  • Automotive trim part based on recycled materials
    Patent number: 12291274
    Abstract: An automotive trim part is provided made of a laminated structure generally consisting of a thermoplastic core layer extruded from at least one feedstock derived from recycled material. The feedstock may consist at least partially of vehicle trim part waste from another vehicle, or trim part waste associated with an automotive trim part the same or similar to the part being produced. The core layer is preferably covered by fibrous layers and may be configured for use at least as a portion of a vehicle's wheel well.

  • System for detecting micro-neuromas and methods of use thereof
    Patent number: 11998270
    Abstract: The invention provides methods of diagnosing neuropathic corneal pain by the detection of neuromas, such as micro-neuromas, on the cornea. The invention also features systems for detecting the presence of anatomical features located on an ocular tissue surface that may be a marker for neuropathic corneal pain. The systems feature an in vivo confocal microscope and a computer N programmed with a neural network to automate the analysis of the microscope images. The invention provides methods of using the system to identify a micro-neuroma in images collected of an ocular surface and methods of diagnosing neuropathic corneal pain and monitoring treatment of neuropathic corneal pain using a system of the invention.
