Patent number: 12283387Abstract: A system and method for producing radioisotopes such as molybdenum-99. The system comprises a first accelerator, a second accelerator, a first beamline, a second beamline, and a target. Using a pair of accelerators, beamlines are preferably fired at a target from opposite directions, thereby irradiating the target from both sides. The system can further comprise a target cooling system utilizing gaseous helium, a modular local target shielding comprised of boxes of either metal shot with liquid coolant or steel with concrete, and a hot cell for loading and unloading target disks.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2021Date of Patent: April 22, 2025Assignee: Northstar Medical Technologies, LLCInventors: James T. Harvey, Rimas S. Milunas, Daniel E. Peltier, Sarah M. Burns, James L. McCarter, Tomas A. Montenegro, Jason M. Schlough, Maxwell J. Brennan, Quintin G. Schiller

Patent number: 12211601Abstract: Methods comprising an integrated, multiscale artificial intelligence-based system that reconstructs drug-specific pharmacogenomic networks and their constituent functional sub-networks are described. The system uses features of the functional topology of the three-dimensional architecture of drug-modulated spatial contacts in chromatin space. Discovery of a drug pharmacogenomic network is made through the selection of candidate SNPs by imputation, determination of the predicted causality of the SNPs using machine learning and deep learning, use of the causal SNPs to probe the spatial genome as determined by chromosome conformation capture analysis, combining targeted genes controlled by the same cell and tissue-specific enhancers, and reconstruction of the pharmacogenomic network using diverse data sources and metrics based on the results of genome-wide association studies.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2021Date of Patent: January 28, 2025Assignee: REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGANInventors: Brian D.

Patent number: 12176087Abstract: Methods for identifying patients diagnosed with treatment resistant or refractory depression, pain or other clinical indications who are eligible to receive N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor antagonist, glycine receptor beta (GLRB) modulator, or ?-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptor (AMPAR)-based therapies to include determining the appropriate medication, an optimal dose for each patient, and determining which patients are not eligible to receive the therapy. The pharmacogenomic clinical decision support assays include targeted single nucleotide polymorphisms and clinical values or a combination of targeted single nucleotide polymorphisms, targeted ketamine-specific expansion and contraction of topologically associated domains, and clinical values.

Patent number: 10867702Abstract: For patients who exhibit or may exhibit primary or comorbid disease, pharmacological phenotypes may be predicted through the collection of panomic data over a period of time. A machine learning engine may generate a statistical model based on training data from training patients to predict pharmacological phenotypes, including drug response and dosing, drug adverse events, disease and comorbid disease risk, drug-gene, drug-drug, and polypharmacy interactions. Then the model may be applied to data for new patients to predict their pharmacological phenotypes, and enable decision making in clinical and research contexts, including drug selection and dosage, changes in drug regimens, polypharmacy optimization, monitoring, etc., to benefit from additional predictive power, resulting in adverse event and substance abuse avoidance, improved drug response, better patient outcomes, lower treatment costs, public health benefits, and increases in the effectiveness of research in pharmacology and other biomedical fields.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2019Date of Patent: December 15, 2020Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGANInventors: Brian D.

Patent number: 10100635Abstract: A system for downhole telemetry is provided herein. The system employs a series of communications nodes spaced along a tubular body in a wellbore. Each communications node is associated with a sensor that senses data indicative of a formation condition or a wellbore parameter along a subsurface formation. The data is stored in memory until a logging tool is run into the wellbore. The data is transmitted from the respective communications nodes to a receiver in the logging tool. The data is then transferred to the surface. A method of transmitting data in a wellbore is also provided herein. The method uses a logging tool to harvest data in a wellbore from a plurality of sensor communications nodes.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2013Date of Patent: October 16, 2018Assignee: ExxonMobil Upstream Research CompanyInventors: Stuart R.
