Patent number: 11403718Abstract: Systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media can generate individual feature data for each user of a plurality of users. A first cohort comprising a first plurality of users is generated, wherein the first plurality of users are selected from the plurality of users based on the individual feature data. A first set of cohort feature data associated with the first cohort is generated based on individual feature data for the first plurality of users. The first set of cohort feature data and a first set of cohort membership information are transmitted to a modeler. The first set of cohort membership information identifies each user of the plurality of users.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2019Date of Patent: August 2, 2022Assignee: Meta Platforms, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Knox, Cameron Jones, Sanjay Kanaka Sai Tirupattur Saravanan, Toby Jonas F. Roessingh, Gad Alon

Patent number: 6625495Abstract: A probe insertable into a body cavity for applying an electrical stimulation to tissue therein includes a flexible hollow member of biocompatible material to enable the member to be inserted into the body cavity and to substantially conform to its inner surface, and thereby, to contact the tissue therein to be stimulated. A portion of the outer surface of the hollow member is electrically conductive to enable an electrical voltage to be applied thereto for electrically stimulating the tissue within the body cavity contacted by the electrically conductive surface. The probe may also include a transparent section and an optical sensor, such as an oximeter, for optically examining tissues within the body cavity.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2000Date of Patent: September 23, 2003Assignee: Medisox Israel Ltd.Inventors: Gad Alon, Avraham Cohen

Patent number: 5337757Abstract: A device is provided for registering and recording induced imbalance in a human subject. A horizontal platform is adapted for controlled, linear displacement in a horizontal plane to induce imbalance. Imbalance and response can be detected and recorded by means of electric contact shoes or other means.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 1993Date of Patent: August 16, 1994Assignee: Baltimore Therapeutic Equipment Co.Inventors: Sanjeev Jain, John E. Vermette, Richard Weber, Robert J. Doub, Gad Alon, Alan G. Day, III

Patent number: 5230703Abstract: A method is disclosed for promoting resolution of infection at an externally accessible wound site, such as a skin tear or ulcer, of a patient using antibiotic agents (normally comprising one or more antibiotic drugs) in combination with electrical stimulation. The antibiotic agents administered to the patient enter the blood stream of the patient, and the electrical stimulation is applied, while the antibiotic agents are in the blood stream, to the patient through one or more active electrodes to cause increased circulation of blood to the wound site to thereby enhance resolution of the infection at the wound site.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 1992Date of Patent: July 27, 1993Assignee: Staodyn, Inc.Inventor: Gad Alon

Patent number: 4888856Abstract: The invention relates to a process for rendering harmless sticky material adhering to cotton or cotton fibers, termed "honeydew". According to the process the cotton or cotton fibers is heated for a brief period of time to a temperature adequate to render said honeydew hard and brittle, and this without adversely affecting the cotton or cotton fibers. There are also provided means for effecting such treatment of the cotton fibers in a continuous manner.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 1987Date of Patent: December 26, 1989Assignee: The Shenkar College of Textile Technology and FashionInventors: Herzel B. Yescheskel, Gad Alon, Eliezer Beck
