Patent number: 11857794Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, systems and methods for managing pain of a subject. A system includes one or more physiological sensors configured to sense a physiological signal indicative of patient brain activity. The physiological signals may include an electroencephalography signal, a magnetoencephalography signal, or a brain-evoked potential. The system may extract from the brain activity signal one or more signal metrics indicative of strength or pattern of brain electromagnetic activity associated with pain, and generate a pain score using the one or more signal metrics. The pain score can be output to a patient or a process. The system may select an electrode configuration for pain-relief electrostimulation based on the pain score, and deliver a closed-loop pain therapy according to the selected electrode configuration.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2022Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Boston Scientific Neuromodulation CorporationInventors: Elizabeth Mary Annoni, Jianwen Gu, Rosana Esteller, Bryan Allen Clark, Pramodsingh Hirasingh Thakur, Kyle Harish Srivastava

Patent number: 11815094Abstract: Rotary positive displacement machines based on trochoidal geometry that includes a helical rotor that undergoes planetary motion relative to a helical stator are described. The rotor can have a hypotrochoidal-based cross-sectional shape, with the corresponding stator cavity cross-sectional shape being the outer envelope of the rotor cross-sectional shape as it undergoes planetary motion, or the stator cavity can have an epitrochoidal-based cross-sectional shape with the corresponding rotor cross-sectional shape being the inner envelope of the stator cross-sectional shape as it undergoes planetary motion. Such machines can be configured so that the stator axis is spaced from the rotor axis, the rotor is configured to spin about its axis and the stator is configured to spin about its axis, and/or the rotor and the stator are held at a fixed eccentricity so that the rotor undergoes planetary motion relative to the stator, but does not orbit.Type: GrantFiled: March 10, 2021Date of Patent: November 14, 2023Assignee: Rotoliptic Technologies IncorporatedInventors: Greg John Montie, Peter Thomas Christopher Suke, Adrian James Corless, Bryan Allen Callaway

Publication number: 20230196475Abstract: A damage assessment module operating on a computer system automatically evaluates a property, estimating damage to the property by analyzing a point cloud of a property. The damage assessment module identifies individual point clusters or segments from the point cloud and detects potentially damaged areas of the property surface by identifying outlier points in the point clusters. The damage assessment module may be used to determine the financial cost of the damage and/or determine whether the property should be replaced or repaired. In addition to eliminating the need for an estimator to visit the property in person, the damage assessment module improves the consistency and accuracy associated with estimating damage to a property.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 16, 2023Publication date: June 22, 2023Inventors: Bryan Allen Plummer, Drew Cross, Nathan L.

Patent number: 11676406Abstract: A 3D objects training dataset is augmented by accessing a 3D point cloud representation of an object and by applying an augmentation routine on the point cloud to generate an augmented point cloud. The augmentation routine comprises randomly selecting an execution order of at least one of (i) adding a noise to the point cloud, (ii) applying a geometric transformation on the point cloud and (iii) applying a degradation on the point cloud. The randomly selected execution order of these operations on the point cloud is applied, and the augmented point cloud is added to the objects training dataset. A machine learning algorithm (MLA) is trained by inputting the 3D point cloud representation to generate an output, comparing the output with an expected label associated with the point cloud representation to determine a measure of error on the output, and iteratively adjusting various weights associated with nodes of the MLA.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2021Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: APPLICATIONS MOBILES OVERVIEW INC.Inventors: Laurent Juppe, Sherif Esmat Omar Abuelwafa, Bryan Allen Martin
