  • Publication number: 20260027308
    Abstract: An automated, and/or semi-automated, reciprocating medicament mixing and injector system, where the energy provided to transfer medicament components back and forth between containers or cartridges can be redirected to deliver the mixed medicament components. A pressurized gas source can drive the flow through a plurality of valves to mix medicament between containers. In a fully automated embodiment, a user activated button advances a magnet to power solenoid valves to control mixing, and then dispensing the medicament. In a semi-automated embodiment, a user activated button releases pressurized gas, and mixing button routes the gas through alternating valves fluidly coupled to the containers to mix the medicaments.

  • Publication number: 20240173034
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods disclosed herein may be directed to clips for medical implementation, including clips for a portion of a heart. The clips may be configured to close the portion of the heart, to reduce blood flow therethrough as well as passage of clots or other undesired materials. In examples, the clips may be configured to close the left atrial appendage (LAA). The closure of the LAA may reduce the possibility of stroke or other maladies stemming from fluid flow with the LAA. In examples, the clips may be positioned exterior of the LAA, to extend over an outer surface of the LAA for closure.

  • Patent number: 11961172
    Abstract: A system and method for object monitoring, detection, and segmentation in electro-optical (EO) satellite imagery data comprising an image processing engine configured to prepare EO data for analysis by an inference engine which utilizes one or more trained models to perform object detection or image segmentation. The workflow begins with ingesting satellite data, followed by de-hazing to remove atmospheric interference. Image enhancement improves resolution and geo-registration ensures precise spatial alignment. The processed image is then fed into a machine learning-based object detection or image segmentation network, trained to identify specific objects of interest. This integrated approach leverages advanced technologies to extract actionable insights from satellite data, enabling efficient and precise object monitoring, detection, and segmentation.
