  • Publication number: 20250037858
    Abstract: The present invention disclose a medical image-based system for predicting lesion classification and a method thereof. The system comprises a feature data extracting module for providing a raw feature data based on a medical image, and a predicting module for outputting a predicted class and a risk index according to the raw feature data. The predicting module comprises a classification unit for generating the predicted class and a prediction score corresponding thereto according to the raw feature data, and a risk evaluation unit for generating the risk index according to the prediction score. The system provides medical personnels a reference score and a risk index to determine progression of a certain disease.

  • Patent number: 12102179
    Abstract: A separable footwear article comprising an outsole oriented at a bottom of the footwear and configured for ground contact, the outsole comprising a first material, an upper portion comprising a second material different from the first material, and a welt positioned between the outsole and the upper. The welt is releasably coupled to the outsole with a first thread using a first stitching technique, and releasably coupled to the upper portion with a second thread using a second stitching technique. The outsole, the upper portion, and the welt are configured to be separated upon receipt of a pulling force upon the first thread and the second thread sufficient to remove the first thread and the second thread from the footwear article.
