Publication number: 20240078931Abstract: Modified animal tissues, organs, and organ systems for use in simulated surgical procedures are disclosed. The tissues, organs, and/or organ systems can be modified by enhancing their electrical conductivity, by including simulated contents mimicking what would normally be present in live animals, and by having fake blood perfusing through them. Portions of different tissues, organs, or organ systems, which can be from the same or different animals, can be adhered to provide hybrid/chimeric tissues, organs, or organ systems, and also used for simulated surgical procedures. These modifications can provide surgeons with a more realistic experience during a simulated surgical procedure.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: INTUITIVE SURGICAL OPERATIONS, INC.Inventors: John ALEXANDER, W.

Publication number: 20240078863Abstract: A method of displaying wagers to a user viewing a live sporting event in which the wagers displayed to the user are dependent upon what element in the live sporting event are in the field of view being presented to the user. As the point of view of the user changes, either by user selection or based on the camera angle of the broadcast the user is viewing, the elements of the live sporting event, such as players or the ball, that are in the field of view are identified and the wagers available of those elements are displayed for the user to select.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 27, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: AdrenalineIPInventors: Casey Alexander HUKE, John CRONIN, Joseph W.

Publication number: 20240078874Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of in-play wagering for pooled or contest prizes by points in which users are placed in various cohorts based on skill and then allowed to compete against one another in a contest for a prize that is won by the user with the total amount of points earned during a contest. This method provides grouping the users of a wagering network into cohorts and allowing the users to join a contest based on the cohort to compete for a prize that the user with the most points wins during the length of the contest.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 14, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: AdrenalineIPInventors: Casey Alexander HUKE, John CRONIN, Joseph W.

Publication number: 20240078869Abstract: A method of identifying wagers trends from a user's wagering history in order to alert the user of similar wagers that are available. The user interacts with a betting platform which displays all of the live plays available to be wagered upon, and the odds of those wagers. The user's interaction with the application may be recorded, along with their wagering data and a plurality of play characteristics. As the betting platform receives a new live play available to be wagered on, it may compare the characteristics of the new play to the user's history and may notify the user of the new play if it is highly correlated with their past wagering interactions with the platform.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: March 7, 2024Applicant: AdrenalineIPInventors: Casey Alexander HUKE, John CRONIN, Michael D'ANDREA, Joseph BODKIN

Publication number: 20240071233Abstract: Systems and methods of a monitoring node to assist an air navigation service provider (ANSP) in the design of an airspace. The monitoring node collects flight data and performs flight simulations for a large geographic region that is outside of the airspace. The monitoring node receives flight data collected by the ANSP for the airspace. The monitoring node supplements their flight data with the data received from the ANSP and performs flight simulations and generates flight plans for the airspace. The flight simulations and flight plans are transmitted to the ANSP which are then used by the ANSP to design the airspace.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 26, 2022Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Serguei R.

Publication number: 20240069952Abstract: A plurality of different virtualization system images are configured for deployment to a plurality of nodes in heterogeneous environments. Individual ones of the virtualization system images are configured such that once deployed, the nodes form a computer cluster having a storage pool that is shared across the nodes. When configuring the virtualization system images, information that describes the heterogeneous computing environments is accessed, and constraints pertaining the heterogeneous computing environments are reconciled in advance of configuring the different virtualization system images. A common subnet across the heterogeneous environments is established. The plurality of different virtualization system images are configured to access the common subnet once deployed. The common subnet serves as a storage I/O communication path over which a cluster-wide storage pool is implemented.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Nutanix, Inc.Inventors: Joshua John BERRY, Mohan MATURI, Shlomo Shlomi VAKNIN, Aman NIJHAWAN, Anil Kumar KUSHWAH, Avi BHANDARI, Jan Ralf Alexander OLDERDISSEN

Publication number: 20240071257Abstract: A surgeon training apparatus includes a cassette, which includes biological tissue repurposed into a form consistent with the anatomical configuration of abdominal hernias, affixed into an anatomically correct silicon framework which replicates the abdominal anatomy. The framework positions the cassette in an anatomically correct position within the abdominal cavity, enabling surgeons to train using a properly positioned representation of the target anatomy, thus requiring the surgeon to properly use surgical tools to correct the pathologic condition caused by the hernia. The cassette is formed by applying biologic tissue to a specially designed “plate,” which affixes the tissue block into the anatomic framework, and is adapted for connection to a grounding device so the surgeon can use cautery during the simulated hernia repair.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: JOHN ALEXANDER, W. ANDREW GRUBBS, KAITY YU EMERSON, MORGAN DOMINICE MOORE, MEGAN HARRISION DEW, SAMUEL DAVID DREW

Publication number: 20240056515Abstract: A method transmits a response message in response to an incoming message. A header portion of the incoming message is identical to a header portion of the response message. A payload of the incoming message is different from a payload of the response message. The method splits an incoming physical signal representing the incoming message into a first and a second copy. The first copy is provided to a transmitter system. Further, the method generates a signal and, based on determining that a message is received from at least part of the second copy, provides the generated signal to the transmitter system so that the generated signal is transmitted after at least part of the first copy's header part has been transmitted. The transmitted at least part of the first copy's header part and the transmitted generated signal together form a transmitted response signal representing the response message.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 29, 2022Publication date: February 15, 2024Inventors: Dennis Fleurbaaij, Andrew John Alexander McCaffrey

Publication number: 20240000448Abstract: A first end of a wire is transluminally penetrated through tissue at a first cardiovascular site of a subject. A capture device is transluminally advanced into the subject, and is used to capture the first end of the wire and pull the first end of the wire away from the first cardiovascular site. From the first end of the wire, a first anchor is tracked along the wire, and is then anchored to the tissue at the first cardiovascular site. A second anchor is anchored to tissue at a second cardiovascular site. Subsequently, the first and second cardiovascular sites are drawn together by applying tension between the first and second anchors. Other embodiments are also described.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 17, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Adam Groothuis, Steven D. Cahalane, Richard J. Morrill, John Alexander
