  • Publication number: 20230420859
    Abstract: Methods and systems are disclosed for an antenna system capable of optimal broadside radiation. In certain embodiments, a system may include a flexible and thin polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate stack having a predetermined length. The system may include a printed circuit board (PCB) fabrication of one or more Leaky-Wave Antenna (LWA) structures on the PET substrate stack. The one or more LWA structures have a bent-stub folded LWA configuration have longitudinal asymmetry and transverse asymmetry for a broadside frequency. The bent-stub folded LWA configuration comprises a plurality of conductively unit cells having a unit cell period. Each unit cell of the plurality of conductively unit cells has a folded main feed-line and a bent stub pair with two angularly bent radiating stubs. Embodiments are structured to increase radiation per-unit length and suppress open stopband (OSB).

  • Patent number: 11734418
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, a method and system for establishing the trustworthiness of software and running systems by analyzing software and its provenance using automated means. In some embodiments, a risk score is produced. In some embodiments, software is analyzed for insecure behavior or structure. In some embodiments, parts of the software are hardened by producing possibly multiple different versions of the software with different hardening techniques applied, and a choice can be made based on user or environmental needs. In some embodiments, the software is verified and constraints are enforced on the endpoint using techniques such as verification injection and secure enclaves. In some embodiments, endpoint injection is managed through container orchestration.

  • Publication number: 20230027730
    Abstract: Humanized monoclonal anti-nuclear antibodies with enhanced binding affinity and tumor uptake are presented. Particularly preferred antibodies are site-directed mutants of H-CDR3 with up to about 8-fold improvement in affinity as compared to the non-humanized non-mutated form. In further preferred aspects, such humanized antibodies are employed in tumor necrosis targeted delivery of immune modulators, immune effectors, and other therapeutic or diagnostic agents.

  • Publication number: 20220285018
    Abstract: A method and system providing medical treatment to patients. In some embodiments, a remote practitioner is connected via a referral network to an in-person clinician that can perform work that cannot be performed remotely on behalf of the practitioner. Some embodiments perform a lightweight referral for said work, where the work may be smaller than the minimum procedure code and assigned billing for the overall specific therapy being undertaken. In some embodiments, the in-person clinician is only licensed to be able to perform the tasks they are assigned. In some embodiments, the in-person clinicians operate as the remote in-person medical assistance needed for the remote practitioner to practice medicine. Billing and pricing methods are disclosed for sub-procedure-code tasks.

  • Publication number: 20220264425
    Abstract: A method for configuring a flexible wireless networking system is disclosed. The system may include multiple Wi-Fi transceivers coupled to each other in parallel and selectively couplable to one or more antennas by respective switches. The method may include obtaining topology information indicating whether and how each antenna is in reach of other antennas, determining, dependent on the topology information, a configuration change including a change in which and how many of the antennas are coupled to the Wi-Fi transceivers, and initiating an activation of a switch to couple one of the antennas to one of the Wi-Fi transceivers or a deactivation of a switch to decouple one of the antennas from one of the Wi-Fi transceivers. The configuration change may be determined using a machine learning model. The configuration change may include deactivating a currently active antenna and activating at least one alternate antenna having a different coverage area.

  • Patent number: 11373653
    Abstract: A method and system for detecting speech using close sensor applications, according to some embodiments. In some embodiments, a close microphone is applied to detect sounds with higher muscle or bone transmission components. In some embodiments, a close camera is applied that collects visual information and motion that is correlated with the potential phonemes for such positions and motion. In some embodiments, myography is performed, to detect muscle movement. In an earbud form factor embodiment, processing of different channels of close information is performed to improve the accuracy of the recognition.
