  • Patent number: 12639916
    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a computer-implemented method of analyzing a land region that has been decomposed into a plurality of regular or irregular sub-regions. The computer-implemented method includes applying, using a processor system, a feature extraction process that extracts a set of sub-region environmental descriptors for each of the plurality of sub-regions. The processor system applies a similarity analysis to the set of sub-region environmental descriptors to generate groups of the plurality of sub-regions. The processor system creates a plurality of group-based graphs by encoding each of the groups into a corresponding group-based graph. A spatio-temporal neural network is used to train a model based at least in part on the plurality of group-based graphs.

  • Publication number: 20250387607
    Abstract: A medical device that includes a first body including a first actuation member including a first connector and a second actuation member. The medical device includes a second body for attachment to, and detachment from, the first body. The second body including an actuation wire, a second connector at a proximal end of the actuation wire, and a valve having one or more channels for receiving a material. Attachment of the first body with the second body results in the first connector engaging the second connector, such that movement of the first actuation member causes a corresponding movement of the actuation wire. Moving the second actuation member into the second body to interact with the valve is configured to selectively direct the material through the one or more channels.

  • Patent number: 12409260
    Abstract: The devices and methods of the present invention can be used to capture and remove COVID-19 mediating nanoparticles and/or exosomes associated with COVID-19 or similar disease from the circulatory system of patients in need thereof, including those with post-COVID-19 syndrome or similar post-disease sequelae so-called “long haul” symptoms of COVID-19 or similar disease. The present invention benefits patients by providing lectin based extracorporeal methods for binding and physically removing SARS-C7oV-2 virions, or fragments thereof, from the circulatory system. Also provided are lectin based extracorporeal methods of binding and physically removing non-viral COVID-19 mediating nanoparticles. Also disclosed herein are devices and methods for reducing the levels of biomarkers and markers of morbidity/mortality of diseases such as COVID-19 and similar diseases, including cytokines, such as IL-6, Troponin T, and D-dimer.

  • Patent number: 12200583
    Abstract: A system and method of providing information about a transport service to user devices are described. The system arranges a transport service for a first user and a second user. The system determines first data corresponding to a first route from a location of a driver device of the driver to a first pickup location of the first user and second data corresponding to a second route from the first pickup location to a second pickup location of the second user. A combined route is determined based on the first data and the second data. The system transmits data associated with the first data without transmitting the data corresponding to the combined route to a first user device of the first user, and transmits data corresponding to the combined route to a second user device of the second user.

  • Patent number: 12181534
    Abstract: A method and a device for testing a battery state determines if a battery is faulty. A first impedance test is conducted to determine the internal resistance of the battery, wherein the battery is energized with an electrical current flow with a certain frequency and a resulting voltage response of the battery is measured. A load high-current test of the battery with a test pulse HRD test is conducted next. Then, a second impedance test is conducted. The measurement results of the tests are recorded and stored, and then evaluated by arranging such results offset in relation to one another, in such a way that the battery state can be derived therefrom, in particular whether the battery is faulty.
