  • Patent number: 10937175
    Abstract: The method for assisting a person in operating in a dynamic environment may form part of a mobility assistance system. The method comprises a step of acquiring sensor data comprising a time sequence of at least two consecutive images of the dynamic environment from at least one sensor, for example a camera. Optical flows are calculated based on the at least two consecutive images. Feature scores associated to spatial positions for selected regions in an image space are determined in order to generate a feature score field. An output signal including directional stimulus information is generated based on the generated feature score field, wherein the directional stimulus information comprises information on relative spatial relations between the selected regions. The generated output signal is provided to at least one actuator, which signals the directional stimulus information to the person.

  • Patent number: 10934326
    Abstract: A C-terminus modification to a binding pocket-modified vancomycin introduces a quaternary ammonium salt that provides a binding pocket-modified vancomycin analog with a second mechanism of action that is independent of D-Ala-D-Ala/D-Ala-D-Lac binding. The modification disrupts cell wall integrity and induces cell wall permeability complementary to the glycopeptide inhibition of cell wall synthesis, and provides synergistic improvements in antimicrobial potency (200-fold) against vancomycin-resistant bacteria. Combining the C-terminus and binding pocket modifications with an orthogonal (4-chlorobiphenyl) methyl addition to the vancomycin disaccharide provides even more potent antimicrobial agents whose activity can be attributed to three independent and synergistic mechanisms of action, only one of which requires D-Ala-D-Ala/D-Ala-D-Lac binding.
