  • Patent number: 12268424
    Abstract: An orthopedic plate is specifically configured for use in osteotomies, in which part of the plate extends into a portion of a first bone segment and part is external to the cortical surface of an adjacent bone segment to fix the segments to allow them to fuse. The plate has a first end and a second end where the end which is inserted into the bone has a chamfer and a through hole having a hole axis optionally at an oblique angle to the longitudinal axis of the plate, and which can receive a screw, peg or pin. The second end of the plate includes a locking screw hole and optionally including a compression slot extending in a direction toward a screw hole in the opposing end. Optionally, the non-locking hole has a shroud that forms an arc or portion of a cylinder over the hole. A plate driver having a recess that holds the plate is used to insert the plate into the bone.

  • Patent number: 12272945
    Abstract: Multi-semiconductor SSPCs that solve bus level problems affecting systems as well as controller level problems affecting individual multi-semiconductor SSPCs are disclosed. Bus level and controller level problems adversely affect multi-semiconductor SSPCs and their associated systems. The disclosed multi-semiconductor SSPCs solve both bus level and controller level problems by implementing controlled rate-change of voltage (dv/dt) ramp-on rate, to ensure that the voltage on the input bus does not collapse when a multi-semiconductor SSPC is commanded closed and that a minimum amount of power is being dissipated evenly across the switching semiconductors.

  • Publication number: 20250111919
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for adjusting a messaging tonality of messages delivered to a user are described. The system may acquire baseline physiological data measured from the user and generate one or more messages based on the baseline physiological data and in accordance with a first messaging tonality. The system may acquire additional physiological data from the user based on providing the one or more messages. In some cases, the system may perform an evaluation of the first messaging tonality by comparing the additional physiological data with the baseline physiological data and select a second messaging tonality from a plurality of messaging tonalities based on the evaluation of the first messaging tonality. The system may generate one or more additional messages to be provided to the user in accordance with the second messaging tonality based on selecting the second messaging tonality.

  • Publication number: 20250111392
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide techniques for improving application utilization using prediction-based recommendations. In various embodiments, a method includes receiving user engagement data associated with a user-accessed application and an entity identifier of a particular entity and receiving historical user engagement data for additional entities associated with the user-accessed application and at least one of a plurality of candidate applications. The method includes determining a subset of the additional entities using a similarity analysis between the user engagement data and the historical user engagement data. The method includes generating, using a machine learning model, respective recommendation scores for the candidate applications based on the user engagement data, the machine learning model having been trained using a subset of the historical user engagement data corresponding to the subset of additional entities.

  • Patent number: 12265587
    Abstract: Connections among two different entities are identified by processing a collection of documents to identify one or more documents that contain co-occurring mentions of each of the two different entities. This relationship may be graphically displayed in a user interface with an icon or the like for each of the two entities, along with a graphical link interconnecting the entities. The graphical link can be an active element of the user interface that responds to user interactions by providing access to evidence within the collection of documents that substantiates the connection between the two entities. In one aspect, a search input form field in a user interface may be used to explicitly request documents that substantiate a relationship between two entities. In another aspect, a user may ground entity mentions by explicitly selecting documents that mention an entity of interest.
