  • Patent number: 11650979
    Abstract: A method executed by a computing device includes obtaining a string of words and determining whether two or more words of the string of words are in a word group. When the two or more words are in the word group, the method further includes determining a set of identigens for each word of the word group to produce sets of identigens, where a set of identigens of the sets of identigens represents one or more different meanings of a word of the word group. The method further includes interpreting, using identigen pairing rules, the sets of identigens to produce an entigen group. The method further includes assigning a new entigen to represent the entigen group, where the new entigen represents a most likely meaning interpretation of the word group.

  • Publication number: 20230070258
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods of treating a subject with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and methods of predicting the subject's likelihood of responding to a new RA therapy. The methods include administering to the subject a composition comprising a macrophage targeting construct and an imaging moiety conjugated thereto to acquiring planar images of a plurality of joints of the subject, and determining at least one TUVGlobal value for the subject from the planar images. Covariates comprising the quantification of serological RA markers and/or clinical assessments may be further obtained to apply statistical modeling to the combination of the at least one TUVGlobal and the one or more covariates. The statistical modeling is used to determine a likelihood of response to an RA therapy, and a treatment is administered to the subject based on the likelihood of response to the RA therapy.

  • Patent number: 11527181
    Abstract: A system for simultaneously producing immersive visual effects on an inside of an enclosure and passive visual effects to be viewed from the outside of the enclosure. The enclosure includes a plurality of sidewalls each having a reflective inner surface facing one other. The system includes a digital video display positioned to direct digital video imagery through the semi-reflective sidewall and into the enclosure. Light of the digital video imagery reflects off the reflective inner surfaces of plurality of sidewalls, which allow a percentage of the light to leave the enclosure, making the visual effects observable from the outside. The light will continue this cycle of reflection and transmission, creating an observable infinity effect from the outside, and an entirely enclosed visual experience from the inside.

  • Patent number: 11518419
    Abstract: A continuous serpentine concrete beamway forming system and method for creating a hollow continuous serpentine concrete beamway are disclosed. The continuous serpentine concrete beamway forming system and method utilizes a flexible form material that has the ability to conform to curves, angles, and slopes of a target beamway system as intended. The flexible form material is used to form an armature that embodies a precise pathway of the target beamway system. The armature is contiguous throughout a plurality of connected beamway segments that collectively make up the target beamway system and that are precisely aligned to conform to the curves, angles, and slopes of the target beamway system. A part of the armature creates grooves on the surfaces of the connected beamway segments. The grooves are subsequently used to guide machinery that grinds the running surfaces to precise tolerances.
