Patent number: 11920158Abstract: A cardiomyocyte maturation medium comprises a base medium, one or more fatty acids such as palmitic acid, glucose and albumin. The one or more fatty acids and glucose are ideally present at a concentration ratio of about 1:10. Typically, the medium does not comprise TGF or insulin, or comprises minimal TGF and/or insulin. A cell culture vessel is provided that comprises opposed poles that facilitate force measurements of developing cardiac muscle.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2017Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: THE COUNCIL OF THE QUEENSLAND INSTITUTE OF MEDICAL RESEARCHInventors: Enzo Porrello, James Hudson, Drew Titmarsh, Richard Mills

Patent number: 11893365Abstract: Techniques for generating application interfaces based on semantic-level data are described herein. Application developers may semantically define an application flow. Based on the definition, a system may identify a template of a multipage navigable interface that is compatible with the flow. If multiple templates are compatible, then a template may be recommended or automatically selected based on the semantic information provided by the developer. The system may generate, based on the template and the semantic definition, a multipage navigable interface. The template may encapsulate some design and functional elements in a manner that is independent of the semantic definition.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2021Date of Patent: February 6, 2024Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Rozita Naghshin, Lynn Munsinger, Kathleen Maguire Candland, Hillel Noah Cooperman, Mohammed Amirali Samji, Blake Thomas Sullivan, Duncan Richard Mills

Patent number: 11797273Abstract: Techniques for component-based software engineering, and more particularly, to techniques for enhancing component based development systems by making components self-aware with respect to the applications that they may be consumed in or other peer components within the applications. An exemplary technique includes determining an addition of one or more components to an interface of an application; identifying an asset definition within metadata of a component of the one or more components added to the interface of the application, where the asset definition provides self-wiring or self-configuring instructions for an asset that needs to be created for the component within a predefined scope when the component is added to the interface; and creating the asset for the component based on the asset definition.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2021Date of Patent: October 24, 2023Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Duncan Richard Mills, Ond{hacek over (r)}ej Vrabec, Antonín Nebu{hacek over (z)}elský

Patent number: 11176858Abstract: There is provided an integrity monitor for a display system, the display system comprising an image source and a display. The integrity monitor comprises a controller configured to analyse sensed characteristics at one or more predetermined positions in an image area of the display system and to relate the sensed characteristics to predetermined characteristics of a stimulus, when injected into the system, thereby to determine the presence of a fault in the system. The sensed characteristics may be sensed optically or non-optically. The stimulus may be optical or non-optical.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 2018Date of Patent: November 16, 2021Assignee: BAE SYSTEMS plcInventors: Colin Richard Mills, Ian Thomas Macken

Patent number: 11157270Abstract: Techniques are provided for encapsulating a user experience design for user interfaces of an application, where the user experience design comprises a look and feel of the application and a plurality of functional elements of the application. A plurality of rules for implementing the one or more user interfaces may be defined, and the rules may be based at least in part on the user experience design. Additionally, a pattern may be generated based at least in part on the plurality of rules. The pattern may be deployed to a distributed network of computing devices, and reused in the design of multiple other applications. The new user interfaces for those applications may be generated based at least in part on the pattern, where the additional applications comply with the look and feel and the plurality of functional elements of the other applications that share the pattern.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: October 26, 2021Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventors: Duncan Richard Mills, Kenichi Mizuta

Patent number: 10853059Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for managing and tracking process pipelines and other flows in a way that reduces the requirement for a central controlling process to manage every step of the associated pipeline flow and the state associated with each running instance. Job information and pipeline state are tracked by each worker involved in the pipeline. This enables some key capabilities within these process pipelines such as dynamic process re-writing and cross security domain job execution.Type: GrantFiled: August 27, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Oracle International CorporationInventor: Duncan Richard Mills
