  • Patent number: 11969353
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to prosthesis systems having trays and liners having an asymmetrical locking mechanism to bias the strength of the liner to resist loading forces and associated methods. The tray has a lateral groove disposed in an inner surface of a lateral circumferential portion of the tray and a medial groove disposed in an inner surface of a medial circumferential portion of the tray. The liner has an upper segment and a lower segment. The liner has a locking portion for lockingly engaging the tray that includes the lower segment. The locking portion has a lateral toe positioned generally diametrically opposite a plurality of resiliently deformable medial fingers defined therein. The liner and the tray are engageable in a lateral-to-medial direction so that the plurality of medial fingers can resiliently deform to engage the medial groove subsequent to engagement of the lateral toe within the lateral groove.

  • Publication number: 20230255134
    Abstract: Systems and methods for predictive management of plants. Agricultural (and natural resource) managers may have a multitude of data sets and data sources available, but often lack a meaningful or proven way to assimilate all available data and then conclusively select actions. For example, a vineyard manager may be able to collect data about local and regional weather, precipitation, disease prevalence, insect prevalence, pesticide use, crop varietal, cover crop selection and many other inputs to a predictive machine-learning vineyard management engine. As all this data is collected through local devices and third-party services, a prediction model may be used to determine specific outcomes or recommended actions based on the trained predictive model. For example, the model may be used to predict optimal harvest date, disease spread and vector spread, pest spread and impact, best pesticide use, irrigation plans, fruit quality, and the like.

  • Publication number: 20220389517
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for predicting a risk of developing cancer. DNA samples were prepared from blood and cancer tissues of 2480 cancer patients and analyzed for the nucleotide sequences of exon regions using NGS. As a result, among the cancer patients, 7 patients were confirmed to have D49H mutation or A159D mutation which is a germ cell mutation.

  • Patent number: 10641773
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for collecting highly accurate data for diagnosis, useful in diagnosing the presence or absence of extrahepatic bile duct carcinoma, intrahepatic bile duct carcinoma, or gallbladder carcinoma, and a kit for diagnosis. When the concentration of CEACAM1 in a blood sample collected from a test subject is detected using a kit for diagnosis comprising an antibody specifically binding to CEACAM1 or a labeled product thereof, or the like and the CEACAM1 concentration is higher than the concentration of CEACAM1 in a blood sample derived from a non-carcinoma control subject or higher than a certain threshold value (cutoff value), data can be collected for diagnosing the test subject as having a high possibility of having extrahepatic bile duct carcinoma, intrahepatic bile duct carcinoma, or gallbladder carcinoma.
