Patent number: 11957736Abstract: The present invention concerns the use of aprotic polar solvents, water, and an ionization stabilizing agent to prepare device compatible stable therapeutic formulations by dissolving a therapeutic agent (active ingredient) in an aprotic polar solvent system that can then be used with various devices (e.g., pumps, infusion sets) for administration of the formulation. In certain embodiments, the invention is directed to formulations comprising one or more therapeutic agents, as well as methods of making such formulations, comprising at least one therapeutic agent dissolved in an aprotic polar solvent system, such as a DMSO/water admixture, comprising at least one ionization stabilizing excipient in a concentration sufficient to impart physical and chemical stability to the therapeutic agent.Type: GrantFiled: February 13, 2023Date of Patent: April 16, 2024Assignee: Xeris Pharmaceuticals, inc.Inventors: Martin Donovan, Wendy Hu

Publication number: 20240078961Abstract: Systems and methods are described herein to control brightness based on image content or other inputs to a display system. A dual-control system may integrate both slow control operations and fast control operations into a cohesive brightness management system. By using both shorter-term (e.g., fast control) and longer-term (e.g., slow control) brightness adjustment operations, the electronic device may quickly respond to high luminance and high brightness situations that may cause burn-in into the display, image artifacts, or other damage. Responding quickly to these high consumption situations may prevent damage or perceivable upset to an ongoing process, among other benefits.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 6, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Wanqing Xin, Yang Xu, Mohammad Ali Jangda, Jenny Hu, Koorosh Aflatooni, Giovanni Corradini, Martin Kocicka, Alexey Kornienko, Asha G Karvaje, Aishwarya Prem Renu, Andrew D Pangborn, Chaohao Wang, Yingying Tang, Arthur L Spence, Mahesh B Chappalli

Patent number: 11915412Abstract: A cortical malformation identification method includes quantitatively evaluating, using a processor of a computer that includes the processor and a memory, digital image data from a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan on a cerebral cortex to produce quantified scan data. The method also includes automatically detecting a cortical malformation based on the quantified scan data. An image of the cerebral cortex may be color-coded so that the cortical malformation is shown in a different color than the remainder of the cerebral cortex in the image, based on the quantified scan data. Additionally or alternatively, a 3-dimensional representation of the cerebral cortex may be mapped to the quantified scan data to produce a mapped image of the cerebral cortex including the detected cortical malformation.Type: GrantFiled: January 3, 2018Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Lyubomir Georgiev Zagorchev, Fabien Wenzel, Martin Bergtholdt, Houchun Hu, Jeffrey Miller, Carsten Meyer

Patent number: 11915699Abstract: Systems and methods for account data association with voice interface devices are disclosed. For example, when a host user/primary user and guest user have consented for account data to be associated with the primary user's devices, a request to associate the account data may be received. Voice and device-based authentication may be performed to confirm the identity of the guest user and the guest user's account data may be associated with the primary user's devices. During a guest session, voice recognition may be utilized to determine if a given user utterance is from the guest user or the primary user, and actions may be performed by the voice interface device accordingly.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Szymon Grzegorz Trapp, Martin Patrick Butler, Manikanta Babu Karanam, Nicholas Jeffrey Anderson, Boya Hu, Zhengyang Wu, Fnu Palak, James Marlotte

Patent number: 9778391Abstract: Radiation scanning systems providing multiple views of an object in different planes and a reconstruction algorithm for reconstructing quasi-three-dimensional images from a limited number of views. A system may include bend magnets to direct accelerated charged particles to multiple targets in different viewing locations. Another system collimates radiation generated by a plurality of radiation sources into multiple beams for scanning an object at multiple angles. The object may be a cargo container, for example. The reconstruction algorithm uses an optimization algorithm and imaging and feasibility models to reconstruct quasi-three-dimensional images from the limited number of views.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2014Date of Patent: October 3, 2017Assignee: VAREX IMAGING CORPORATIONInventors: Gongyin Chen, Kevin Holt, Robert E.

Publication number: 20070133629Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method and system for providing a three-level current scheme to a semiconductor laser to control beam wavelength and laser temperature. A first current is received into a gain section of the semiconductor laser and at least one other current is received into a DBR and/or phase section of the semiconductor laser. This other current(s) is pulse-width modulated based upon a required temperature value. An output beam is generated by the semiconductor laser based upon the received first current and the received pulse-width modulated current(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2005Publication date: June 14, 2007Inventors: Martin Hu, Nobuhiko Nishiyama, Chung-En Zah

Publication number: 20060159139Abstract: Both a system and method are provided for modulating the intensity of an output beam generated by semiconductor laser. The exemplary system includes a source of pulsating current connected to the laser that generates a pulsating beam of laser light, an external modulator having an input that receives the pulsating beam, and an output controlled by pulsating control signal, wherein the output beam transmitted by the external modulator output is modulated by changing a relative phase angle between the pulsating current powering the laser, and the control signal of the external modulator over time. The external modulator may be an intensity-type modulator whose output is controlled by a gate signal having a constant phase, and the source of pulsating current powering the laser may be variable phase in order to modulate the output beam with an external modulator having a simple structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 8, 2005Publication date: July 20, 2006Inventors: Martin Hu, Nobuhiko Nishiyama, Chung-En Zah
