  • Patent number: 11717569
    Abstract: This invention relates, at least in part, to compositions comprising synthetic nanocarriers and immunosuppressants that result in immune suppressive effects. Such compositions can further comprise antigen and provide antigen-specific tolerogenic immune responses.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 22, 2016
    Date of Patent: August 8, 2023
    Assignee: Selecta Biosciences, Inc.
    Inventors: Christopher Fraser, Grayson B. Lipford, Christopher J. Roy, Roberto A. Maldonado
  • Patent number: 11592796
    Abstract: The present invention is a water fountain control system that utilizes cameras to analyze movements of a human subject, and actuates one or more water fountain controllers in response to the movements to create a display incorporating spray patterns of the flowing water. The camera system records video in real time and generates optical signals that are sent to a processor running software that assesses the dimension, position, stance, and/or motion of the human subject and converts the data into recognized classes of movements and/or poses. Once the processor identifies the type of movements and/or poses, it sends signals to the actuators of the water fountains to control the fountains in a manner that implements stored predetermined visual effects generated by the fountain to create a visual presentation to an audience.

  • Publication number: 20220023907
    Abstract: An artistic presentation in the form of a shadow box is disclosed where the shadow box has been augmented with various dynamic visual effects. One such dynamic visual effect is the movement of water across the shadow box, simulating rain droplets, waterfall, sheets of water, or aerosolized water such as fog or mist. When combined with various lighting effects, the combined dynamic visual presentation permits a constantly changing visual appearance that can recycle and go on indefinitely.
