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: 20240086522Abstract: Thread information generated by one or more computing systems is captured. A thread pattern is identified from the captured thread information. The thread pattern is compared to a learned thread pattern. An anomaly is identified in the thread pattern based on a variance from the learned thread pattern. In response to identifying the anomaly in the thread pattern, an action is taken based on the anomalous thread pattern. For example, a user may be notified. The thread patterns may be extended to compare between operating systems, hypervisors, containers, and/or virtual machines.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 9, 2022Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: MICRO FOCUS LLCInventors: Douglas Max Grover, MICHAEL F. ANGELO, MARTIN FRASER ARLITT
