  • Publication number: 20250111538
    Abstract: A part is positioned between a display and an image capturing device pointed toward the display. A visual feedback loop is conducted using the display and the image capturing device to refine a part profile picture on the display corresponding to a profile of the part in an image captured by the image capturing device. The visual feedback loop recursively projects on a display screen an input picture containing a pattern region; captures images of the part while the display is displaying the input picture; based on the captured image, refines a picture that more closely corresponds to the profile of the part; and sets the refined image to be a next input image. The feedback loop iteratively refines the picture projected on the display screen until it becomes the part profile picture.

  • Publication number: 20250089790
    Abstract: A vapour generating device includes an air inlet, a vapour outlet, an airflow passage extending between the air inlet and the vapour outlet, and a vaporizing unit for vaporizing a vapour generating substance for delivery to a user through the airflow passage via the vapour outlet. The vapour generating device includes a rotary airflow regulator and a rotational biasing member. The rotary airflow regulator is positioned in the airflow passage and configured for rotation in a first direction by an airflow through the airflow passage from the air inlet to the vapour outlet resulting from a user inhalation. The rotational biasing member is configured to apply a torque to the rotary airflow regulator in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and is configured to prevent rotation of the rotary airflow regulator in the first direction when the applied torque exceeds a threshold value corresponding to the user inhalation.

  • Patent number: 12249424
    Abstract: A decision support method and system is provided for monitoring and treating pediatric obesity. Embodiments include generating obesity risk curves corresponding to obesity risk levels, for example, severe and morbid obesity risk levels. Generating obesity risk curves depends on predicting at least one health proxy such as, for example, spend data and chronic conditions. Generating severe obesity curves depends on an age-dependent multiplier. An obesity risk level is assigned to a target pediatric patient using the obesity risk curves dependent on the age-dependent multiplier. In some aspects, an intervening response is initiated based on the assigned obesity risk level.

  • Patent number: 12247067
    Abstract: This invention relates to recombinant human antibody molecules. The antibodies bind fungal antigens, for example from Candida spp. Human antibody encoding genes targeting clinically relevant Candida epitopes have been isolated from single B cells from carefully selected donors and screened with specified types of protein or cell wall extract. The panel of purified, fully human recombinant IgG1 mAbs generated displayed a diverse range of specific binding profiles and demonstrated efficacy in a disease model. The fully human mAbs and derivatives thereof have utility in the generation of diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines.

  • Publication number: 20250077125
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for access heatmap generation at a memory device are described. In some examples, a memory device may maintain a register for tracking access operation occurrence, for which access operations of an address of the memory device may be mapped to multiple fields of the register. In some cases, in response to a first access operation performed on a first address of the memory device, the memory device may increment a first field and a second field of the register and, in response to a second access operation performed on a second address of the memory device, the memory device may increment the first field and a third field of the register. In some examples, the memory device may maintain a second register having a set of fields that each indicate a respective address for which an access occurrence satisfies a threshold.

  • Publication number: 20250072502
    Abstract: A vapour generating device includes: a tubular body having a bore and having a longitudinal axis; a heater arranged to vaporize a liquid; a mouthpiece located at an end of the bore and configured for a user to apply a suction force to draw the vaporised liquid along the bore from the heater to the mouthpiece; and first and second baffles located in the bore between the heater and the mouthpiece. The baffles are staggered apart from each other around the longitudinal axis and along the longitudinal axis. Each one of the baffles is movable by the suction force to partially obstruct the width of the bore, thereby to cause the vaporised liquid to follow a tortuous path around the first and second baffles to the mouthpiece and to block the passage of drops of non-vaporised liquid to the mouthpiece.

  • Patent number: 12242743
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are systems, devices, machine-readable mediums, and methods for customizing an in-memory versioning mode for each memory location according to a predicted access behavior to optimize memory device performance. Usage data in a previous time period may be utilized along with policy rules to determine whether to configure a particular memory address as a zero copy or direct copy mode. For example, memory addresses that are read frequently may be configured as direct copy mode to reduce the read latency penalty. This improves the functioning of the memory system by reducing read latency for memory addresses that are frequently read but written to less frequently, and reduces write latency for memory locations that are frequently written to, but not read as frequently.
