Patent number: 11952592Abstract: Organs-on-chips are microfluidic devices for culturing living cells in micrometer sized chambers in order to model physiological functions of tissues and organs. Engineered patterning and continuous fluid flow in these devices has allowed culturing of intestinal cells bearing physiologically relevant features and sustained exposure to bacteria while maintaining cellular viability, thereby allowing study of inflammatory bowl diseases. However, existing intestinal cells do not possess all physiologically relevant subtypes, do not possess the repertoire of genetic variations, or allow for study of other important cellular actors such as immune cells. Use of iPSC-derived epithelium, including IBD patient-specific cells, allows for superior disease modeling by capturing the multi-faceted nature of the disease.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: EMULATE, INC.Inventors: S. Jordan Kerns, Norman Wen, Carol Lucchesi, Christopher David Hinojosa, Jacob Fraser, Jefferson Puerta, Geraldine Hamilton, Robert Barrett, Clive Svendsen, Daniel Levner, Stephen R Targan, Michael Workman, Dhruv Sareen, Uthra Rajamani, Magdalena Kasendra

Publication number: 20240112147Abstract: This disclosure is generally directed to systems and methods related to providing assistance services to a disabled vehicle. In an example embodiment, a method executed by a first processor in a vehicle may involve detecting an event that places the vehicle in a disabled condition; transmitting information associated with the event to a second processor; and detecting an arrival of a assistance vehicle that is dispatched by the second processor based on an automated evaluation of the information associated with the event. The second processor, which can be, for example, a part of a server computer, may evaluate the information in order to identify an assistance vehicle having equipment for providing the assistance service. In an example scenario, the disabled vehicle and/or the assistance vehicle can be an autonomous vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2022Publication date: April 4, 2024Applicant: Ford Global Technologies, LLCInventors: Keith Weston, Brendan Diamond, Jordan Barrett, Michael Alan Mcnees, Andrew Denis Lewandowski

Publication number: 20240104925Abstract: Use of a satellite network as a source of image data for detection of off-road obstacles is provided. Image data from a satellite network is received to an OBU of a vehicle via a transceiver of the vehicle. The image data is related to an off-road location to be traversed by the vehicle. A navigation map indicating locations of any obstacles detected as being present based on an analysis of changes in the image data over time is displayed in an HMI of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 23, 2022Publication date: March 28, 2024Inventors: Keith WESTON, Andrew Denis LEWANDOWSKI, Jordan BARRETT, Brendan F.

Publication number: 20240080279Abstract: A network appliance receives a network packet and determines an application identifier for the network packet. Key specification fetching circuits in the processing stages of the network appliance's match-action pipelines can use the application identifiers to read key specifications. The key specifications are stored in memory and may be cached near the processing stages. Key construction circuits in the processing stages can use the key specifications to construct keys. The processing stages can process the network based on the keys because the keys may be used to obtain action indicators from match-action tables. As such, the processing stages can construct and use keys that may be dynamically defined by storing their key specifications in memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 6, 2022Publication date: March 7, 2024Inventors: Michael Brian Galles, Neil Barrett

Publication number: 20230118814Abstract: A CMOS-based chip having one or more sensing modalities that are able independently to detect multiple metabolites present in a biological sample. The multiple sensing modalities may be provided at different locations with respect to the chip, whereby the chip can simultaneously detect a plurality of metabolites by measuring behaviour of a test material in the different locations. The chip may utilise paper as a transport mechanism for the sample. The paper either conveys the sample to the different locations or itself provides discrete testing zones in which different metabolites can be independently detected. With this technique, multiple metabolites may be measured in real time using a small scale point-of-care device.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 16, 2022Publication date: April 20, 2023Applicant: The University Court of the University of GlasgowInventors: David Robert Sime CUMMING, Samadahn PATIL, Mohammed AL-RAWHANI, Michael BARRETT, Dharmendra DHEEMAN, Chunxiao XU

Patent number: 11483345Abstract: Techniques to facilitate prevention of malicious attacks on a web service are disclosed herein. In at least one implementation, a computing system intercepts a web request directed to a web server providing the web service. The computing system identifies whether or not the web request is malicious. When the web request is identified as malicious, the computing system redirects the web request to an isolated mitigation server configured to mimic responses of the web server. The isolated mitigation server processes the web request to generate artificial content based on the web request that appears to be genuine content provided by the web server, and presents the artificial content in response to the web request.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 2017Date of Patent: October 25, 2022Assignee: Cequence Security, Inc.Inventors: Michael Barrett, Shreyans Mehta, Ameya Talwalkar
