  • Patent number: 11738199
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for delivering neurostimulation therapies to patients for treating chronic heart failure. A neural fulcrum zone is identified and ongoing neurostimulation therapy is delivered within the neural fulcrum zone. This neural fulcrum zone corresponds to a combination of stimulation parameters at which autonomic engagement is achieved, while the tachycardia-inducing stimulation effects are offset by the bradycardia-inducing effects, thereby minimizing side effects such as significant heart rate changes while providing a therapeutic level of stimulation.

  • Patent number: 11741643
    Abstract: A system for generating a 4D representation of a scene in motion given a sinogram collected from the scene while in motion. The system generates, based on scene parameters, an initial 3D representation of the scene indicating linear attenuation coefficients (LACs) of voxels of the scene. The system generates, based on motion parameters, a 4D motion field indicating motion of the scene. The system generates, based on the initial 3D representation and the 4D motion field, a 4D representation of the scene that is a sequence of 3D representations having LACs. The system generates a synthesized sinogram of the scene from the generated 4D representation. The system adjusts the scene parameters and the motion parameters based on differences between the collected sinogram and the synthesized sinogram. The processing is repeated until the differences satisfy a termination criterion.

  • Patent number: 11739314
    Abstract: Methods and compositions for multiplexed protein-protein interaction profiling (e.g., immunoprofiling), based on nucleic acid tagging of polypeptides (e.g., by RNA display) are described. In some embodiments the described compositions and methods utilize a library of prey polypeptide targets linked to prey RNAs encoding them, and a population of bait polypeptides, e.g., a mixture of antibodies, that bind to one or more of the prey polypeptide targets and are used to isolate and identify the bound prey polypeptide targets by amplification of their associated prey RNAs and sequencing of the corresponding cDNAs. In other embodiments the prey polypeptide targets are linked to DNA Bar Codes, which serve as unique identifiers of the tagged polypeptide.
