  • Patent number: 11788625
    Abstract: A hole seal is provided that can include a plate having a surface configured to face away from an enclosure wall of an enclosure, and a peripheral extension that is angled away from the surface. The hole seal can include a stud coupled to and extending away from the plate, a gasket, a retaining member configured to engage an enclosure wall of an enclosure opposite the gasket, and a fastener. The fastener is configured to threadingly engage the stud and be advanced along the stud to urge the retaining member against the enclosure wall, thereby urging a peripheral extension of the plate into the gasket, via compression of the gasket against an exterior surface of the enclosure wall.

  • Patent number: 11711911
    Abstract: A thermal management system for an enclosure containing electrical components includes a cooling unit for controlling temperature inside the enclosure and a controller for the cooling unit, the controller being configured so that it can receive a three-phase power input signal and distribute power and control connected components using the three-phase signal. The controller can protect the compressor in critical scenarios such as thermal overload and overcurrent. The controller can output various faults such as missing phase alarm, imbalance phase alarm, overcurrent alarm, thermal overload alarm, door open alarm, and temperature and pressure alarms. An auto phase sequence correction controls the phase relay, accepting 3 phase 480 VAC power input from facility power terminal, supplying 3 phase power to the compressor and motor impellers, 12V DC power to a display unit, and 24V DC power to a remote access control module.

  • Publication number: 20230206438
    Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to multi-arm machine learning models for lesion detection. Particularly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to accessing a three-dimensional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. Each of the three-dimensional MRI images depict a same volume of a brain of a subject. The volume of the brain includes at least part of one or more lesions. Each three-dimensional MRI image of the three-dimensional MRI images is processed using one or more corresponding encoder arms of a machine-learning model to generate an encoding of the three-dimensional MRI image. The encodings of the three-dimensional MRI images are concatenated to generate a concatenated representation. The concatenated representation is processed using a decoder arm of the machine-learning model to generate a prediction that identifies one or more portions of the volume of the brain predicted to depict at least part of a lesion.

  • Patent number: 11638756
    Abstract: Methods are provided for the adjuvant treatment of operable HER2-positive primary breast cancer in human patients by administration of pertuzumab in addition to chemotherapy and trastuzumab. The methods reduce the risk of recurrence of invasive breast cancer or death for a patient diagnosed with HER2-positive early breast cancer (eBC) compared to administration of trastuzumab and chemotherapy, without pertuzumab.

  • Patent number: 11521301
    Abstract: The method includes generating, for each of a plurality of original images, a first artificially degraded image by applying a first image-artifact-generation logic on each of the original images; and generating the program logic by training an untrained version of a first machine-learning logic that encodes a first artifacts-removal logic on the original images and their respectively generated first degraded images; and returning the trained first machine-learning logic as the program logic or as a component thereof. The first image-artifact-generation logic is A) an image-acquisition-system-specific image-artifact-generation logic or B) a tissue-staining-artifact-generation logic.

  • Patent number: 11482320
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of identifying a biomarker in a tissue sample. The method comprises receiving an acquired image depicting a tissue sample, the pixel intensity values of the acquired image correlating with an autofluorescence signal or of an X-ray induced signal or a signal of a non-biomarker specific stain or a signal of a first biomarker specific stain adapted to selectively stain a first biomarker. The acquired image is input into a trained machine learning logic—MLL which automatically transforms the acquired image into an output image highlighting tissue regions predicted to comprise a second biomarker.
