  • Patent number: 11425580
    Abstract: Wireless offloading provides tools to a service provider to encourage or direct a subscriber to offload from a first network, e.g., a cellular network, to a second network, e.g., a Wi-Fi network. The cellular service provider can use network data to determine wireless offloading priorities for cellular subscribers on an individual or group basis. The cellular service provider may use wireless network data it has and/or wireless network data it learns about networks from the wireless devices (which may obtain Wi-Fi network data from beacon frames of Wi-Fi networks or active scanning and which may report to the cellular service provider). Each wireless device can be given scanning assignments to ensure that the reporting task is shared among subscribers or adjusted to fill in gaps in data. With the network data, the cellular service provider is capable of generating useful prioritized network lists for wireless devices, either individually or as a group.

  • Publication number: 20220257632
    Abstract: The disclosure provides methods and compositions for microlumen targeting in the treatment of cancers characterized by solid tumors or cell clusters, such as circulating tumor cell (CTC) clusters and disseminated tumor cell (DTC) clusters. The methods and compositions specifically target epigen in microlumenal space between two or more cancer cells and reduce the expression, functionality and/or concentration of epigen within the microlumenal space. The methods and compositions can be part of methods of treating cancer in a subject wherein the cancer is characterized by a solid tumor, a circulating tumor cell (CTC) cluster, and/or a disseminated tumor cell (DTC) cluster. The reduced levels of functional epigen in the microlumen result in reduced incidence of metastasis and increased susceptibility of the tumor cells to additional therapeutic interventions.

  • Publication number: 20220260655
    Abstract: A magnetic particle imaging system that includes a magnetic field generating system with at least one magnet and providing a gradient magnetic field within an observation region such that the gradient magnetic field has a dynamic field-free region (FFR) for an object under observation having strongly-interacting magnetic particles distributed therein. The magnetic field generating system also includes a drive field and a slow shift field that dynamically shifts the FFR across a field of view (FOV) within the observation region, where the trajectory of the drive field accommodates for a coercivity of the strongly-interacting magnetic particles by ensuring that the particles in the FOV are saturated to a full coercivity field prior to traversing to an opposite-polarity of coercivity. The magnetic particle imaging system also includes a detection system proximate the observation region and configured to detect a signal from the strongly-interacting magnetic particles.
