Patent number: 12232902Abstract: A system is described for generating a revascularization score for a blockage of a coronary artery in a heart. The system accesses indications of viability of myocardial tissue in the heart, a blockage state of the blockage that includes a blockage location and a blockage amount, and the perfusion territory of the myocardial tissue. Based on the myocardial tissue state, blockage state, and perfusion territory, the system generates a revascularization score for the blockage. The system generates a graphic of the heart that illustrates coronary arteries, myocardial tissue state, blockage state, and the revascularization score. The system displays the graphic to provide a visual representation of the revascularization score for the blockage of the coronary artery.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2024Date of Patent: February 25, 2025Inventors: Travis Pollema, Gordon Ho, Robert Joseph Krummen, Christopher J.

Publication number: 20250043113Abstract: Disclosed is a material comprising a soy protein isolate (SPI), an additive and a cellulose, wherein the material is capable of curing through heat or at room temperature to form a solid object. The components of the material are non-cytotoxic, sustainable, and generally regarded as safe (GRAS), and can be used for precise syringe extrusion, after which the resulting product may be solidified using heat. The applications of this material include a potential replacement for the petroleum-based thermoplastics used in extrusion-based 3D printing, and the creation of biodegradable implants and/or drug delivery systems.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2024Publication date: February 6, 2025Inventors: Emmanuel Abraham Ho, Ryan Christopher Nodder, Yannick Leandre Traore

Patent number: 11169825Abstract: In an example method, a request for a dynamic access link is received from a first device. The request includes data identifying a first network resource. A subject associated with the first network resource is identified, and one or more additional network resources pertaining to the subject are determined. The dynamic access link is determined, and the dynamic access link is provided to the first device. A network resource access request is received from a second device. The network resource access request is generated responsive to the dynamic access link being selected. Responsive to receiving the network resource access request, at least one of the first resource or the one or more additional network resources is chosen, and a network address of the chosen resource is provided to the second device.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: November 9, 2021Assignee: The Narrativ Company, Inc.Inventors: Shirley Chen, Christopher Ho Sang

Patent number: 11125883Abstract: Efficient and scalable three-dimensional point cloud segmentation. In an embodiment, a three-dimensional point cloud is segmented by adding points to a spatial hash. For each unseen point, a cluster is generated, the unseen point is added to the cluster and marked as seen, and, for each point that is added to the cluster, the point is set as a reference, a reference threshold metric is computed, all unseen neighbors are identified based on the reference threshold metric, and, for each identified unseen neighbor, the unseen neighbor is marked as seen, a neighbor threshold metric is computed, and the neighbor is added or not added to the cluster based on the neighbor threshold metric. When the cluster reaches a threshold size, it may be added to a cluster list. Objects may be identified based on the cluster list and used to control autonomous system(s).Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 2021Date of Patent: September 21, 2021Assignee: APEX.AI, INC.Inventor: Christopher Ho

Patent number: 10657710Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for rendering computer graphics. In various embodiments, a displacement map is created for a plurality of surfaces and a tessellation process is initiated. It is determined that the tessellation density of a first set of surfaces and a second set of surfaces should be modified based on the displacement map. Based on the displacement map, a tessellation factor scale for each surface of the first set of surfaces is increased and a tessellation factor scale for each surface of the second set of surfaces is decreased, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2018Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: SONY INTERACTIVE ENTERTAINMENT INC.Inventors: John Doolittle, Jun Murakawa, Christopher Ho
