Publication number: 20240095910Abstract: A plaque detection method and apparatus wherein at least one processor is programmed to receive above focus images to detect the presence of live cells without detecting the lysed cell materials, receive below focus images wherein virtual dark regions exist which are similar to cell shadows as seeds in a segmentation process and use contours around each resulting shape to obtain a subset that are more likely to be part of the cell population to define a cell map. A distance map is created in which each pixel value is the distance of that pixel from the nearest pixel of the cell map and the distance map is thresholded to create a first image of the places which are relatively far from the cells a second image with a smaller distance threshold to get an image that mimics the edges of the cells.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 1, 2022Publication date: March 21, 2024Applicant: Thrive Bioscience, Inc.Inventors: Kenneth CHAPMAN, Frank EVANS

Publication number: 20220054839Abstract: Systems and methods for stimulating a spinal nerve root of an S1 nerve of a patient involve advancing a treatment device lateral to a thecal sac, through a spinal canal, and into and through an S1 foramen of a sacral vertebral body of the patient. A distal portion of an electrode region is disposed anterior to an anterior border of the sacral vertebral body. Electrical stimulation is delivered from the electrode region to a treatment location disposed on a spinal nerve root of an S1 nerve, distal to a dorsal root ganglion of the S1 nerve, distal to a dorsal ramus of the S1 nerve, and adjacent to an entry zone of a gray rami communicans of the S1 nerve. Delivery of electrical stimulation modulates visceral afferent fibers and postganglionic sympathetic neurons at the treatment location. Treatments can be provided to patients presenting with peripheral vascular disease and other conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 18, 2021Publication date: February 24, 2022Inventor: Kenneth Chapman

Publication number: 20210267490Abstract: Various patient monitoring systems can include a sensor configured to collect three dimensional information. The systems can identify a location of a patient support surface based on the three dimensional information. The systems can set a two dimensional planar threshold based on the patient support surface. The systems can identify a patient location above the patient support surface based on the three dimensional information and compare the patient location to the two dimensional planar threshold. Exceeding the threshold can be indicative of a high risk of a patient fall. An alert can be generated based on the threshold being exceeded. The systems can repeat the identification of the patient support surface location and the setting of the threshold to account for changes in the patient area.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 24, 2021Publication date: September 2, 2021Inventors: Matt Clark, Derek del Carpio, Kenneth Chapman

Publication number: 20160260336Abstract: There are provided methods and electronic learning systems for collating course activities from a plurality of courses into a personal learning stream. The method comprises the steps of selecting a primary course activity associated with a primary course within the plurality of courses, selecting a primary learning outcome associated with the primary course activity, identifying other course activities that are associated with courses within the plurality of courses and having a learning outcome similar to the primary learning outcome, and joining the primary course activity and other course activities into an activity stream. A pacing guide may be created from at least one pacing activity associated with the primary learning outcome, and the pacing guide may then be merged with the activity stream. The personal learning stream may be graphically represented on a calendar.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2015Publication date: September 8, 2016Applicant: D2L CorporationInventor: Kenneth Chapman
