  • ELECTROPORATION PROBE WITH SELECTABLE INJECTION RATES AND SELECTABLE ELECTRIC FIELD STRENGTH
    Publication number: 20250161661
    Abstract: An improved electroporation probe that delivers both electroporation and medicinal solution injection via a single instrument, and which allows altering of the applied electric field based on requirements of the target, is disclosed. A proximal end of a hollow tubular probe is connected to an injector for injecting medications, cells, proteins or biologics in solution into the probe, and which in turn are ejected through unsealed perforations on a perforated portion of the probe towards its distal end. A movable sleeve is slidable over the perforated portion of the probe in order to seal or unseal its perforations. A tapered metallic tip at the distal end of the probe is connected to an anode terminal of a battery, the distal end of the movable sleeve is connected to a cathode terminal of the battery.

  • Method generating an input in an omnidirectional locomotion system
    Patent number: 10933320
    Abstract: A virtual environment can use an absolute orientation framework. An absolute orientation framework in a virtual environment can be activated using an omnidirectional locomotion platform. An absolute orientation framework enables a user's avatar to move independently from the current viewpoint or camera position. The user's avatar can move in an absolute manner relative to a virtual environment map.
