  • Publication number: 20250050122
    Abstract: Systems and methods for wireless stimulation of biological tissue (e.g. nerves, muscle tissue, etc.) and, in one exemplary implementation, to therapy for glaucoma based on the wireless administration of energy to the eye of a mammalian subject (e.g. human, rodent, etc.) to reduce an elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) involving the use of a multi-coil wireless power transfer assembly. The multi-coil wireless power transfer assembly may be used alone or in combination with a stimulation coil that can be implanted in the eye of a mammalian subject or within a contact lens worn by a mammalian subject.

  • Patent number: 12219956
    Abstract: A multi-layer article including a first non-active state and a second active state, the multi-layer article comprising an outer layer having a first side and a second side, an inner layer adjacent to at least a portion of the outer layer and including a volatile material, and an upper layer including a first side and a second side, the first side of the upper layer being adjacent to at least a portion of the inner layer. The multi-layer article is folded upon itself in the first non-active state so that at least a first portion of the second side of the upper layer is disposed on a top of a second portion of the second side of the upper layer, and the first portion and the second portion of the upper layer are heat sealed in the non-active state.

  • Patent number: 10729491
    Abstract: A probe includes a shaft and an applicator head designed to treat irregularly-shaped hollow cavities, such as a cavity in breast tissue created by a lumpectomy procedure. The applicator head has a fixed geometry, and a plurality of electrodes can be advanced from an exterior surface of the applicator head in an omnidirectional pattern. The electrodes are used to deliver radiofrequency current or other energy to ablate the marginal tissue.

  • Patent number: 10440144
    Abstract: A notification platform for distribution of notification content in an on-line social network system, on-line and in near real time, is described. As a new notification is detected in the continuous stream of notifications triggered by time-sensitive events, the near real time notifications distribution system determines member profiles representing potential recipients of the notification by traversing a relationship graph. The relationship graph has nodes representing member profiles, as well as other entities maintained in the on-line social network system. The edges of the relationship graph represent relationships between entities represented by the associated nodes. For each member profile representing a potential recipient of the notification, the near real time notifications distribution system generates a relevance score, which is used to determine whether the notification is to be delivered to the potential recipient.

  • Patent number: 10116756
    Abstract: Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, and machine-readable mediums which provide a relevance engine for determining a relevance of an individual (either a non-member or another member) to another individual (either a non-member or another member). This relevance engine may use signals in the form of data that the social networking service may learn about the individuals to determine how relevant the individuals are to each other.

  • Publication number: 20170177588
    Abstract: A system and method for contextual connection recommendation includes obtaining, with a processor from a database, contextual data and social graph data. related to a pair of members of a social network who are not currently connected on the social network. A connection base score between the pair of members is generated based on the social graph data. A recommendation modifier is generated based on the contextual data. A connection recommendation modified score is determined by applying the recommendation modifier to the base score. A connection recommendation is provided to at least one of the pair of members based, at least in part, on the connection recommendation modified score.
