Publication number: 20250107842Abstract: An energy source is offset from an elongate probe axis with an extension. The amount of offset of the energy source can be controlled by varying an amount of offset of the extension. The energy source rotated and translated at the offset distance to resect tissue. In some embodiments, the probe is configured to receive a second treatment probe comprising a second energy source, in which the second energy source is rotated and translated relative to the first treatment probe, which can improve positional accuracy and stability. The energy source and the extension can be coupled to a linkage to offset the energy source, and to translate and rotate the energy source with varying amounts of offset. The linkage can be coupled to a processor and one or more of the energy source moved in accordance with a treatment profile.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2024Publication date: April 3, 2025Applicant: PROCEPT BioRobotics CorporationInventors: Surag MANTRI, Kevin Patrick STAID, James Luis BADIA, Friedrich HO, Scott D.

Publication number: 20250025656Abstract: Aspects of the present technology comprise a positioning and stabilising structure to hold a seal-forming structure in a therapeutically effective position on a head of a patient. The seal-forming structure may be constructed and arranged to form a seal with a region of the patient's face surrounding an entrance to the patient's airways for sealed delivery of a flow of air at a therapeutic pressure of at least 4 cmH2O with respect to ambient air pressure throughout the patient's respiratory cycle in use. The positioning and stabilising structure may comprise at least one gas delivery tube to deliver the flow of air to the entrance of a patient's airways via the seal-forming structure. The positioning and stabilising structure may comprise an adjustment mechanism for adjustment of a length of the at least one gas delivery tube to enable the positioning and stabilising structure to fit different size heads.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 7, 2024Publication date: January 23, 2025Inventors: Michiel KOOIJ, Alexander Joel BENTLEY, Igor BESIC, Robert Thomas BURNHAM, Aaron Samuel DAVIDSON, Priyanshu GUPTA, Kirrily Michele HASKARD, Ryan Michael KIRKPATRICK, Luke Emmanuel KLINKENBERG, Dimitri Marco MAURER, Joseph Samuel ORMROD, Gerard Michael RUMMERY, Rupert Christian SCHEINER, Bishavjot SINGH, Christopher James SMITH, Lochlan VON MOGER, Paul Derrick WATSON, Daniel Marc WEISS, Hadley WHITE

Publication number: 20240257420Abstract: A data processing system implements techniques for automatically generating a presentation from a source document or a selection of a portion thereof. These techniques segment the document into a plurality of segments based on subject matter and transform those segments into textual content for slides for the presentation. The techniques also may selectively search for AI-generated and non-AI generated imagery to include in the slides for the presentation. These techniques provide safeguards for ensuring that AI-generated imagery is not utilized in instances in which such imagery would be inappropriate, misleading, or offensive. The techniques also provide means for user-specific control over when AI-generated imagery is utilized in the slides of an automatically generated presentation.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 30, 2023Publication date: August 1, 2024Applicant: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Chenguang YANG, Xuan LI, Peng QIN, Michael James BENTLEY, Michael Louis URCIUOLI

Patent number: 11757916Abstract: In some implementations, a method includes receiving an input domain name and generating a normalized domain name based on the input domain name. The normalized domain name including at least one of an internationalized domain name (IDNA) or a Unicode domain name that is converted from puny code characters in the input domain name. The method also includes determining whether the input domain name is excluded from domain impersonation analysis based on the normalized domain name and risk configuration data associated with an entity. In the event that the input domain name is not excluded from domain impersonation analysis, the method further includes calculating a confidence score representing a risk of domain impersonation to the entity, calculating the confidence score including at least one of: i) analyzing a typo-squat in the input domain name; or ii) analyzing a combo-squat in the input domain name.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2020Date of Patent: September 12, 2023Assignee: DIGITAL SHADOWS LTD.Inventors: Bryan Woolgar-O'Neil, Laura Elizabeth Aylward, Robert Alexander Campbell, Russell James Bentley, Thomas Edward Hoskin, Abhay Arvind Shete, Benjamin Raymond Gilbert, Georgios Louis Promponas, Thomas Arthur Wedge, Attila Szasz, Christos Rigas, James David Cockrill, Soyeb Moinuddin Shaikh
