  • Patent number: 11759519
    Abstract: A system and method for hyperthermic ablation of cancerous tissue of a human patient is disclosed. A system and method include a vessel that is sized and adapted for receiving the human patient, and a circulation device outside of the vessel for circulating a thermally conductive liquid to and from the vessel, such that the portion of the human patient enclosed in the containment suit is at least partially submerged in the thermally conductive liquid when the human patient is in the vessel. The system and method further include a set of electromagnetic transmission coils at least partially around the vessel for inducing an alternating electromagnetic field around the human patient, the alternating electromagnetic field being directed, via the thermally conductive liquid, to the cancerous tissue that has been provided a conductive nanoparticle, to provide hyperthermic ablation of the cancerous tissue.

  • Publication number: 20220020450
    Abstract: A condition can be diagnosed based on a symptom experienced by a subject and based on a biological sample including nucleic acids. Based on the symptom, a first set of the nucleic acids can be preselected for analysis. A first plurality of the nucleic acids of the first set that are present in the first biological sample can be captured. For each of the captured nucleic acids of the first plurality, an amount of that captured nucleic acid that is present in the first biological sample can be quantified and sequenced and based on the sequence of that captured nucleic acid, an origin of that captured nucleic acid can be identified. An indication can be output of the quantified amount and the identified origin of at least one captured nucleic acid that is present in the first biological sample.

  • Patent number: 9615476
    Abstract: This disclosure relates generally to an apparatus and/or system for housing a device. The apparatus includes a housing that is configured such that a device may be fitted within the housing and thereby be protected, such as from shocks and/or liquid. The housing may include top and bottom members that may be removably coupled together so as to form the housing. Each top and bottom member includes a perimeter portion. The perimeter is defined by proximal and distal ends as well as opposing sides. The top and bottom members may include respective clasping mechanisms that extend along the perimeter of the top and bottom members and may be configured for engaging a third clasping mechanism, such as a locking comb or wedge feature. The clasping mechanisms are configured for coupling the top and bottom members with one another thereby sealing the housing, for instance, in a shock-proof and/or water tight seal.
