  • Patent number: 12256990
    Abstract: There is provided a method of processing image data defining a fundus image of a retina to include supplementary information on a designated feature in the fundus image, comprising: designating (S10) a feature in the fundus image; receiving (S20) OCT data of a C-scan of the retina; selecting (S30) a subset of the OCT data representing a volumetric image of a part of the retina at a location on the retina corresponding to a location of the designated feature in the fundus image; processing (S40) the selected subset to generate, as the supplementary information, supplementary image data indicative of a variation, along a depth direction of the retina, of a measured reflectance of the eye in the selected subset; and combining (S50) the image data with the supplementary image data, such that an image defined by the combined data provides an indication of the variation at the designated feature.

  • Patent number: 12262411
    Abstract: This disclosure provides methods, devices and systems for protecting latency-sensitive communications during restricted target wake time (r-TWT) service periods (SPs). Some implementations more specifically relate to coordinated scheduling of r-TWT SPs between OBSSs. In some aspects, a first AP may coordinate with a second AP in scheduling r-TWT SPs so that latency-sensitive traffic in a first BSS does not interfere or collide with latency-sensitive traffic in a second BSS overlapping the first BSS. In some implementations, the first and second APs may schedule their respective r-TWT SPs to be orthogonal in time. In some other implementations, the first and second APs may schedule their r-TWT SPs to overlap in time, while allocating coordinated resources to concurrent or overlapping latency-sensitive traffic in the first and second BSSs (such as in accordance with one or more multi-AP coordination techniques).

  • Publication number: 20250097770
    Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure provide mechanisms for conveying (critical) updates to a corresponding STA that is in an unassociated state. In some cases, a network entity may obtain an update during a communication session, such as a sensing measurement session. The network entity may then output a notification of the update to another wireless device. The network entity may also output the actual update itself.

  • Publication number: 20250090481
    Abstract: A method of reducing production of carbon dioxide or methane from farmed animals, including administering to an animal a formulation of carbon dioxide or methane reducing concentrations of vitamin K. The method reduces the carbon dioxide and/or the methane in one or more of breath exhalant of the animal, faeces of the animal, and from soil on which the faeces have been deposited. M ethane production is reduced by at least 20% by volume and carbon dioxide production is reduced by at least 20% by volume. The vitamin K is formulated to be isolated until the vitamin K reaches to gut of the animal whereupon it is formulated to be released and mix with stomach or rumen fluid. The method increases animal weight gain over time, inhibits or prevents production of skatole compounds production from metabolism of the animal over time, and reduces production of offensive odours from animal faeces.

  • Publication number: 20250095778
    Abstract: A sequencing data analysis platform can process datasets that include a large number of sequence read. The reads are aligned to one or more reference genomes. Due to sequencing errors, sequencing noise, or genuine differences between a reference genome and the individual species being sequenced, this mapping process may tolerate a certain number of mismatches, insertions, or deletions. The sequencing data analysis platform provides a set of tools for analyzing and visualizing the sequence reads.

  • Patent number: 12251300
    Abstract: A diametrically adjustable endoprosthesis includes a controlled expansion element extending along at least a portion of a graft and is supported by a stent. The controlled expansion element diametrically constrains and limits expansion of the endoprosthesis. Upon deployment from a smaller, delivery configuration, the endoprosthesis can expand to the initial diameter set by the controlled expansion element. Thereafter, the endoprosthesis can be further diametrically expanded (e.g., using balloon dilation) by mechanically altering the controlled expansion element.

  • Patent number: 12251321
    Abstract: A joint spacer for therapeutically maintains separation of bones of a joint. A frame defines a longitudinal axis extending between distal and proximal ends. A carriage is slideably retained within the frame and has at least one ramped surface and a threaded portion. An actuator screw is threadably engaged with the threaded portion, and bears against said frame to cause the carriage to slideably move within the frame when the actuator screw is rotated. A first endplate engages a bone of the joint, and has at least one ramped surface that is mateable with the ramped surface of the carriage.

  • Patent number: 12251500
    Abstract: An embodiment includes a process for treating an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) endoleak with a shape memory polymer (SMP) foam device. First, a bifurcated stent graft is placed within the aneurysm while a micro guidewire is positioned within the aneurysm for future catheter access. Second, after placing the iliac graft extension, a catheter is introduced over wire to deliver embolic foams. Third, embolic foams expand and conform to the aneurysm wall. Fourth, embolic foams create a stable thrombus to prevent endoleak formation by isolating peripheral vessels from the aneurysm volume.

  • Publication number: 20250088836
    Abstract: A first access point (AP) of an AP multi-link device (MLD) is associated with a first communication link, and one or more secondary APs of the AP MLD are associated with one or more respective secondary communication links of the AP MLD. The first AP of the AP MLD generates a frame including a first change sequence field and one or more secondary change sequence fields. The first change sequence field indicates a presence or absence of a critical update associated with the first communication link, and each of the one or more secondary change sequence fields indicates a presence or absence of a critical update associated with a corresponding secondary communication link of the AP MLD. The first AP of the AP MLD transmits the frame over the first communication link of the AP MLD to a station (STA) of a STA MLD.
