  • Publication number: 20250150519
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods for processing a service request in a network comprising a set of Network Function (NF) nodes, and corresponding NF nodes. The method performed at a first NF node includes transmitting (S710) a request for the service to a Service Communication Proxy (SCP), the request comprising at least an indication indicating a required Application Program Interface (API) version for the service, wherein the requires API version is other than an API version included in a Resource Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) in the request. The present disclosure further discloses a corresponding method implemented at an SCP. The present disclosure further provides a corresponding computer readable medium.

  • Publication number: 20250141776
    Abstract: There is provided a method for handling messages in a network. The method is performed by a first network function (NF) node in the network. Transmission of a first message is initiated (202) towards a second NF node in the network in response to an event that signals first information is to be managed by a third NF node in the network. The first message comprises the first information and an indication of whether the third N node is to be an N node that supports testing in the network. The first message comprises the indication for the third NF node to take into account when managing the first information.

  • Patent number: 12288186
    Abstract: A method for automatically creating an equipment inventory from a plurality of images of a site. The method includes receiving, by a processor, the plurality of images of the site, labeling, by the processor, equipment present in each image of the plurality of images of the site, creating, by the processor, an overlap curve for neighboring images of the plurality of images of the site, determining, by the processor, a useful image of each side of the site based on the overlap curve, the useful image including a subset of the plurality of images, creating, by the processor, an overlay of equipment in the useful image of each side of the site, counting, by the processor, equipment present in the overlay of each side of the site, and generating, by the processor, the equipment inventory by adding a number of equipment counted in the overlay of each side of the site.

  • Publication number: 20250099588
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions and methods for the treatment of cancers using modified TILs, wherein the modified TILs include one or more immunomodulatory agents (e.g., cytokines) associated with their cell surface. The immunomodulatory agents associated with the TILs provide a localized immunostimulatory effect that can advantageously enhance TIL survival, proliferation and/or anti-tumor activity in a patient recipient. As such, the compositions and methods disclosed herein provide effective cancer therapies.

  • Publication number: 20250101380
    Abstract: A method of expanding tumor infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) into a therapeutic population of TILs may include the steps of: (a) obtaining and/or receiving a first population of TILs from surgical resection, needle biopsy, core biopsy, small biopsy, or other means for obtaining a sample that contains a mixture of tumor and TIL cells from a cancer in the subject or patient; performing an initial expansion (or priming first expansion) of the first population of TILs in the first cell culture medium to obtain a second population of TILs, wherein the first cell culture medium comprises IL-2, optionally OKT-3 (anti-CD3 antibody), and optionally antigen presenting cells (APCs), performing a rapid second expansion of the second population of TILs in a second cell culture medium to obtain a third population of TILs; wherein the second cell culture medium comprises IL-2, OKT-3 (anti-CD3 antibody), and APCs; harvesting the third population of TILs; and genetically modifying TILs at any time prior to step (d) or after st

  • Patent number: 12241322
    Abstract: A method of detecting wear of a downhole tool implemented in a subject wellbore includes receiving offset wellbore data for one or more offset wellbores and, based on the offset wellbore data, determining an expected downhole tool index for the downhole tool at one or more measurement depths including an active measurement depth of the subject wellbore. The method further includes receiving subject wellbore data and, based on the subject wellbore data, determining a subject downhole tool index in real time for the downhole tool at the active measurement depth. The method further includes determining the wear of the downhole tool based on comparing the subject downhole tool index to the expected downhole tool index at the active measurement depth in real time.

  • Publication number: 20250066294
    Abstract: A method for obtaining ionic compounds of formula I involves two-steps carried out in a one-pot manner and includes reaction of a N-(sulfinyl)sulfonamide of formula R1SO2N?S?O with a sulphonamide salt of formula R2SO2N(M)m, followed by oxidation of the resulting compound. The method has several advantages compared to previous methods to access sulfonimides, including a short sequence of steps, short reaction time, avoidance of environmentally-unfriendly reagents (including CF3SiMe3), improved atom-economy, milder conditions, as well as the ability to synthesize a broad range of salts.

  • Patent number: 12209948
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of building an optimized color flow cytometry panel is disclosed using a full spectrum flow cytometer with five excitation lasers and five corresponding detection modules. In another embodiment, a graphical user interface is disclosed generated by a server computer from a fluorochrome database and displayed by a client computer to assist in the selection of a set of fluorochromes for use in an assay to analyze biological samples. The GUI can display spectra graphs to visually show how fluorochromes may overlap and can generate similarity indexes for the paired fluorochrome interference and a complexity index for overall many to many interferences generated by a selected group or set of fluorochromes.
