Publication number: 20250124757Abstract: Technology for managing a player session at a gaming table is disclosed. A table management system receives identifying information of a player seated at the gaming table transmitted by a mobile device associated with the player. The identifying information includes a seating position of the player at the gaming table, the seating position determined by the mobile device through interaction with a locating device placed at the seating position at the gaming table. The table management system generates the player session for the player for playing a wagering game at the gaming table using the identifying information of the player transmitted by the mobile device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2024Publication date: April 17, 2025Inventors: Kevin Higgins, Erik Petersen, Christopher Levin, Eduardo Meza, Jeffery Shepherd

Patent number: 12272067Abstract: Methods and apparatuses (including systems and devices), including computer-implemented methods for segmenting, correcting and/or modifying a three-dimensional (3D) model of a subject's oral cavity to determine individual components such as teeth, gingiva, tongue, palate, etc., that may be selective and/or collectively digitally manipulated. In some implementations, artificial intelligence uses libraries of labeled 2D images and 3D dental models to learn how to segment a 3D dental model of a subject's oral cavity using 2D images, height map and/or other data and projection values that relate the 2D images to the 3D model. As noted herein, the dental classes can include a variety of intra-oral and extra-oral objects and can be represented as binary values, discrete values, a continuum of height map data, etc. In some implementations, several dental classes are predicted concurrently.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2023Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: Align Technology, Inc.Inventors: Chad C. Brown, Yun Gao, Pavel Agniashvili, Avraham Zulti, Jonathan Coslovsky, Christopher E. Cramer, Roman Gudchenko, Ofer Saphier, Adi Levin, Maayan Moshe, Doron Malka

Publication number: 20250090224Abstract: A system for treating a patient comprises an elongate shaft, an expandable reservoir and a fluid delivery assembly. The elongate shaft comprises a distal portion and is constructed and arranged to be introduced into a gastrointestinal lumen. The expandable reservoir is positioned on the elongate shaft distal portion and is constructed and arranged to receive a first fixed amount of ablative fluid and to deliver a first thermal dose of energy to a first portion of target tissue. The fluid delivery assembly is in fluid communication with the expandable reservoir and is constructed and arranged to deliver the first fixed amount of ablative fluid to the expandable reservoir. Devices and methods for treating tissue of a patient are also provided.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2024Publication date: March 20, 2025Applicant: Fractyl Health, Inc.Inventors: Jay Caplan, Philip S.
