Patent number: 11735340Abstract: A varistor is provided having a rectangular configuration defining first and second opposing end surfaces offset in a lengthwise direction. The varistor may include a first terminal adjacent the first opposing end surface and a second terminal adjacent the second opposing end surface. The varistor may include an active electrode layer including a first electrode electrically connected with the first terminal and a second electrode electrically connected with the second terminal. The first electrode may be spaced apart from the second electrode in the lengthwise direction to form an active electrode end gap. The varistor may include a floating electrode layer including a floating electrode. The floating electrode layer may be spaced apart from the active electrode layer in a height-wise direction to form a floating electrode gap. A ratio of the active electrode end gap to the floating electrode gap may be greater than about 2.Type: GrantFiled: February 19, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: KYOCERA AVX Components CorporationInventors: Michael Kirk, Marianne Berolini, Palaniappan Ravindranathan

Patent number: 11654300Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for radiotherapy treatment plan optimization for irradiating one or more target regions using both an internal therapeutic radiation source (ITRS) and an external therapeutic radiation source (ETRS). One variation of a method comprises iterating through ITRS radiation dose values and ETRS radiation dose values to attain a cumulative dose that meets prescribed dose requirements. In some variations, an ITRS is an injectable compound that has a targeting backbone and a radionuclide, and images acquired using an imaging compound that has the same targeting backbone as the injectable compound can be used to calculate the radiation dose deliverable using the injectable ITRS, and also to calculate firing filters for delivering radiation using a biologically-guided radiation therapy (BGRT) system. Image data acquired from a previous treatment session may be used to adapt the dose provided by an ITRS and/or ETRS for a future treatment session.Type: GrantFiled: January 26, 2021Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: RefleXion Medical, Inc.Inventors: Peter Demetri Olcott, Michael Kirk Owens, Debashish Pal

Publication number: 20220337418Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to authenticating users using a plurality of non-deterministic biometric identifiers. The method includes generating a scannable code upon receiving a success nonce from a registration server. The registration server can access a user identifier and a hash of at least a signature using the success nonce. The signature can be generated based at least in part upon a biometric identifier of a user. The method includes recreating the hash of the signature stored by the registration server. The method includes generating the scannable code by encrypting the success nonce and the recreated hash. The biometric identifier of the user is generated by feeding a plurality of non-deterministic biometric inputs to a trained machine learning model producing a plurality of feature vectors. The method includes projecting the plurality of feature vectors onto a surface of a unit hyper-sphere and computing a characteristic identity vector representing the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 15, 2021Publication date: October 20, 2022Applicant: Sharecare AI, Inc.Inventors: Axel SLY, Srivatsa Akshay SHARMA, Brett Robert REDINGER, Devin Daniel REICH, Geert TROOSKENS, Meelis LOOTUS, Young Jin LEE, Ricardo Lopez ARREDONDO, Frederick Franklin KAUTZ, IV, Satish Srinivasan BHAT, Scott Michael KIRK, Walter Adolf DE BROUWER, Kartik THAKORE

Publication number: 20220126117Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for patient setup and patient target region localization for the irradiation of multiple patient target regions in a single treatment session. Virtual localization is a method that can be used to register a patient target region without requiring that the patient is physically moved using the patient platform. Instead, the planned fluence is updated to reflect the current location of the patient target region by selecting a localization reference in the localization image, calculating a localization function based on the localization reference point, and calculating the delivery fluence by convolving the localization function with a shift-invariant firing filter. Mosaic multi-target localization partitions a planned fluence map for multiple patient target regions into sub-regions that can be individually localized.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 7, 2022Publication date: April 28, 2022Inventors: Yevgen VORONENKO, Debashish PAL, David Quentin LARKIN, George ZDASIUK, Jayakrishnan JANARDHANAN, Michael Kirk OWENS, Peter Demetri OLCOTT

Publication number: 20220001209Abstract: Described herein are methods for monitoring the radiation delivery during a radiotherapy delivery session and providing a graphical representation of radiation delivery to an operator (e.g., a clinician, a medical physicist, a radiation therapy technologist). The graphics are updated in real-time, as radiation data is collected by the radiotherapy system, and in some variations, can be updated every 15 minutes or less. A variety of graphical representations (“graphics”) can be used to indicate the status of radiation delivery relative to the planned radiation delivery. Methods optionally include calculating a range of acceptable metric values, generating graphics that represent the range of acceptable metrics values, and generating a graphic that depicts the real-time values of those metrics overlaid with the range of acceptable metrics values.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2021Publication date: January 6, 2022Inventors: Michael Kirk OWENS, Peter Demetri OLCOTT, Rostem BASSALOW
