  • Wireless power for pessary device
    Patent number: 12011602
    Abstract: A pessary for the prevention of preterm birth, and in particular two pathological conditions of pregnancy known as isthmico-cervical incontinence and cervical shortening, both of which are associated with increased risks for pregnancy loss and/or premature deliveries of babies. The pessary includes a sleeve supported within a ring by an annular member. The sleeve is intended to contact the cervix and maximize the length of the cervix while the annular member and ring contact the vagina. The pessary may be fabricated from a pliable medical-grade silicon, and the pessary may include one or more sensors to measure various patient parameters indicative of a premature cervical contraction. The sleeve may be wirelessly powered from a charging device, such as a pillow, a table-top device, or a pelvic belt.

  • Pressure loss mitigation and durable valve
    Patent number: 12013047
    Abstract: A valve comprises: a housing defining a chamber; a fluid outlet defined by a fluid outlet wall; and a first fluid outlet orifice and a second fluid outlet orifice comprising a rigid seat. The valve comprises a movable gate, that is flexible and/or compressible and impermeable. The moveable gate is more flexible than the rigid seat, has a planar surface, and is configured to slidably move in a first axis. The movable gate is configured to be positioned so that it is located between a fluid inlet orifice and the second fluid outlet orifice when the valve is in a closed position, wherein fluid pressure within the chamber causes the movable gate to seal the second fluid outlet orifice via the rigid seat, and not the fluid inlet orifice. The valve may employ gate shapes that generate and/or exploit Bernoulli effect forces when fluid passes though the valve.

  • Methods and systems for improved content encoding
    Patent number: 12015783
    Abstract: Methods and systems for improved content encoding are described herein. An encoder may allocate a time budget for encoding each frame of a content item. When the encoder takes longer than the allocated time budget to encode at least a portion of a given frame(s) of the content item at a first resolution, the encoder may take a number of actions in order to allow the encoder to “catch up,” such as encoding frames at a second resolution. Once the encoder catches up and the allocated time budget is not being exceeded, the encoder may resume encoding frames of the content item at the first resolution.

  • Crawler of web automation scripts
    Patent number: 12014192
    Abstract: For a given input query specifying a task to be performed on a website, the correct sequence of actions (or UI script) is machine learned without having any previous knowledge about the website or the query. To learn the correct UI script, a task agent is created that performs multiple task agent runs comprising different sequences of actions of UI elements on the website (e.g., buttons, text fields, menus, and the like). The states of the webpages are monitored after each action of a UI element is performed. Tasklets are created that include the performed sequences of actions for each task agent as well as their assigned scores, and the correct UI script is chosen from the tasklets based on the scores (e.g., tasklet with the highest score).

  • Compositions and methods for modulating left-right differentiation factor (LEFTY) and bone morphogenic factor (BMP)
    Patent number: 12012599
    Abstract: This disclosure provides data showing that LEFTY inhibits differentiation-promoting pathways such as BMP7/pSMAD5 in breast cancer cell lines, over and above its known role of inhibiting Nodal/pSMAD2. LEFTY competes with BMP7 to bind to its cell surface receptor BMPR2, leading to inhibition of pSMAD5. The LEFTY-BMPR2 interaction is dominant over BMP-BMPR2 in tumorigenic cells, resulting in diminished pSMAD status, whereas in non-tumorigenic cells, there is minimal LEFTY-BMPR2 interaction, increased BMP7-BMPR2 association, and elevated pSMAD. Compositions and methods for inducing or inhibiting expression and/or the activity of LEFTY and BMP proteins are described, which can be used in diagnosis and therapy of cancer and other conditions, and to promote proliferation of stem cells.
