventricle. This can effectively reduce the size of the orifice and increase coaptation. The delivery devices can be configured to be actuated to form a distal anchor made of a pre-formed knot. The delivery devices deliver the pre-formed knot in an elongate configuration. Actuation of the delivery device causes the pre-formed knot to transition from the elongate configuration to the deployed configuration by approximating opposite ends of a suture coupled to a coiled configuration to form one or more loops. After formation of the knot, the delivery device can be withdrawn.

  • Publication number: 20230394706
    Abstract: Performance metrics for an imaging system are assessed in the field, without the need for carefully-controlled conditions, such as lighting. In some embodiments, a hand-held test target is used to measure MTF, and to identify any undesired noise-reduction operation applied by an image signal processor. A metric-based heuristic enables prediction of whether an imaging system will be suitable to detect and decode a digital watermark signal of a particular resolution. A variety of other features and arrangements are also detailed.
