Publication number: 20240144135Abstract: Apparatus, system and method for a predictive risk manager for managing a supply chain comprising a plurality of supply chain nodes. Included in a risk manager are: a managing central hub comprising a plurality of primary data regarding anonymized hardware and software product data from the plurality of supply chain nodes, and life cycle data for all parts employed at the plurality of supply chain nodes; an input to the managing central hub comprising current proprietary data regarding a product made at one of the plurality of supply chain nodes; a plurality of rules capable of recognizing a predictive non-competitive part related risk embedded in the proprietary data, the plurality of rules calculating a recommended redesign to address the predictive non-competitive part related risk before it arises; and an output from the managing central hub to a graphical user interface, wherein the non-competitive part related risk and the recommended redesign are presented on the graphical user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2022Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: JENNIFER FOSTER, JEFF MILLER, ERIN DUNLOP, ANDY JOYNER

Patent number: 11826187Abstract: Systems and methods that directly image attenuation-based object grid, use a source grid to improve imaging of the object grid using a high-energy polychromatic source, and use a detector grid having gratings oriented substantially orthogonally to that of the object grid, can address artifacts and beam hardening effects that limit the quality and discriminatory power of high-energy x-ray imaging that includes phase contrast.Type: GrantFiled: March 20, 2020Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Erin A. Miller, Richard E. Jacob, Nikhil S. Deshmukh, Cynthia L. Warner, Richard S. Wittman, Luke W. Campbell

Patent number: 11826388Abstract: Compositions, systems and methods of improving the health of the microbiome of an individual's skin relate to the provision of skin contacting formulations containing beneficial bacteria and other microbe components to foster the growth and maintenance of a healthy skin microbiome. A topical application of Lactobacillus crispatus is employed to ameliorate skin barrier damage and inflammation using unique combinations of probiotics, prebiotics, and other skin-beneficial ingredients, effectively treating inflammatory skin diseases, such as atopic dermatitis, psoriasis and acne. The topical application of Lactobacillus crispatus to an individual's skin reduces inflammation through the production of tryptophan metabolites that act as AHR agonists.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2022Date of Patent: November 28, 2023Assignee: Seed Health, Inc.Inventors: Sheri Simmons, Shanthi Parkar, Erin A. Miller, Joseph E. Kovarik

Patent number: 11639903Abstract: Method include emitting x-rays from an x-ray source, directing a first portion of the x-rays through an object grating situated adjacent to an object while the object is scanned relative to the object grating along a scan direction, directing a second portion of the x-rays through the object and subsequently through a detector grating without transmitting through the object grating, wherein the object grating and detector grating are adjacently arranged in a field of view of the x-rays sequentially with respect to each other in the scan direction, and receiving the first portion transmitted through the object and object grating with a first portion of a detector and receiving the second portion transmitted through the object and the detector grating with a second portion of the detector adjacent to the first portion of the detector. Systems are also disclosed, along with related techniques for beam hardening correction.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2021Date of Patent: May 2, 2023Assignee: Battelle Memorial InstituteInventors: Erin A. Miller, Richard E. Jacob, Nikhil S. Deshmukh, Cynthia L. Warner, Richard S. Wittman, Luke W. Campbell, Dustin M. Kasparek, Andy Gilbert, Stanley L. Owsley, Jr., Kurt L. Silvers, Mital A. Zalavadia

Publication number: 20220374421Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer storage media for processing search queries using item-based search refinement are provided. In response to a search query, search result items are displayed on a search interface. The search result items each have an associated item-specific control having embedded selectable hierarchical category classifications. Upon selecting an item-specific control, the item-specific control is displayed. A selection of an embedded hierarchical category classification is received to cause execution of an embedded-item search operation. An embedded-item search operation is executed to identify a subset of the items using the selected hierarchical category classification. The associated item-specific control further has embedded selectable attributes. A selection of an embedded attribute is further received to cause execution of the embedded-item search operation.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2022Publication date: November 24, 2022Inventors: Jonathan David Chard, Erin Miller, Tyler Yong Nugent, Yihung Lee, Benjamin Blechman, Brian Wayne Davis
