  • Patent number: 11980739
    Abstract: A fluid delivery device has a syringe barrel-type reservoir with plunger, and plunger driver assembly comprising double-acting, telescoping lead screws that is located behind and outside of the barrel. Simultaneously and counter-rotating sleeve screw and center screw telescope out of a nested configuration of the plunger driver assembly and into the reservoir at a rate of double their individual and equal pitch and lead parameters when the sleeve screw is rotated. A threaded nut and gear anchor disposed on an end of the barrel receive the sleeve screw and the threaded nut causes the sleeve screw to translate and rotate in response to motor operation. A distal end of the center screw can be keyed to a plunger pusher for anti-rotation constraint when the motor is imparting rotation on the threaded nut and sleeve screw.

  • Patent number: 11980775
    Abstract: Generally speaking, pursuant to these various embodiments a memory stores prescribed treatment instructions for a particular patient radiation therapy. Those treatment instructions specify clinical metrics for goals pertaining to at least one treatment volume for the particular patient. Either directly or inferentially those clinical metrics are prioritized. A control circuit automatically converts those treatment instructions into resultant radiation treatment plan optimization objectives where the automatic conversion can compatibly comprise a non-convex optimization objective. The control circuit then automatically iteratively optimizes the radiation treatment plan for the particular patient radiation therapy as a function, at least in part, of the aforementioned resultant optimization objectives to thereby produce an optimized radiation treatment plan for the particular patient that a radiation treatment platform then utilizes to administer therapeutic radiation to the particular patient.

  • Patent number: 11980776
    Abstract: Risks of radiation-induced toxicity associated with a radiotherapy treatment of a target region of a patient are predicted. Data associated with a region of interest comprising the target region is received. The received data includes a predefined dose map of the radiotherapy treatment and pre-radiotherapy-treatment imaging data of the region of interest. A trained machine-learning algorithm is applied to the received data. The trained machine-learning algorithm generates at least one toxicity indicator based on the received data. The at least one toxicity indicator is indicative of the risks of the radiation-induced toxicity.

  • Patent number: 11980511
    Abstract: The invention relates to a computer-implemented method for assessing a clearance between a tooth element to be provided with a dental restoration element and an antagonist of the tooth element. A 3D digital teeth model with 3D digital representations of the tooth element and of a surface area of the antagonist is received. The surface area is offset from the antagonist by adding an offset. The resulting offset surface area defines a limit for the tooth element. For the clearance it is checked, whether the tooth element violates one or more penetration criteria regarding the offset surface area. If the tooth element violates the one or more penetration criteria, the clearance is assessed to be insufficient for the tooth element to be provided with the dental restoration element. Else the clearance is assessed to be sufficient. The result of the assessment is output.
