Patent number: 12268456Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for generating therapy annotations for display on a graphical user interface are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, therapy annotations can correspond to a location of a tip section of a catheter relative to an anatomical structure of a patient when therapy is delivered to the anatomical structure. One or more properties of the therapy annotations can be based at least in part on signals received from sensors distributed about the tip section of the catheter and/or on other characteristics of therapy delivery. The therapy annotations can be displayed alone or in combination with a three-dimensional surface representation of the anatomical structure, a representation of the catheter, and/or other visual indicia, such as a therapy contour, a distance from a nearest therapy site and/or the most recent therapy site, and/or a representation of gaps between two therapy sites.Type: GrantFiled: January 23, 2020Date of Patent: April 8, 2025Assignee: AFFERA, INC.Inventors: Doron Harlev, Nadav Geva, Paul Brian Hultz, Geoffrey Peter Wright

Patent number: 12267328Abstract: Methods are provided in which a network device hosts distinct network access resources that are managed by different entities. The method includes obtaining a request for partitioning one or more network resources of an on-premise network device for connecting one or more endpoints to a first network managed by a first entity. The on-premise network device connects one or more endpoints to a second network managed by a different entity. The method further involves partitioning, based on the request, the one or more network resources and connecting the one or more endpoints to the first network using the one or more network resources. The one or more network resources are managed by the first entity while at least one other network resource of the on-premise network device is managed by the different entity and is associated with connecting the one or more endpoints to the second network.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 2022Date of Patent: April 1, 2025Assignee: CISCO TECHNOLOGY, INC.Inventors: Nagendra Kumar Nainar, Carlos M.

Publication number: 20250032787Abstract: Methods, systems and devices are provided which transmit energy to a body lumen or passageway in the form of pulsed electric fields (PEFs) and in a manner which provides focal therapy. In some embodiments, PEFs are delivered through independent electrically active electrodes of an energy delivery body, typically in a monopolar fashion. Such delivery concentrates the electrical energy over a smaller surface area, resulting in stronger effects than delivery through an electrode extending circumferentially around the lumen or passageway. It also forces the electrical energy to be delivered in a staged regional approach, mitigating the effect of preferential current pathways through the surrounding tissue. Focal delivery of PEFs can provide increased tissue lethality by employing precise timing and sequencing of energy delivery to the electrodes.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 25, 2024Publication date: January 30, 2025Applicant: Galvanize Therapeutics, Inc.Inventors: William Sanford Krimsky, Paul Brian Friedrichs, Roman Turovskiy, Robert E.

Publication number: 20240152398Abstract: An approach for managing workload deployment, specifically, restarting workloads that are interdependent is provided. The approach includes a mechanism by which a group of interdependent workloads in a cloud infrastructure environment can be restarted sequentially. Interdependent workloads simply mean workloads that depend on each other in some way such that if one goes down, then the cloud infrastructure environment can experience downtime. The workloads can be of the same or different types. Additionally, this mechanism can be scaled such that groups of workloads can be restarted simultaneously. Furthermore, the approach can accommodate cloud infrastructure environments with multiple types of workloads, and it allows for groups of workloads to be restarted simultaneously while also allowing the workloads within each group to be restarted sequentially.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Dhyey Shah, Ratnakar Asara, MIHIR ROHIT SHAH, Paul Brian Tippett, Tam Stangler
