  • Publication number: 20260090841
    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems and/or methods are provided. In some examples, one or more images of a brain of a patient may be received. One or more anatomic landmarks in the one or more images may be determined. A hemorrhage region in the one or more images may be identified. A normalized hemorrhage map indicative of the hemorrhage region may be generated based upon the one or more anatomic landmarks and the hemorrhage region in the one or more images. A spatial representation of the hemorrhage region may be generated based upon a comparison of the normalized hemorrhage map to a dissimilarity heat map. A treatment plan for the patient may be determined based upon the spatial representation of the hemorrhage region.

  • Publication number: 20180365138
    Abstract: An example device comprises a processor to execute a test plan obtained from a user of a user network; and a test platform having a pool of selected virtualized resources based on the test plan. The pool of virtualized resources can include virtualization of at least one cloud-based resource and at least one non-cloud resource, where the virtualization of the at least one non-cloud resource comprises virtualizing a resource from the user network.

  • Patent number: 9304103
    Abstract: An ion meter is calibrated by providing two ISFETS with different areas, where the two gate areas are used to calibrate the two ISFETS with respect to one another. The use of two ISFET gates that can be calibrated with respect to one another eliminates the need for an ion meter to be recalibrated before every use, and allows the ion meter to measure the concentration in the solution over an extended period of time.

  • Publication number: 20130084214
    Abstract: An ion concentration meter measures a concentration of an ion in a solution by exposing both an ISFET gate and a reference electrode within a filtered test area. In preferred embodiments, the test area filters preferred compounds from a solution being tested by occluding an opening to the test area with a species-selective membrane. Contemplated species-selective membranes include silicate membranes, chalcogenide membranes, lanthanum fluoride membranes, and valinomycin membranes.

  • Patent number: 8316985
    Abstract: The present invention provides methods and devices for the abatement of noise emanating from surgically created abdominal stomas. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a sound abatement device for an abdominal stoma. The device includes a noise suppressor formed of sound dampening material, which defines an opening and cavity suitable in size and shape for receiving and enveloping a stoma formed through a body wall of an individual. The device further includes a support arm extending from the noise suppressor, which includes a first end connected to the noise suppressor and a second end disposed opposite thereof. The device further includes a base member disposed proximate the second end of the support arm, which includes an attachment for connection to an individual. The device also includes an attachment feature for releasable attachment of the second end of the support arm to the base.

  • Publication number: 20100109243
    Abstract: A three-dimensional version of the popular Sudoku game is disclosed which may include a game board having a plurality of two-dimensional matrices disposed thereon. Each of the two-dimensional matrices may have a plurality of positions for entering solutions. The game board may further specify an ordered layering for the plurality of the two-dimensional matrices such that the plurality of two-dimensional matrices may be conceptualized as a three-dimensional structure. Correct solutions for the positions of the two-dimensional matrices must be satisfied in three-dimensions in accordance with the three-dimensional structure.

  • Patent number: 5902181
    Abstract: An air flow diverter valve assembly that includes a housing provided with an air inlet opening and at least a pair of air outlet openings one of which is located in the upper wall of the housing and in which a diverter valve is rotatably supported in the housing for movement between positions which allow the air to flow through one or the other of the air outlet openings. The diverter valve includes a pair of laterally spaced end walls each of which has the general shape of a triangle and has first and second angularly spaced and intersecting edges interconnected by a peripheral edge.
