Patent number: 12336973Abstract: Methods for treating a subject with cancer, including administering to the subject an effective amount of an inhibitor of DNAse1L3 and an effective amount of radiation therapy are provided. In some examples, the methods involve enhancing or inducing response of tumor-associated immune cells in the subject, including administering to the subject an effective amount of radiation therapy, and administering to the subject an effective amount of an inhibitor of DNAse1L3, thereby enhancing or inducing the response of tumor-associated immune cells in the subject. In some examples, the tumor-associated immune cells comprise dendritic cells or macrophages.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2021Date of Patent: June 24, 2025Assignees: Providence Health & Services—Oregon, Oregon Health & Science UniversityInventors: Michael Gough, Marka Crittenden, Tiffany Blair

Patent number: 11863563Abstract: The appropriate scoping of an access policy can be determined using the observed access and usage of various resources covered under that policy. Information about access requests received over a period of time can be logged, and actions represented in the log data can be mapped to the permissions of the access policy. A new access policy can be generated that includes grant permissions only for those actions that were received and/or granted during the monitored period of time. The new policy can be processed using policy logic to ensure that changes in permission comply with rules or policies for the target resources. The new policy can be at least partially implemented, or can be provided to an authorized user, who can choose to adopt or deny the new policy, or to accept some of the recommendations for modifying the current policy.Type: GrantFiled: March 16, 2018Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Neha Rungta, Tyler Stuart Bray, Kasper Søe Luckow, Alexander Watson, Jeff Puchalski, John Cook, Michael Gough

Patent number: 11102221Abstract: A corpus of documents (and other data objects) stored for an entity can be analyzed to determine one or more topics for each document. Elements of the documents can be analyzed to also assign a risk score. The types of topics and security elements, and the associated risk scores, can be learned and adapted over time using, for example, a topic model and random forest regressor. Activity with respect to the documents is monitored, and expected behavior for a user determined using a trained recurrent neural network. Ongoing user activity is processed to determine whether the activity excessively deviates from the expected user activity. The activity can also be compared against the activity of user peers to determine whether the activity is also anomalous among the user peer group. For anomalous activity, risk scores of the accessed documents can be analyzed to determine whether to generate an alert.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Alexander Watson, Daniel Brim, Christopher Simmons, Paul Radulovic, Tyler Stuart Bray, Jennifer Anne Brinkley, Eric Johnson, Victor Chin, Jack Rasgaitis, Nai Qin Cai, Michael Gough, Max Anger

Patent number: 10339002Abstract: Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems divide data into a plurality of portions such that the data is recoverable using a subset of the plurality of portions. For each portion of the data, a storage device different than storage devices storing all other portions of the data is selected. The selecting of storage devices includes distributing the portions of data based upon diversity of geographic locations of storage devices and diversity of storage device characteristics. The storage device characteristics include at least one of hardware characteristics, software characteristics, and operating history characteristics. Each portion of the data is stored on a corresponding selected storage device.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2016Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: VMware, Inc.Inventors: Michael Gough, Rick Brauen

Publication number: 20160201627Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system and method for sizing of system components in a dual fuel port injection system. The system includes a pressure regulator and a safety shut-off valve that feeds a main gas rail. The gas rail is operatively connected to a gas admission valve by a gas jumper tube. The gas admission valve is operatively connected to a gas admission port in a cylinder head or to an intake runner via a gas delivery tube. The gas admission valve has an effective cross sectional area that is defined by the actual cross sectional area multiplied by a modifying coefficient. The components of the system are sized based upon the effective cross sectional area of the gas admission valve.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 9, 2015Publication date: July 14, 2016Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Michael Gough, Ryan Snodgrass, Nathan Atterberry

Publication number: 20160177896Abstract: The disclosure is directed to an intake system for a machine, the intake system including a connector including an inlet portion, a mixing portion and an outlet portion where the connector is configured to flow air sequentially through the inlet portion, the mixing portion and the outlet portion within the connector, a fuel admission valve input where the fuel admission valve input is connected to an outer surface of the connector and is configured to receive fuel that subsequently enters inside the connector and a fuel admission point placed within the connector. The fuel admission point is configured to receive the fuel from the fuel admission valve input and introduce the fuel inside the connector. The fuel admission point is further configured to introduce the fuel inside the connector at an angle with respect to an airflow through the connector to generate a turbulent flow and cause mixing of air and fuel.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 19, 2014Publication date: June 23, 2016Applicant: Caterpillar Inc.Inventors: Ryan Snodgrass, Jeff Howard, Michael Gough
