  • Patent number: 12263275
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for retention of shape of decellularized tissue or of a portion of an organ can be accomplished through the irradiation of the decellularized tissue or the portion of the organ inside a shaping mold. The enclosure of decellularized tissue or a portion of an organ inside of a mold or other constraining material, such as stainless steel or platinum or polymers such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or polycaprolactone (PCL), allows the tissue to take on the shape of the mold or constraint and subsequently retain that shape after it is irradiated. This can result in decellularized extracellular matrix having defined (pre-determined) shapes. The system can include a hollow device which contains the filler or plug. The system may be inserted into the fistula tract and the filler or plug may be deployed by pulling, pushing or otherwise expelling the filler or plug into the tract.

  • Patent number: 12266175
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for automatically detecting an introduction/opening song within a multimedia file. The method includes designating sequential blocks of time in the multimedia file as scene(s) and detecting certain feature(s) associated with each scene. The extracted scene feature(s) may be analyzed and used to assign a probability to each scene that the scene is part of the introduction/opening song. The probabilities may be used to classify each scene as either correlating to or not correlating to, the introduction/opening song. The temporal location of the opening song may be saved as index data associated with the multimedia file.

  • Patent number: 12267565
    Abstract: A profile provider: (i) associates a primary online device (OD1) with a set-top box (STB); (ii) a location of OD1 at some point in time is estimated to be “near” the STB, thereby establishing a STB proxy location; (iii) one or more secondary online devices (OD2s) are observed to be located “near” the STB proxy location and are associated with the STB; and (iv) a television advertisement is selected to be directed to the STB, which selection is based at least in part on profile information linked to one of the associated OD2s. The method can be particularly advantageous in situations wherein: the STB is not connected to any computer network; the STB is not ever connected to the same local area network as OD1 or OD2; or television service (used by the STB) and online access (used by OD1 and OD2s) are provided by different service providers.

  • Patent number: 12262910
    Abstract: A device for insertion of a flexible needle or other such instrument into a tissue, incorporating a collapsible support guide which supports that part of the needle which has not yet penetrated the tissue, preventing it from buckling, and an arrangement which pulls the needle from its proximal end to provide sufficient force for the penetration process. The collapsible support guide can be a pair of flexible strips connected along their length and enclosing the needle along its uninserted length in order to support it, with a mechanism at the distal end of the device to peel the strips from the needle as it is inserted. Insertion can be achieved by a pair of rollers engaging and advancing the strips distally. Alternatively, a telescopic support tube can be used to support the needle, the tube collapsing telescopically as the needle is inserted, to maintain clearance above the needle.

  • Publication number: 20250104837
    Abstract: Techniques for monitoring a physiological condition of a patient are provided. In some embodiments, the techniques may involve obtaining a predictive association model associated with the patient, wherein the predictive association model comprises an association of two or more categorical state values that are predictive of the patient consuming a meal. The techniques may further involve obtaining real-time data associated with the patient. The techniques may further involve determining a current state of the patient based at least in part on the real-time data by transforming the real-time data into two or more current state categorical values. The techniques may further involve predicting consumption of a meal in response to determining the two or more current state categorical values match the two or more categorical state values of the association.

  • Publication number: 20250104365
    Abstract: For artificial reality (XR) applications that need a guardian, aspects of the present disclosure can automatically determine where boundaries should be set in the real-world environment. Using a machine learning model, the automatic boundary system can detect the floor plane, then generate a height map of the real-world environment with the floor at zero. The height map can include positive heights (e.g., objects on the floor) and negative heights (e.g., downward leading stairs). The automatic boundary system can then generate a boundary for the area based on the detected heights by: applying thresholds to disregard objects at certain heights, applying thresholds to disregard open areas at certain widths, excluding oddly shaped areas that would constantly trigger the boundary if the user were nearby, etc. The user can further manually adjust the generated boundary in both directions (e.g., bringing it closer or further from the user).
