  • Patent number: 11792443
    Abstract: In a method and system for viewer interaction with streaming media, a scene from a media presentation is displayed with a broadcasting device that includes an operating system level broadcaster interface overlay. The overlay generates an image frame from the scene of the media presentation. The image frame is sent to a viewer device. Viewer interaction parameters are received from a viewing device and a viewer interaction is displayed over a subsequent scene of the media presentation with the broadcaster interface overlay. On a viewing device an image frame of the media presentation is received from the broadcasting device. An operating system level viewer interface overlay is generated over the image frame and the image frame of the media presentation is displayed. Viewer interaction parameters are generated from a viewer interaction with the operating system level viewer interface overlay and sent to the broadcasting device.

  • Publication number: 20230270922
    Abstract: A dialysis machine (e.g., a peritoneal dialysis (PD) machine) can include a pressure sensor mounted at a proximal end of a patient line made of a distensible material that provides PD solution to a patient through a catheter. During treatment, an occlusion can occur at different locations in the patient line and/or the catheter. When an incremental volume of additional solution is provided to the patient line while the occlusion is present, a change in pressure results. The change in pressure depends on the dimensions and the distensibility of the non-occluded portion of the patient line. If the change in pressure, the incremental volume, the properties related to the distensibility of the patient line, and some of the dimensions of the patient line are known, the location of the occlusion can be inferred. The occlusion type can be inferred based on the determined location.

  • Patent number: 11734915
    Abstract: Provided herein are systems and methods for automated identification of volumes of interest in volumetric brain images using artificial intelligence (AI) enhanced imaging to diagnose and treat acute stroke. The methods can include receiving image data of a brain having header data and voxel values that represent an interruption in blood supply of the brain when imaged, extracting the header data from the image data, populating an array of cells with the voxel values, applying a segmenting analysis to the array to generate a segmented array, applying a morphological neighborhood analysis to the segmented array to generate a features relationship array, where the features relationship array includes features of interest in the brain indicative of stroke, identifying three-dimensional (3D) connected volumes of interest in the features relationship array, and generating output, for display at a user device, indicating the identified 3D volumes of interest.

  • Publication number: 20230240619
    Abstract: A piece of medical information, e.g., a medical image of tissue, may be received for processing and analysis on a computing device or system. A region of the medical image may be analyzed to determine a presence of one or more contours in the region. One or more properties of the one or more contours may be extracted, where the one or more properties are inputted into a first algorithm to determine an indication of cancer for the region. The indication of cancer may be inputted into a second algorithm to generate a cancer score for the region.

  • Patent number: 11713685
    Abstract: A tip shroud includes a pair of opposed, axially extending wings configured to couple to an airfoil at a radially outer end thereof. The tip shroud also includes a tip rail extending radially from the pair of opposed, axially extending wings. Tip shroud surface profiles may be of the downstream and/or upstream side of the tip rail, a leading Z-notch of the tip shroud, and/or downstream radially inner surface of a wing. The surface profiles may have a nominal profile substantially in accordance with at least part of Cartesian coordinate values of X and Y, and perhaps Z and a thickness, set forth in a respective table. The radially inner surface of the wing may define a protrusion extending along the radially outer end of the airfoil, the suction side fillet, and a radial inner surface of the wing to an axial edge of the wing.
