In one embodiment, a position of the energy application device relative to the predetermined treatment position is determined. In one embodiment, a total dose of ultrasound energy applied to the region of interest is determined.

Abstract: This invention relates to methods of screening for anti-PACAP antibodies, or anti-PACAP receptor antibodies, and antigen binding fragments thereof, for potential use in treating or preventing PACAP-associated photophobia or light aversion, and therapeutic compositions containing and methods of using anti-PACAP antibodies, or anti-PACAP receptor antibodies, and antigen binding fragments thereof.

Abstract: Generally described, one or more aspects of the present application correspond to systems and techniques for spectral imaging using a multi-aperture system with curved multi-bandpass filters positioned over each aperture. The present disclosure further relates to techniques for implementing spectral unmixing and image registration to generate a spectral datacube using image information received from such imaging systems. Aspects of the present disclosure relate to using such a datacube to analyze the imaged object, for example to analyze tissue in a clinical setting, perform biometric recognition, or perform materials analysis.

Abstract: A processing system including at least one processor may obtain a first ontology of a first type of data pipeline component, map the first ontology to a second ontology for a second type of data pipeline component that is stored in a catalog of data pipeline component types, provide a second data schema for the second type of data pipeline component as a template for a first data schema for the first type of data pipeline component, and add the first type of data pipeline component to the catalog of data pipeline component types, where the adding comprises storing the first ontology and the first data schema for the first type of data pipeline component in the catalog of data pipeline component types.

Abstract: Compounds are provided as inhibitors of CXCR2, having the structure:

Abstract: Machine learning systems and methods are disclosed for prediction of wound healing, such as for diabetic foot ulcers or other wounds, and for assessment implementations such as segmentation of images into wound regions and non-wound regions. Systems for assessing or predicting wound healing can include a light detection element configured to collect light of at least a first wavelength reflected from a tissue region including a wound, and one or more processors configured to generate an image based on a signal from the light detection element having pixels depicting the tissue region, determine reflectance intensity values for at least a subset of the pixels, determine one or more quantitative features of the subset of the plurality of pixels based on the reflectance intensity values, and generate a predicted or assessed healing parameter associated with the wound over a predetermined time interval.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof having binding specificity for PACAP. The antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof comprise the sequences of the VH, VL, and CDR polypeptides described herein, and the polynucleotides encoding them. Antibodies and antigen binding fragments described herein bind to and/or compete for binding to the same linear or conformational epitope(s) on human PACAP as an anti-PACAP antibody. The invention contemplates conjugates of anti-PACAP antibodies and binding fragments thereof conjugated to one or more functional or detectable moieties. Methods of making said anti-PACAP antibodies and antigen binding fragments thereof are also contemplated.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method receives a portion of a bundle of preview images for a video being played and starts to decode the portion of the bundle of preview images. An input is received for a location in the video. The method determines if a preview image corresponding to the location has been decoded from the bundle of preview images. When the preview image corresponding to the location has been decoded, the preview image corresponding to the location is displayed. When the preview image corresponding to the location has not been decoded, the method switches from decoding the portion of the bundle of preview images at a first position to decoding the portion of the bundle of preview images at a second position corresponding to the location.

Abstract: Disclosed are a device and a system for warning a driver of an incoming back and lateral vehicle. The device or system captures a wide-angle 180-degree image of view behind a driver's shoulders to analyze and classify the image through a machine learning technique and determine whether there is a potential threat to the driver. If there is a threat, the device or system will warn the driver, thus improving the driver's safety dramatically. Moreover, Darknet is used to provide a faster response in the prediction of threats through image processing and classification.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method sends a request for a bundle of preview images for a video to a server. The video is played and a portion of the bundle of preview images for the video is received. The method decodes the portion of the bundle of preview images before the entire bundle of preview images is received. Then, an input from a user for a location in the video is received and the method determines if a preview image corresponding to the location has been decoded from the bundle of preview images. When the image corresponding to the location has been decoded, the preview image corresponding to the location is displayed as a preview image.
