Publication number: 20240070044Abstract: Systems, devices, media, and methods are presented for releasing an application feature in incremental stages while monitoring the application for anomalies. The feature includes a package of code and an action setting. The methods in some implementations include identifying active devices on which the application has been installed, monitoring the application according to a set of metrics, activating the feature by changing its action setting for a first segment of the active devices, pausing the feature if an anomaly is detected among the set of metrics, and generating a repair ticket. As long as no anomaly is detected, the activating step proceeds for subsequent segments of the active devices, iteratively, until the release is completed. A feature rank may be used to process and release a plurality of features in order of priority.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 3, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Michael Cieslak, Jiayao Yu, Kai Chen, Farnaz Azmoodeh, Michael David Marr, Jun Huang, Zahra Ferdowsi, Olamide Valerie Olatunji, David Boyle, Claire Reinert

Patent number: 9629939Abstract: Provided is a foam material, comprising a plurality of substantially collagenous beads, wherein the foam material is a bead foam, and wherein adjacent collagenous beads are fused together by a network of collagen fibers. Also provided are methods for preparation of foam materials comprising a plurality of substantially collagenous beads. The foam materials may be used in applications such as bioscaffolds for wound healing, soft tissue regeneration and augmentation, for localized cell delivery, or as cell culture substrates for research. The foam materials include natural collagen fibrils that provide a stable scaffold and enhance integration of the implanted scaffold and regeneration of cells and tissue.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2013Date of Patent: April 25, 2017Assignee: Queen's University at KingstonInventors: Lauren E. Flynn, Claire Yu
