  • Patent number: 12280087
    Abstract: The present invention provides a composition comprising specific self-assembling peptides, which are capable of self-assembly at a pH below 7.5 and at least physiologic ionic strength, e.g., PI 1-4. PI 1-8, PI 1-14, PI 1-13, PI 1-12, PI 1-28, PI 1-29, PI 1-2, PI 1-5, PI 1-17, PI 1-19, PI 1-20, PI 1-12, PI 1-16, PI 1-18, PI 1-26 or PI 1-31 for use in treating an oral disease selected from the group consisting of gingivitis, periodontitis and/or peri-implantitis in a subject. Said composition may be used, after suitable cleaning procedures, for filling pockets formed adjacent to teeth in said diseases, which enhances tissue regeneration. The composition may be suitable for controlled release of an active agent, e.g., an antimicrobial or antibiotic agent. The invention also provides a kit suitable for said treatment further comprising self-assembling peptides suitable for forming a second layer on top of the first composition.

  • Publication number: 20250111687
    Abstract: Systems and processes for evaluating algorithms for aligning weakly-annotated data to recognized characters in a document are provided. In a method for evaluating an algorithm for aligning annotation data to recognized characters, strong annotations and weak-to-strong annotations, which are generated by applying a weak-to-strong annotation alignment algorithm, for a document are received and matched to generate respective pairs of matched annotations. For each pair of matched annotations, respective metrics are calculated including comparisons of aspects of the strong annotations to the weak-to-strong annotations. The respective metrics are aggregated, and an indication of the aggregated metrics are output to a graphical user interface or targeted application. Aggregated metrics determined for different weak-to-strong annotation alignment algorithms may be compared in order to select or adjust an algorithm to be used for Optical Character Recognition (OCR) operations.

  • Publication number: 20250054325
    Abstract: Systems and processes for aligning weakly-annotated data to recognized characters in a document are provided. In a method for aligning annotation data to recognized characters, annotation words and character recognition tokens are received, and a search algorithm is performed to align the annotation words to the tokens in a stepwise manner. At each step, an annotation word is aligned to one or more tokens, and a cost of each respective alignment is calculated. Once all annotation words are aligned, a full set of annotation word-token pairs corresponding to the annotation is selected based on a total cost of alignment for that set. A bounding box enclosing the tokens in the selected full set is generated and output to a target application.

  • Publication number: 20250023591
    Abstract: A method improves antenna matching for a node, in particular a sensor apparatus and/or actuator apparatus, of a communications network. The node is capable of radio communication and has a radio module equipped with an antenna and a transmit path and/or receive path for radio signals to be emitted and/or received. The node has a power supply apparatus, which is preferably energy self-sufficient, in particular a battery. The antenna has an impedance and in the receive situation and/or in the transmit situation in the case of adjustable matchings, preferably by use of adjustable matching networks, the signal to noise ratio associated with each matching is estimated, and a matching is selected from the different matchings for the receive mode and/or the transmit mode.

  • Publication number: 20240358413
    Abstract: A revision connector that is configured to couple a new spine fixation rod to a previously implanted spine fixation rod that is secured to a plurality of vertebrae. The previously implanted spine fixation rod may be received in a first rod receiving channel of the revision connector. The revision connector may include a linkage that is received in a second rod receiving channel of another revision connector. For example, the another revision connector may couple to the new spine fixation rod such that the revision connector is coupled to the new fixation rod. A bone anchor may not directly connect either of the revision connector or the another revision connector to underlying vertebra. Also, the new spine fixation rod can be implanted and secured to vertebra that are caudal and/or cranial with respect to the previously secured vertebrae.

  • Patent number: 10830861
    Abstract: A method for direction finding is described wherein incoming signals are scanned and analyzed. The bearing value and its quality of the incoming signals are determined by using a direction finding method. A covariance matrix is generated from the incoming signals by using a multiple-wave detector unit. The dimension of the covariance matrix is reduced in order to obtain a reduced covariance matrix. The eigenvalues of the reduced covariance matrix are determined. Then, it is determined whether more than one signal, a single signal or no signal is detected by using the eigenvalues and the quality determined by using the direction finding method. Further, a direction finder is described.
