  • Patent number: 12235273
    Abstract: Provided herein are compositions, systems, and methods for assessing and monitory disease stage and phases, predicting likelihood of disease progression, and predicting and monitoring responses to disease therapies (e.g., in HBV infection).
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 3, 2019
    Date of Patent: February 25, 2025
    Assignee: Abbott Laboratories
    Inventors: Gavin A. Cloherty, Mary Kuhns, Ka-Cheung Luk, Peter J. Karabatsos
  • Publication number: 20220180999
    Abstract: Implementations for adaptive context sensitive time division multiplexed scheduling and execution of tasks to be performed by a high frequency ablation system, such as an RF ablation system, are disclosed. The implementations may be effectuated in software, firmware, or both. Tasks may be categorized into categories corresponding to task priorities. Time blocks may be allocated during which execution of the tasks may be performed. The time blocks may be divided into time slots. A task may be assigned to a time slot based, at least in part, on a categorization priority of the task. Additionally, each task may be executed according to the schedule delineated by the time slots. An assignment of tasks to time slots may be adjusted based, at least in part, on data received at a high frequency ablation device of the high frequency ablation system.

  • Patent number: 5988013
    Abstract: In the operation of construction machines having multiple functions it has been a problem to provide a mounting arrangement for the levers that incorporates low lever effort operational detents without experiencing undue wear within the components. The present invention provides a mounting arrangement for a control lever that has a plurality of upraised ribs defined thereon in a preselected array. A plurality of grooves are positioned on an adjacent bearing member that are positioned to engage the upraised ribs in a first condition of the control lever. The control lever may be rotated out of engagement with the ribs to operate in a second condition while at the same time being engageable with a plurality of operational detents to provided feedback to an operator as to impending operational conditions.
