Publication number: 20240070202Abstract: A computer-implemented technique is described herein for assisting a user in advancing a task objective. The technique uses a suggestion-generating system (SGS) to provide one or more suggestions to a user in response to at least a last-submitted query provided by the user. The SGS may correspond to a classification-type or generative-type neural network. The SGS uses a machine-trained model that is trained using a multi-task training framework based on plural groups of training examples, which, in turn, are produced using different respective example-generating methods. One such example-generating method constructs a training example from queries in a search session. It operates by identifying the task-related intent the queries, and then identifying at least one sequence of queries in the search session that exhibits a coherent task-related intent. A training example is constructed based on queries in such a sequence.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 7, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Corby Louis ROSSET, Chenyan XIONG, Paul Nathan BENNETT, Saurabh Kumar TIWARY, Daniel Fernando CAMPOS, Xia SONG, Nicholas Eric CRASWELL

Publication number: 20220074075Abstract: According to an embodiment of the disclosure, a method of creating an object with a conduit is disclosed. A material is deposited on a sacrificial collector; and, the sacrificial collector is then removed to create the object with the conduit. Both the object and the sacrificial collector can approximate the shape of desired blood vessel. The method can also include a 3-D printing of the desired shape of the mold and utilization of Gallium as the sacrificial collector. The sacrificial object is created by insertion of the gallium in the mold. After removal of the gallium from the mold, fibers are electrospun onto the gallium. The gallium is removed through melting—leaving a scaffold, the object with the conduit. In addition to the gallium, an extra sacrificial layer of a water-soluble material may be utilized.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2021Publication date: March 10, 2022Applicant: Frontier Bio CorporationInventor: Eric Bennett

Publication number: 20220032028Abstract: A device can include a capsule containing an array of microneedles and a mechanical actuator. The device can be in an ingestible form for delivery to a duodenum or other target location within a subject and can release the mechanical actuator from constraint by the capsule in response to stimuli or conditions in or en route to the duodenum or other target location. The mechanical actuator upon release from constraint by the capsule can expand outwardly (e.g., responsive to a bias provided by a flexibly resilient material of the mechanical actuator) in a direction away from a central longitudinal axis of the mechanical actuator and drive the array of microneedles into penetrating engagement with a lining of the duodenum or other target location. The penetrating engagement can facilitate delivery of a biotherapeutic agent or other payload via the microneedles.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2021Publication date: February 3, 2022Applicant: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Eric Bennett, Kimberly Kam, Martin Sheridan, Annapurna Karicherla, Kassidy MacPhail

Patent number: 11229749Abstract: A dosage measurement system is adapted to receive a motion from a dosage injection mechanism disposed within a drug injection pen. The dosage measurement system includes a substrate, a sensing capacitor disposed on the substrate, and a lifting tab. The sensing capacitor includes a dielectric layer disposed between a base plate and an adjustable plate. The lifting tab is attached to the adjustable plate and positioned to engage an undulation pattern disposed on a component attached to the dosage injection mechanism. The lifting tab is adapted to physically change a separation distance between the adjustable plate and the base plate in a reciprocal manner in response to the motion of the dosage injection mechanism and engagement with the undulation pattern. A capacitance of the sensing capacitor changes in response to the engagement of the lifting tab with the undulation pattern and the motion of the dosage injection mechanism.Type: GrantFiled: September 3, 2019Date of Patent: January 25, 2022Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: William Biederman, Louis Jung, Sean Frick, Benjamin Collins, Eric Bennett
