  • Patent number: 11986202
    Abstract: An endoluminal punch and introducer sheath are described wherein the endoluminal punch comprises a guidewire lumen through which a user is capable of placing a guidewire. The endoluminal punch system further comprises a mechanism affixed to the hub which is capable of controlling the axial positioning of the guidewire relative to the endoluminal punch distal end. The control mechanism can be released so that the endoluminal punch can be removed from a patient while retaining the guidewire in place within the patient. The endoluminal punch introducer, including a sheath and dilator, can comprise energy emitting electrodes or transducers for cutting larger size holes in stubborn (friable, scarred, or fibrotic) tissue. In other embodiments, the endoluminal punch can comprise a guidewire or stylet, wherein the guidewire or stylet is capable of emitting energy to cut through tissue.

  • Patent number: 11979494
    Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments include computer-implemented systems, devices, and processes that securely manage and regenerate cryptographic keys using permissioned distributed ledgers. For example, a device may receive, from a first computing system, data indicative of a recordation of a first public key onto a distributed ledger. Based on an occurrence of a regeneration condition, the device may transmit, to a second computing system, a second public key and a first digital signature, and the second computing system may validate the first digital signature, apply a second digital signature to the second public key, and transmit the second public key and the digital signatures to the first computing system. The device also receives, from the first computing system, additional data indicative of a recordation of the second public key onto the distributed ledger, and based on the additional data, the device may invalidate the first private key.

  • Publication number: 20240130753
    Abstract: A transvascularly placed steerable microcatheter, further including internal steerability and the ability to articulate in a direction at right angles to its longitudinal axis at or near its distal end. The steerable microcatheter is generally fabricated from stainless steel, nitinol, or other metal and includes an outer tube, an inner tube, hub structures, and a distal articulating region. The steerable microcatheter can be advanced through a body lumen in its straight configuration and then be selectively articulated or curved to permit negotiation of tortuous curvature. The microcatheter is especially suited to robotic or powered control applications with user intervention or using artificial intelligence (AI).

  • Patent number: 11968271
    Abstract: Systems and methods for sender profile and/or recipient profile disambiguation and/or confirmation are disclosed. In instances where a sender profile is not indicated by a user sending a communication from a communal device, heuristic data may be utilized to infer the sender profile. Similar heuristic data may also be used when selection of the sender profile is associated with a low confidence level. Heuristic data may also be used to infer the recipient profile when the user does not indicate the recipient profile or when selection of the recipient profile is associated with a low confidence. Various confirmations may result from the sender and recipient profile disambiguation.

  • Publication number: 20240108722
    Abstract: Provided herein are tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) engineered to express a membrane-bound interleukin 15 (mbIL15). The mbIL15 TILs can be expanded in vitro using arapid expansion protocol without the use of exogenous interleukin 2 (IL2) and can be used in adoptive cell therapy without concomitant use of an exogenous cytokine such as IL2. The TIL can be further engineered such that the mbIL15 is operably linked to one or more drug responsive domains (DRDs), polypeptides that can regulate the abundance and/or activity of the IL15 upon binding of the DRD with a ligand. Also provided herein are components for making the modified TILs and methods for making and using the modified TILs.

  • Publication number: 20240093692
    Abstract: A monitoring apparatus includes: input reception circuitry configured to receive a signal indicative of a characteristic of rotating assembly rotation; and bearing wear monitoring circuitry configured to analyze the signal characteristic of rotating assembly rotation. The bearing wear monitoring circuitry is also configured to identify one or more signal features indicative of bearing wear. Bearing wear produces variation in rolling friction of the bearing and therefore is one cause of variation in shaft torque. Aspects recognise that variations in shaft torque can be indirectly monitored, measured and/or determined by appropriate measurement or monitoring of operational characteristics of a pump motor and that it may be possible to distinguish variations in shaft torque which can be attributed to bearing wear from those variations in shaft torque caused by one or more other factors.
