  • Publication number: 20260179372
    Abstract: A system develops classifiers that can aid medical professionals by diagnosing whether or not a patient has a medical condition like pneumothorax. The system breaks the task into multiple steps, using YOLOv4 to extract relevant regions of the video and a 3D sparse coding model to represent video features. Given the difficulty in acquiring positive training videos, the inventors trained a small-data classifier with a maximum of 15 positive and 32 negative examples. To counteract this limitation, the inventors leveraged subject matter expert (SME) knowledge to limit the hypothesis space, thus reducing the cost of data collection. The inventors present results using two lung ultrasound datasets and demonstrate that the inventors' model is capable of achieving performance on par with SMEs in pneumothorax identification.

  • Publication number: 20250289622
    Abstract: A fishhook carrying device has a resilient prismatic block, of which two adjacent faces are cut into by at least one set of spaced grooves extending along a longest dimension thereof. Two opposite parallel grooveless faces thereof abut two rigid exterior walls, which, along with a connecting bottom wall, form a unitary box structure. Rigid exterior walls of either side of the box structure maintain the prismatic block in a compressed form such that interior walls of each groove are pressed against each other in a first resting condition. When a flange is inserted into a pressed groove, the interior walls of the groove resiliently separate and thereafter abut the flange, frictionally holding the flange in place. The interior groove walls return to the first resting condition upon removal of the flange from the device.

  • Publication number: 20250200218
    Abstract: Access to sensitive information in a database can be restricted to improve security and enable efficient auditing. A security engine receives a request from a requesting entity to access data in the database and determines that the requested data includes sensitive information. In response to the requesting entity being authorized to access the data, the security engine retrieves the requested data from the database and modifies the retrieved data by modifying metadata of the retrieved data to include a tag indicating that the retrieved data includes sensitive information. The security engine provides the modified data to the requesting entity and modifies a data access log to identify each attempted access to the modified data. When sensitive data is requested, an interface can include an obscuring element, requiring a user to manually select the element to view the data, enabling the logging of the explicit access request by the user.

  • Patent number: 12297234
    Abstract: This invention relates to the field of genetic engineering. Specifically, the invention relates to the construction of operons to produce biologically active agents. For example, operons may be constructed to produce agents that control the function of biochemical pathway proteins (e.g., protein phosphatases, kinases and/or proteases). Such agents may include inhibitors and modulators that may be used in studying or controlling phosphatase function associated with abnormalities in a phosphatase pathway or expression level. Fusion proteins, such as light activated protein phosphatases, may be genetically encoded and expressed as photoswitchable phosphatases. Systems are provided for use in controlling phosphatase function within living cells or in identifying small molecule inhibitors/activator/modulator molecules of protein phosphatases associated with cell signaling.
