  • Patent number: 12228719
    Abstract: An optical imaging device for a microscope includes an objective and an optical system configured to interact with the objective for optically imaging an object selectively in a first operating mode and a second operating mode. The optical system includes a first optical subsystem associated with the first operating mode, and a second optical subsystem associated with the second operating mode. The first optical subsystem is configured to form a first image of the object with a first magnification. The second optical subsystem is configured to form a second image of the object with a second magnification that is less than the first magnification. The second optical subsystem includes an optical module insertable into the optical path for selecting the second operating mode. The optical module includes a lens element with a positive refractive power.

  • Patent number: 12227755
    Abstract: The invention relates to an infectious arenavirus particle that is engineered to contain a genome with the ability to amplify and express its genetic information in infected cells but unable to produce further infectious progeny particles in normal, not genetically engineered cells. One or more of the four arenavirus open reading frames glycoprotein (GP), nucleoprotein (NP), matrix protein Z and RNA-dependent RNA polymerase L are removed or mutated to prevent replication in normal cells but still allowing gene expression in arenavirus vector-infected cells, and foreign genes coding for an antigen or other protein of interest or nucleic acids modulating host gene expression are expressed under control of the arenavirus promoters, internal ribosome entry sites or under control of regulatory elements that can be read by the viral RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, cellular RNA polymerase I, RNA polymerase II or RNA polymerase III.

  • Patent number: 12226495
    Abstract: Novel 18F-labelled tetrazines are provided which are highly reactive to be effective in vivo, suitable for pretargeted positron emission tomography (PET) and accessible in radiochemical yields (RCYs) which allow access to 18F-labeled tetrazines for clinical applications. The 18F-labelled tetrazines are developed using a Cu-mediated click indirect labelling approach. Only a subset of compounds appeared to be suitable for clinical pretargeted imaging strategies, and a particular compound which includes the use of an 18F-labelled azide synthon having an azide structure with glucose as the linker and a triazole moiety within the linker, appears to be highly suited for clinical pretargeted imaging purposes.

  • Patent number: 12228991
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for architecture-based power management for a memory device are described. Aspects include operating a first memory bank within a memory device in a first mode and a second memory bank within the memory device in a second mode. The memory device may receive a power down command for the first memory bank while operating the first memory bank in the first mode and the second memory bank in the second mode and switch the first memory bank from the first mode to a first low power mode while maintaining the second memory bank in the second mode. The first low power mode corresponds to less power consumption by the first memory bank than the first mode. In some cases, switching the first memory bank from the first mode to the first low power mode includes deactivating circuitry dedicated to the first memory bank.

  • Patent number: 12229677
    Abstract: A method for detecting network anomalies includes receiving a control message from a cellular network and extracting one or more features from the control message. The method also includes predicting a potential label for the control message using a predictive model configured to receive the one or more extracted features from the control message as feature inputs. Here, the predictive model is trained on a set of training control messages where each training control message includes one or more corresponding features and an actual label. The method further includes determining that a probability of the potential label satisfies a confidence threshold. The method also includes analyzing the control message to determine whether the control message corresponds to a respective network performance issue. When the control message impacts network performance, the method includes communicating the network performance issue to a network entity responsible for the network performance issue.

  • Publication number: 20250050047
    Abstract: A gas flow control device uses the curvature of nasal cannula or other tubes conveying the gas to control an actuator movable between two different configurations to permit or prevent gas flow. Curvature of the nasal cannula is measured by a sensor whose electrical resistance changes in response to the curvature of the sensor. The sensor is mounted on the cannula. Signals from the sensor are transmitted to a controller, which moves the actuator when the curvature exceeds or falls below a threshold value as measured by the change in electrical resistance of the sensor. The device finds use in oxygen therapy, where oxygen flow to a patient is cut off when the sensor indicates non-compliant behavior by the patient, indicating release of oxygen into the environment and causing a potential fire hazard.
